WIP Wednesday.....

Again? Already??

Far out the weeks go by so fast. I feel like I'm a salmon swimming up stream. Doing heaps of work and getting nowhere.

In the last week I have quilted 3 customer quilts








Put together all my dresden wedges


Almost got Oscars dino quilt together


Made a start on the Farmers Wife Sampler.
 I found a yahoo group were they have all the foundation piecing papers to print out. Beats all those templates!!!




Made a start on getting curtains on the windows. I'm really sick of the $2 fabric thats hanging over the windows at the moment.


Been to our Modern Quilt Guild were we almost got the blocks for 2 quilt tops for charity done.

Wowzers.... when I right it down I have been a busy beaver....

WIP Wednesday.....

This week I have just been trying to finish what I have started.
My Dresden Plate pieces are being ironed. It's taken so long to get these done. Maybe I was a bit ambitous. It will be lovely when it's done.

Almost all ironed......

Oscars Dino quilt.
All the stack n slash blocks are done,I just need to put this one together.

This is the panel I started with.....

These are the blocks I made to go with the panel.....

Ive' been cutting some blocks for a charity quilt we are making through our Modern Quilt Guild. I only have to cut the white and it's all ready for members to sew up the blocks.


That's what I've been up to. Go over to Freshly Pieced and check out what others are up to on WIP Wednesday.

WIP Wednesday...


It's been a strange couple of days. My boys have gone to stay with Ma & Pa for a couple of days and I've been bangin' around here all by myself. As I am on "holidays" I thought I would put one of my quilts on the frame and do some whimsical custom quilting. I would have done a customer one but I'm waiting on a thread delivery.

This quilt is made from Heather Bailey fabrics. It is so fresh.

I left the whirlygigs with no quilting. I only quilted the background......




The other project I have done a bit on this week is my dresden plate. There are 500+ wedges that were sewn and turned through. Next up is the pressing. I'm putting that off. I should just do 20 at a time and it won't hurt my back so much... 


I'm linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced. Go on over and see what everyone else is up to...
