Works In Progress Wednesday - The Back To School Edition

Do you hear that? That is the sound of silence. My youngest started school yesterday. It was hard on him and it was hard on his Mama. He said his favourite part of the day was the bus ride. Sigh. He was smiling when he got off the bus though and he didn't fight going to school today so we're hoping for a better day today.

I thought I'd be way more, "Woo hoo! I've got 6.5 blessed hours of free time!" because I've been thinking about this time since oh, January. LOL! Quilting time. Shower time. Cleaning reading time. Whatever time. Yesterday flew by though, spent catching up on a lot of things I'd ignored over the summer, and it was 3:10 p.m. when I looked up! Ridiculous!

So where are we on the mega WIP list after a summer of sporadic quilting?

Completed Projects:

All Things Equal: Completed, blogged and gifted!



Happy Canada, Eh!: My entry into the Stamp On It blog hop. Though it's meant to celebrate Canada Day, it is still gracing my kitchen. I'm not sure it will ever come down. I do so love this quilt. :)


Hard Core: Hard Core is done and blogged about here.


Simply Solids Bee

Rolling stone block for the wonderful Patti!

Simply Solids Bee - August Block - Carmine Group

Current Projects:


Bright StripesThis is a test of my coming-soon Falling For Stripes pattern. It's basted and I've figured out what I want to do quilting-wise so I'm eager to get at'er.



Su{Brrr}nova Scraps: No progress.

Scrappy Trip AlongNo progress.

Scrap{Bee} Quilt: It's back on the design wall. I'd like to finish up the two or three remaining blocks and finish the top this week.


Kingston quilt: No progress.








What are you working on this week?

  2. Love those log cabin blocks and that Canadian stamp quilt should really live at my place. I see that red is a colour that you like to use quite a bit. I'm just getting into using red. Those other quilts are quite nice - you really have been busy.

  3. Well, today my "little one" started grade 12. He's been adult height since grade six, but still it feels strange. I spoke to a friend this morning who had the last of her three kids graduate in June, so after 18 years of school, now she has three university students.
    you have an impressive list, but do enjoy a little space to yourself too!

  8. I'm just hoping to get through the week - probably not making much. I'm also back to school and getting used to standing, talking, and wrangling teenagers all day again is tiring. But awesome. :)
