WIP Wednesday 11.21.12

I love when I have a few hours that I have free and that I actually get to accomplish something.

Monday I finally FINALLY FINALLY

finished my postage stamp quilt.

Because of when the sun sets and all that jazz I can't seem to find a good time to take a photo.  Oh and it's been raining like it's the west side - yuck! :)

I'm in shock and awe that I finally got something checked off my list for the 100-day hustle.

I really do love lists . .

I think.

I'll be working on more projects this weekend - yipee!

I may do a sew-in with Becky that blogs over at Solar Threads.

She is so talented!  And sewing may (or may not) prevent me from spending money.

I'll be working from my works in progress (WIP) list from the 100-day hustle including:
Knitted baby blanket - slowly but surely
Quilt-top for the friends toddler - halfway quilted. . lalala
Commission quilt - this is up NEXT BABY!
PJ pants for fella - going to have my fella help me with this one!
Quilt top put together from Block Party
Matching sock to a lone sock

Other projects that I'm working on but not on the above list includes my stripper row - love my private strip club! A few holiday gifts.  

AND I get to make fabric napkins.  .super excited!

I'm linking up to Lee over at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

Postage Stamps



Oh my dreams are filled again with orange and white spots, dots, and squares.

This WIP finally made an appearance on my design wall as it's been on my to-do list since. . uhh ever.  I started this beauty with the Postage Stamp quilt-along over at ps. i quilt

Rachel's instructions are sparse but it's only squares. . right!

I finished up my 48 blocks and slapped these on my design wall. 

I've come a LONG way since I started this project.  I'm fighting to match seams and at times needing to bring out the trusty seam ripper. And I use the iron a LOT more today that I did back then, apparently.

These have only been on my design wall for about 30 hours and so want this done.  I'm over halfway sewing this beauty together. 

I've even started plotting of a design to try on the local long-arm quilting machine I can rent. I'm thinking a loop in each white square.

I'm working on this project as part of the 100 day hustle!

Catching up on Postage Stamp blocks

Yep, what a week it's been.  Since my own health issues I've had to sit back and enjoy everyone elses blog.  I'm almost caught up reading everyone's entries - almost.

 I just finished slashing the strips and here's the first block of . . oh let's see  48.






 

Remember to go visit the Postage Stamp Quilt Along hosted by the Rachel of p.s i quilt, and the flickr group with all the amazing participants can be found here: The Postage Stamp Quilt Along - Flickr.

After this weekend you'll see oh so much more from me.

Postage Stamp Quilt-Along - Leg Work

Continuing on with the Postage Stamp Quilt along hosted by p.s. i quilt here here is the post about Leg Work

Here is what I've done for this week.  I was using fat quarters and, as Rachel posted on the flicker page for this group, I had a lot more work.  Oh it didn't help that I used my new purchase of plain white of 108" white fabric.  I got this on super sale and it's great but the width was a challenge at times.

*I rearranged the order a bit. . since this is the leg work I could still change my mind*



This pace is something I'm really enjoying.  And I'm done with this week so I'm still on a roll.  Weeeee

Postage Stamp Quilt-Along



Flicker Group

 Another quilt along?  Why yes.  Why not.  So I've been gathering items for a orange quilt.  And amazing how many I've obtained.  Trying to gather oranges it's amazing the shades within this colorway.

So many of these just won't fit in the quilt that I want for myself.  It's good to be picky!

This past holiday, my girlfriend gave me some orange fabric. She gave me a fat eight pack of some yellow and oranges.  I added this with some of my recient purchases (and some of the many in my stash) and it will be PERFECT to use in the p.s. i quilt newest quilt along called "Postage Stamp"

So this is what I have planned.  I think together it's more than lovely. It may change with my planned day o' quilting with my girlfriend.
