Hello!
Well after a rather disappointing first quarter I have high hopes for Q2 as well as some trepidation! Three of my WIPs must be finished this quarter and I'll definitely need to be more organised if that is going to happen.
So without further ado here is my list:
1) Crafty Cooks Apron
I signed up for the Crafty Cooks Apron & Recipe swap and posting deadline is 30th April so this is my top priority.
My fabric is cut out and I made a trial apron to iron out any design kinks so I'm confident that a couple of evenings of sewing will sort this one out.
2) Starburst quilt
This quilt is going to be a wedding present for one of my oldest friends. She gets married on 25th May so it has to be done before then!
The top is finished and fabric for the back has arrived so I need to piece the back, baste, quilt (no idea how to quilt it) and bind.
3) Mother-in-law's quilt
When my MIL was here for Christmas she asked if I would make her a quilt. She offered to pay for it but my husband & I said it would be her birthday present. Her birthday is at the beginning of June.
The blocks are now pieced but I still have to assemble the quilt top, and quilt it.
4) Memory quilt for my aunt
While this quilt doesn't have a deadline per se, because we are going up to Scotland for the wedding it would be great if I could take this one as well and deliver it to my Aunt.
Blocks are all pieced (including replacements for the dark red blocks shown above after I decided they were too dominant) but the top needs to be pieced, borders added, find backing fabric, quilt.
5) Simply Color cushion
This little stack of HSTs will become a cushion. I've included it as knowing me I'll get weary of all my quilts and want a quick finish. I've got fabric for the back and a zip so fingers crossed I'll get round to it.
So there we go. Quite ambitious but hopefully achievable - all I need is to knuckle down and sew like a mad woman!
Off to see what everyone else has planned.
Bye
Sarah
good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks good and doable. Keep telling ourselves that and it will happen!
ReplyDeletethat's some list of lovlieness!
ReplyDeleteSarah, what apron pattern are you using? Also, I have a fat quarter of that orange fabric you're using for your apron and I love it! But what is it??? Haha, very funny about the MIL quilt, I'm in a similar situation making a D9P in those types of shabby chic beauties!
ReplyDeleteYou will be a busy quilter this quarter! Good luck with all your finishes.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! The colours and lay out of your aunt's memory quilt are quite striking.
