the long list

February 6, 2010July 24, 2015 renegadequilterLeave a comment

the list is long and the weekend is short (again)

i didn’t get done this week what i wanted to but whoever does?

i did get this v-day quilt/blanket done for my niece

its made out of the cuddly fabric w/flannel on the back

if you have ever sewn w/cuddly fabric you know it stretches

needless to say it will be awhile before i sew with it again

also, thanks to my friend Sharon who gave me the pink cupcake

fabric that started this project

i did get a bag started with the fabric below

planning on finishing this tonight after work

will post pics once its finished

i have 2 Christmas quilts to get ready for quilting

they were suppose to be done this past Christmas

but we all know how that goes

hey – i will be ahead of the game for this coming Christmas – right???

since i quilt on my machine i guess time will tell….

the 1st one is “Trees For Sale” pattern made using Figgy Pudding

the 2nd one is a Buggy Barn pattern

and speaking of the Buggy Barn i dug out these fat quarters
that i got there about 1 year and a half ago
i have picked a pattern for these and yes
its a Buggy Barn pattern

i was down and out 1 day this past week with a reaction
to a medication that i just started so i spent a lot of time with my
lap top looking at blogs and quilting websites
what a wealth of information we have at our finger tips

oh, i almost forgot
Sunday we have a road trip planned to a quilt store
that is having its annual Super Bowl Sale
hopefully i won’t do to much damage…….

not enough hours

February 2, 2010July 24, 2015 renegadequilterLeave a comment

there is not enough hours in the weekend to get it all done but

here is a bit of what took place in my sewing world

cut out and started this super cute cupcake quilt

for my adorable niece

its a V-day gift so its next on the list to finish

made 2 more blocks for Cancer Is Sew Done

not typical colors for me so it was fun putting them together

finished the quilting and binding on this baby quilt
its for a co-worker’s sister who is due the 1st part of March

i quilted it with circle just to make it a little more fun
don’t look to close some of the circles have an organic shape to them
but that’s what makes it unique….right?

weekend to dos

i don’t think there are enough hours in the weekend
to get everything done that i want to.
someone said to me yesterday that she needed a
6 day weekend.
i couldn’t agree more.

i have to work (at my regular job) Saturday so that
really cuts into the sewing time.

oh well, life goes on……..

this weekend i will finish up the baby quilt i started
last weekend.
start prepping some projects for an up-coming quilt camp.
work on a V-day quilt for my adorable niece.
