after 2 full weeks i think i have finally recovered from quilt camp…..
i am sure someone else knows what i am talking about the withdrawls, the exhaustion, the return to everyday life, the dreaded quilt camp hangover……..
yes, i suffered from it…..
quilt camp kicked my butt. don’t get me wrong i had a great time with a great group of gals it just sucks returning to life after quilt camp.
i did get some stuff done while at camp
3 reversible dresses for my niece
3 pairs of cropped pj pants – 2 for me & 1 for my SIL
2 bags donethe pokadot one is made from kitchen towels
the messenger bag is a Valorie Wells pattern
i made 10 pillow cases
1 for me (moose one on the far right) and 9 for the Million Pillow Case Challenge
left 2 of the 9 w/Material Girls who were at camp… what a great group of ladies
put the binding on this queen size quilt which was a mystery class from 4 years ago – finally done
block #1 for the Jelly Roll Quilt Along
block #2 for the Pinwheel Quilt Along
i also put together a simple quilt top with Simple Abundance but i forgot a pic of that one. i started some blocks from a Buggy Barn pattern (more on those below). & i started 2 skirts for my trip in May – i just need to do the elastic & then the hem.
that was camp stuff
the following weekend my bff came to town to sew
this is what i got done from Fri afternoon till Sun @ noon
block #3 for the Pinwheel Quilt Along
block #4 for the Pinwheel Quilt Along
FINISHED this quilt!!!! quilted and binded it.
it was a buck a block quilt from a LQS totally not my colors but didn’t know what the colors were going to be till after i signed up – lesson learned – anyways i set the 12 blocks with 9 patches on a diamond and bordered it up. it was fun to practice my machine quilting on it.
i also go started on quilting this ufo from 2 yrs ago. the pattern is Strip Search and its made with Pumpkins Gone Wild. i am about 2/3 of the way done.
here are the blocks i started @ camp i finished putting them together – they need to be trimmed & then arranged so i can put the top together.
and what would 2 weeks be w/out some new additions???
a Freebird charm pack & Hope Valley fat qtrs
this past week i also added a treadmill to my sewing area which was a workout itself. i don’t know that i am totally sold w/the location of everything but i will give it sometime & see.
