It’s October – Quilt UFO Time We are closing in on the end of 2024; just a couple more months to finish your quilt UFOs. I will be cramming in my projects; summer time kept me busy. Playing catch-up was the name of the game in September. Let’s hope I can have a repeat for October. My Quilt UFO list is dwindling, but I would love to be able to finish them all. Machine Quilting…
The October Installment of the Row by Row Sampler As we enter the last quarter of the year, it is time to step back and check our progress on the Row by Row Sampler. This month, I will not put the blocks into rows. After completing next month’s blocks, I will decide whether I will make two mixed rows or not. I like Friendship Stars, but when you mix them with next month’s block, they…
September Quilt UFO Progress Well, September is two-thirds of the way done. I am finding more time to work in the sewing room. I have finally completed July’s and August’s machine quilting. The September Quilt UFO on my machine now. It feels great to complete some of my Quilt UFOs, but I still have foundation piecing and Jack’s Chain to work on. Saturday Sew Day Tomorrow will be an excellent day to focus on sewing…
September installment of the Row by Row Sampler As I look out the window and see that the leaves are already starting to turn here, I realize I am not ready for winter this year. This will be a busy month; actually, it will be a few busy months for me. We are winding down on the Row by Row Sampler. It is exciting to see the results. This month, we are working on Flying…
Mid-August Quilt UFO Update Today is one of those days when they are calling for rain, but we haven’t seen it yet. I am going to play this day as if it were raining. There are so many inside chores to get done! I am working on a Quilt UFO – the foundation piecing one in my living room. Tomatoes, peppers, and onions are roasted in the oven, preparing to create sauce and chili later.…
August Row by Row Sampler Installment Finally, the next step of the Row by Row Sampler is posted! I love the way this scrap quilt is coming together. We are more than halfway through. This is the second one I have made, and I love the results! I must say those who have shared their version have me wanting to try again with a variation. So many quilts, so little time. Scrappy Hearts I was…
Sunday Sew Day Today was a good day to spend a few hours in the sewing room—my Sunday Sew Day. This was one of those days when I was productive at finishing things, although I don’t know what was different today from other days. We are just about at the halfway point in July. Up until today, I hadn’t worked on my July quilt UFOs. Progress on Quilt UFOs The foundation piecing projects for this…
July’s Row by Row Sampler Are you ready for the July installation of the Row by Row Sampler? This month’s row is quick and easy, but selecting your fabrics and cutting them out will probably take longer than sewing the blocks together. This scrappy quilt is coming together nicely. It won’t be long, and you will have a sampler quilt to add to your collection. Bow Tie Block This block requires two larger scrappy squares,…
July’s Post for Quilt UFO Happy July 1st, ooops, July 2nd! June sped by with too many things to fit into 24-hour days. In the last post, I shared that I didn’t think I would finish everything for June. So, I completed two UFOs for the previous month’s Quilt UFO. Can you guess which one I still have to do? Foundation Piecing Quilt UFO It isn’t the foundation piecing! On Friday, I found a couple…
Project Quilt UFO This month has been intense, and if I am lucky, I will play catch-up on Sunday. I knew I would be up against it during the warmer months, but we’ve thrown a couple more big things into the mix. Please be patient as I re-evaluate the priorities here. Once I have a new routine, things should settle down. I want to get back on track with my Quilt UFO list. Machine Quilting…
