Summer 2019 is winding down....

-
Well, it's soon back to school and that means that I'll be very busy in a month's time, trying to find time to quilt.  But because I was crazy crazy busy in May and June, I've been trying to catch up on a number of my BOM's.  And while no one was looking (anyone out there????) I got caught up in two more BOM's.  Really, am I crazy or what? 

So one of them which I am enjoying so much because I'm doing nothing but using scraps, that I've got caught up in a lot of the blocks (two per month - sometimes three) with "A Time for All Seasons" by Sew Incredibly Crazy.  I love this girl, the designs are so delicious, and so much fun to do.  If you're into applique they have one a month, and if you're not the other block is always a traditional style block to do.  Don't believe me?  Give it a look yourself...


16 blocks in total so far.


Top and bottom are the matches.  May and June here.

Traditional blocks (March here I believe)

You can use the traditional applique (which I've done in a couple) and I also used button stitch in the August one.  Both the above ones are August.

I want to use QAYG (quilt as you go) to get this done.  I'm looking at doing 5 in a row, with a shadow on each block (just need the right background for it as many have a white background).  Looking forward to seeing some of the rows done now as I already have at least 3 rows that I can start on.

Once more a big shout out to Sew Incredibly Crazy for doing this with some of her friends.  The blocks are free for the month, but to catch up you need to purchase them.  I missed June, so I purchased that one for $6 for 3 blocks.

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be….

This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
