Works in Progress Wednesday - October 3, 2012

I'm looking at my crazy-ass WIP list and trying to figure out what I can finish this month for OctoberQuest with TGIFF! I'm very excited that Mad About Patchwork has offered up a couple of gift certificates as prizes and a 10% discount for all participants this month. I think it's going to be fun!

It's been two weeks since my last WIP post so this is a twofer. While it looks like I've done a lot, what this actually means is that I haven't been getting much sleep. Add in that son #3 has a nasty cold and is up 3 or 4 times a night and what you have here is a walking zombie. Not enough hours in the day!

New Projects: The moratorium on starting new projects is barely hanging on by a thread. I'm planning my Don't Worry {Bee} Happy blocks for my month, which is November. I've got to start cutting...

Completed Projects:
Torn Landscape:

Selvage Pincushion: Filled and sewed!


Don't Worry {Bee} Happy Block for September:

Colour My World Orange: My sad little black hole-eating amoeba.



Current Projects: 

Modern Goodness - Finished the top. Next up is the backing using some of the scraps from the front and some quilting in lime green.

Hudson's Bay Point Blanket Quilt - Almost done the quilting! Thank goodness for audio books to alleviate the mind-numbing boredom of straight-line quilting a queen-sized quilt. This one is going to be getting my focus over the next few days.

  2. Wow, you've been productive! I so hear you on the mind numbing straight line quilting. Every time I do it I think "not again" but then a perfect project comes along and it just needs it. That triangle top is so great and I love your idea of quilting in the green.

  13. can't say as I ever did a queen sized quilt by machine - just by hand and that a few years back... I am concentrating on smaller things -- and your landscape is so interesting - I really must try something along those lines...
