Okay now onto something that I haven’t done in
awhile......Work In Progress Wednesday!! I really feel like I have been getting
a lot of sewing done this month, however when I look back I haven’t gotten much
done at all.....LOL Oh well I am waiting for some fabric to arrive and I have
to go into the city to buy some more fabric too so that has kind of brought
things to a halt as well.
Today I am linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced and @The Needle and Thread Network. Make sure you hop on over there and see what everyone else is working on too.

My August to do list
International Stashers bee- Chris is
asking for a free form strip block. Should be easy enough and is in red, aqua
and white. I have the two white 14x14 blocks cut as well as a few red strips.
This is the only aqua that I have so I had to order some more...hopefully it
shows up soon!!
We Bee Learning group one block for Rita- Postage
stamp blocks. This should be fun and will really get me working on perfect
seams! Rita has a great tutorial HERE. I have started saving all my scraps and
putting them into different bags. I have quite a few squares so I am going to
try and make one block just matching up squares and then if that doesn’t work I
am going to use her tut to do the rest...lol
Bee Creative 2012 block – It’s my month
to host. I am asking for The Classic Paint box blocks from Ohfransson.com I
ordered a precut pack of 10’ squares so I can finish this quilt on my
own....can’t wait to get my fabric and everyone’s blocks!!
Wonky Bee block – waiting for my
package to arrive

We bee Learning group 2 quilt- Finally
got all my blocks sewn together. I made an extra block to go with the 2 extra I
received from Nita and Jody. I am going to find a nice bright orange to use as
a large 2nd
border and maybe a black skinny border for the 1st
one...just to frame it all off...what ya think?
Dots blog hop-This starts in September
and my day to show is on our wedding anniversary September 13th. I

Wow! Seems to me that you did accomplish alot in August, but your list of no progress is daunting! I'm sure mine is close to yours but I just don't keep a list so it doesn't scare me! hahaha
ReplyDelete|Gosh you're as busy as I am lately...there aren't enough hours in the day!! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteYou always get so much done:)
ReplyDeleteWow! You are busy! Lots going on. I love your pinwheels.
ReplyDeleteWhat a list! I really like those bowls!
ReplyDeleteGosh, your list is unbelievably long....but what is amazing is how you manage to get it done! The We bee blocks are perfect. I like the ideas for the borders.....I think it will frame your blocks nicely but not detract from them....I'm sorry I missed your bowl with borders post...I'm going to check it out right now!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have "bitten off" a huge bit of work! It makes me feel tired just reading your list! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you are super busy, all your projects look great! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, looks like a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the reveal. You big tease ;)
Your projects are really nice, love those bowls, but what really blows my mind is your blog background. Is it a picture of the scotch marigolds in your garden?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how busy you are and how many projects you have on the go.
