WIP Wednesday!

Here we are again!! I feel like I haven't gotten much done. Probably because of the lying sick on the couch watching Disney Channel for two straight days. I've seen enough Good Luck, Charlie to last a loooooong while. :)

I am tickled pink to now have 99 followers!! Yea!! Maybe I'll hit the big 1-0-0 soon! :) **edit!!! Mitzi is now #100!!!! YEA!!!! I am so tickled! WooHoo!!

Anyway, here is what I managed to get done this week:

SBS Block #9 - Double Star

I really like this block! I like the 2nd layout too, but I didn't get to make another one. So cute! And notice the awesomeness with the outer directional fabric?!? All the same direction!!



That was pure luck. I didn't really even pay attention until I got to the outer corners. hahaha! Lucky me! =D

Halloween Quilt - all 9 blocks are done!


The applique was a bit of work, but they are so so so cute!!! I am so excited to sew the top together this week!!

Twin Frolic - squares are... basically... cut out!


I have drawn up the plan and it should come together quickly!!

Secret Project - I have a MAJOR good idea for this. But it would take months to accomplish, and I have... about a week. So I'll go with the simple, original plan. Irritates me though...

That's all. I really need to step it up this week! :) Be sure to check out all the awesome WIPs at Freshly Pieced! Happy sewing!

WIP it up!!

So, I finally feel like I'm starting to get back into the swing of things! Yea! I have had a very productive week!

Finished - Queen Frolic! Hip Hip Hooray!!


Top Finished - Summer Series! Bigger Hip Hip Hooray! Thanks for all of the love on this one! I am tickled with it and cannot wait to figure out the quilting!!


Blocks finished - SBS Sampler: Virginia Star and Breaking out!



I just have to say, I LOVE this magic way of making Flying Geese. It has saved the geese for me! :)

Still in progress:

Halloween! I have everything cut out and sitting in cute little piles. Now that I have finished the Queen and the SS top, I think this one can become my focus!!

New Stuff:

Frolic 2: This is a twin size sister quilt to Queen Frolic. The lady that I made it for has a bunk bet set and wants a quilt that compliments the queen, so I will be diving right back into the leftovers to come up with something cute! Now that the queen is done, I am much more excited to start this one!

Super Secret: I have an idea for a secret project for a special someone. It will be a quick project, so more info to come soon!

Well, that's all! Happy WIP Wednesday! Be sure to check out all of the awesome WIPs over at Freshly Pieced!!

Queen Frolic Complete!!!

Yipee!!!! I finally finished the Queen Frolic Quilt!! I am so excited (and relived) to have this one finished!! Sorry for the less than awesome pictures, it was the best I could do today... ;)


I must be honest here... I love this quilt! The applique turned out better than I could have hoped! Love it!


Pink sheet on the back! It is so bright and happy!


The owl is my favorite!

So, this one is finally of the WIP list, and today I will start the twin size sister frolic quilt! It'll be cute! :)

Also, stay tuned! Later this week, I will be having an "Oh, I missed my blogiversary?!" Giveaway!! :)

WiP Wedensday

Wednesday arrives again! Here a look into the in-progress drawer! I've got a lot!!!

Princess has finished her 3rd block...


She is doing great! And, isn't she the cutest thing ever? :)

As for me, I am in Quilt-a-long Heaven!! :)

Skill Builders Sampler:

This week we did pinwheels!


I love pinwheels! And these are so cute! I finally found a decent pink/red to add to the color scheme to get the colors moving! I look forward to the next block! Here are my four completed!


Love em!

Summer Sampler Quilt a long:

Since last week, we've done Greek Cross, Mosaic Block, and Flower Garden Path. Here are my four completed ones:


Love. Love. Love. With my SBS blocks in a much more subdued color scheme, I wanted this to be bright and colorful. Done. And I couldn't be happier with the blocks so far! Although, the last one had about a zillion half square triangles. And that was following a zillion HSTs in the pinwheel block. Ugh. While I am happy to get better at them... please!!! NO MORE!! lol! Okay, I know there will be more, but yikes. ;)

Kaleidoscope:

The top is done! I added a border and really really love how this top has come out!!!


Queen Frolic:

Question: Am I the only one who gets to the point where the only thing left on the top is the borders, and then spend all my time avoiding the borders like the plague? So a job that should only take about 30 minutes ends up taking 5 days? Do you do that too? I hope so... anyway, I finally got the borders on (today). I went with plain white borders and I think I like it. It almost feels like you're looking out of a big window.


I have a sheet for backing and should finish it up this weekend! Yea!

Halloween quilt: oops. I'll start that this week...

Well, that's all! Be sure to check out all of the wonderful WiP's at Freshly Pieced!

WiP Wednesday!!

Howdy! What a lovely week it's been...

The princess didn't make any more progress this week. Something about swimming lessons, dance class, play dates... you know! :)

But me... Oh, it's been a fun week!

SBS Quilt a long:

It was challenge week: design your own block and get the measurements right. I did a block I've decided to call Ninja Star.

It reminds me of those throwing stars. Picture the star part in silver and the background in anything else... do you see it? I really like it! :)

Summer Series Sampler Quilt a long!

Block one: the Virginia Star!


I went with bright orange and yellow. This quilt is bound to be bright! I love it!

The Queen Size for the Princess's teacher: Here after called "Queen Frolic" (Original, I know...)


I am LOVING how this is coming together!! I am pleased with the applique too! So fun! I still need to add the border, but this top is just about done! Yipee!!

Check out all the great WiPs at Freshly Pieced!!

WiP Wednesday!

Ready... Set... GO!

First up - Princess WiP


She isn't quite finished with her second block, but she has laid out the scraps. She told me yesterday that she is going to change a few, and sew it today. So, she'll probably have two finished to show next week! She is having a great time!

As for me...

SBS Quilt a long

The Churn-dash

Very cute block! I am really enjoying this quilt a long! I feel like I have learned a ton already!! Here are my three so far!


Cute!!

Kaleidoscope QAL
My corners are sewn, and I am ready for the next step! Here is my favorite layout: random deliciousness...


NEW PROJECT!

The Princess's former Kindergarten teacher emailed me and asked if I could put together a quilt for her little girls queen sized bed. After some thought, I showed her an older panel that I still had sitting in my drawer, and she really liked it. Then, as I was talking to my neighbor, I learned that she had a whole bunch of the Frolic line in her stash, which she let me buy from her! I have enough for the whole top and part of the back AND binding!! YEEHAW!! I have some great ideas, but here is a taste of the layout beginnings...


More to come! Stay tuned!

Finally... It's July now. Is it time? I think it's time...


I just love Halloween!! And I have been sitting on this pattern since last November. I can't wait to start working on this!! :)

That's all for this week! Linking up to Freshly Pieced! Be sure to check out all of the awesome WiPs!!
