WIP 29/04/15

Last week I mentioned that I was going to start working on a new project from the No Progress List.

Back in 2012 I hosted and took part in the We Bee Learning bee (for more info on the bee check out the quilting bees tab. Sign ups for the summer round will start soon)

We had 12 members full of lovely ladies from around the world including my mother and friend.

Last year one of the members ( i wont mention her by name, but she has a lovely blog and is a equally lovely person) said she didn't think she would ever get around to making the quilt and wanted to know if I knew of someone that would give them a good home. Since 3 of the blocks had a connection to me I thought yes I could give them a good home. 

This is what I have. I think I will make 3 more and put the one with the coloured corners on the back

All cut and ready to be sewn

All sewn up

excuse my photo taking capabilities. I know I would getter better quality pic from my camera vs my phone...but i'm lazy..lol. 

All the blocks together.

 I was thinking of using sashing and a border..but I decided against both since i quite like the way it looks as is

The tiny white writing is just my blog name. I recently saw one of my pictures in a search for something and thought...hmm i should put my name on my pics but i hated how it looked..so i made is small..lol


Okay now the next item I am starting to work on is not on my no progress list. However, I have to work on it soon or lil Pickle will be to old to play with them. While in Palm Springs we made a stop at Jo-ann's fabric store. We don't have that store up here and it was always a dream of mine to go to one...lol I bought a few(aka a lot) of circut dies, but not a lot of fabric. Although the fabric was cute it was still more expensive then what I can buy at home before the exchange rate (which sucked boo dollar) So i just bought 5 FQ and which included the one below that I will use to make the free pattern I picked up too. 

Next weeks goal

Sew Greek Cross Blocks together and get nursery blocks made

2015  Sewing Mission Statement

In order to try and get some UFO's done this year I am going to try and keep my current to do list small and just work on one thing at a time. I am going to try and not start anything "new" but instead take one thing off of my no progress list each month.
