Working On WIPs

my life has been crazy lately.  to say the least.  
so to escape the craziness of life i sew.  
sewing is like therapy for me.  
the hum of the machine.  
the cutting of fabric.  
the steam from the iron.
the little successes that sewing gives me have been a HUGE benefit to my mental health.

i know that i will soon be packing up my house and moving into a temporary location for awhile.  a lot of my stuff will go into storage.  almost all of it.  with the exception of my personal items and sewing stuff.  my new sewing space will be small compared to the space i have now.  i know you can do a lot in a small space.  i am just use to my space.  which i won’t have anymore.  heavy sigh.

with all of that being said i am feeling a push to get old unfinished projects a.k.a. WIPs done and finished up. 
i know i made my Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt.
a temporary moment of weakness is all i can say about this quilt.
oh, and the fact that it is finished.  yeah me.

so as of right now i have 4 quilts out to a quilter.  1 quilt waiting for the green light to ship it to a quilter.  2 quilts that i am planning on quilting myself and 1 quilt that i am not yet sure who is going to quilt.

binding ready to go

for the various quilts
so out of the 2 quilts that i am quilting myself this is the one i am working on now.
my Cartwheel quilt using Prince Charming from the class i took in Sisters from Tula Pink.  i am having fun playing around with different quilting designs on this quilt.  i hope to get it finished up soon and onto the 2nd quilt i have that i am quilting.

happy sewing

a binding we may go… a binding we may go…  hi ho the dairy oh – a binding we may go…
as you may know i have had several quilts to get quilted and then to bind.  i made a deal with myself – no new projects until i got caught up on these.  well, i made a huge dent in the list.  above there are 6 completed quilts.  quilted and bound.  whew.  now if you add in the 2 that i did for the H2H charity project that would be a total of 8 quilts completed in a short period of time.
yes, i am doing the happy dance.
but only for a short time.  i still have 4 quilts yet to quilt and then still to bind once they are quilted.  ugh.  but at least 6 are knocked out and done.
when the weather gets nice i will take these outside and get some better pictures and post those.
happy sewing
