Finally Finished! Week 2


This week I had a couple of cute personalised pillowcases to make as well as my challenge!

I'm so pleased to be on track with my challenge.  Can you believe this beautiful Blue Quilt only needed the binding hand stitched down (not my most favorite job obviously)  quilting threads cut off and basting pins removed.  I must have been going thru a bit of a blue theme at one stage, whilst digging in my Works in Progress (WIP's) box  I found another quilt top with Blue Dresden Plates and Irish Chain blocks.

Technically I'm not finished until the label gets sewn on, all going well I'll do that tonight, then choose another project that needs completing.  My bag hasn't been started yet but I have chosen fabrics and zipper and buckles, does that fit in as a WIP, we'll see next week!

Finally Finished! Week 1



Like many crafters and quilters out there, I have a lot of unfinished projects (UFO's), works in progress(WIP's)  that have been tossed into a tub for another day,  for reasons due to always busy family life,  projects I fell out of love with and of course many new and exciting projects I just had to try!

I've decided to set myself a little challenge and try and go through this tub full of magical treasures and start completing them one by one.  Of course there is a weekly time limit so that I can share them all with you, that might be a bit ambitious.

Here's the first one.  I love butterflies and have had these beauties sitting in the tub for a few years now.  Lovely Batik fabric really complimented them and some stipple quilting.  I'm very happy with how it turned out and it's up and hanging on the wall already. 

Now that wasn't so hard was it, best go and see what I'll finish up next, I have a week right!
