WIPs

I  really need to finish some of my WIPs. I attempted to attend a quilt meeting on Saturday and it was cancelled due to the weather. 3rd Saturdays at 9 am. I want to have several finished quilts to show next month. So CHOP CHOP...

I have listed my quilts in order from most completed to least. This should probably be the order in which I work on them. 

However, that being said, I am really thrilled with #5 right now and am working nightly on those blocks.

To do today:
  • Buy backing fabric (7 yds) for the Cross-stitch double bed quilt. Joann's - $7.99 a yars Sew Essentials-Bleached Muslin 120''. Sounds like a good deal
  • Take photos of my WIPS and other fabrics and add to blog so I can view them. 
  • Buy dressmaker's stencil - French curve. Go online for it. http://www.amazon.com/C-Thru-Ruler-Company-French-Curve/dp/B001E1Z6PS
  • Get Cindy's book? http://www.cindyneedham.com/handbooks.html
 

Quilts being worked on

  1. Eli's Christmas Quilt - "A Christmas Quilt for a Christmas Boy" - very close. Just about 5 blocks need more free-form quilting.
  2. Wall hanging - Need to add more quilting with my metallic threads.
  3. ABC quilt - ready to quilt. Need to mark with stencils and pounce. Or should I just do different free-form patterns in each one? 
  4. Star Quilt #2 - 19 of 32 blocks done - ready to quilt center
  5. All Hallows QAYG quilt - 4 of 12 blocks done. Backing will be black and white with black and red (love fabric) to join. Should I make more squares and make this queen size? Maybe
  6. Star Quilt #3 - 0 of 32 blocks needed - ready to quilt center
  7. Dogwood Hand quilt - so close! Haven't worked on it in years. Need to pull it out and just do it. especially with more snow coming.
  8. Flower hand quilt - Can I do this with the machine to finish? Pull out and look at it.
  9. Wine Placemats - One quilted and ready to bind. One sandwiched and ready to quilt. Two pieced and need to be sandwiched.
  10. Cross-stitch double bed quilt. Need to finish cleaning the back to clip threads. Figure out how much fabric needed and piece or buy backing fabric.
  11. Green placemat - need to finish rest of quilting and bind it. One green one already finished.


Quilts being planned

  1. Woodsy wonders small - motifs cut. Need to cut batting and decide on the back fabric. Butterflies? I am thinking about crooked squares and fill in with random strips or rethink this. Maybe sky/star fabrics?
  2. Woodsy wonders #2 - fabric only. Nothing cut out.
  3. ABC panel - really small. Need to figure a design to go around it. Don't really want to cut it.
  4. Laurel Burch panels - I have two. Wall hanging size.
  5. Wine panels - placemats?
  6. 2 cartoon space panels - 2 separate quilts?
  7. Noah's arc panel
  8. Quilt for Connor - Houses or something with a train and some houses/landscape?
  9. Flower QAUG for my bed
  10. Cat and Dog quilt - 9 patch? QAYG strips on the other?
  11. Globe fabric - have 2
  12. Batik quilt? 
  13. Pineapple quilt?
