Proposed Finishes 2016 Finish-Along Q3

I was able to complete a few of the projects on my list for the second quarter but will move some over to my new list and add some that I had not posted.  Planning goals has helped me to stay focused on finishes and I have been able to cross some off my list.

Adornit quilt, complete the pieced back and quilt and bind it.

Sunshine quilt, complete blocks and borders, quilt, bind.

Make a pillow or wall hanging.

Make pillow or wall hanging.

Quilt and bind baby quilt.

Fall quilt that I made for the Desire to Inspire Challenge at Henry Glass Fabrics.  Prepare backing, have it quilted and bind it.

Another quilt from the Desire to Inspire Challenge.  Needs quilting and binding.

Snapshot quilt, top complete and sent to quilter, bind when completed.

I have the backing and binding material so this small quilt is waiting to be completed.

Lincoln Schnibbles, top pieced, quilt and bind to complete.

Vintage Quilt, quilted and ready for binding.

These are my goals for the 2016 Finish Along.  I am sure they are more than I will get to but I will keep working to complete as much as can.   I will be linking with the 2016 Finish Along Q3 here.  It is fun to visit and see what plans other quilters have for the quarter.

Getting Ready For Where Blogger's Create 2016

It is time again for "Where Blogger's Create", a blog party sponsored by Karen Valentine at My Desert Cottage.    Click here and read Karen's post about participating in the 2016 event.

I love my creating space but it does need a bit of work.  This will motivate me to get it a few thing taken care of and take a few pictures.  I doesn't matter how simple or elaborate your space is, snap a few pictures and share it with us in a blog post and link up to this fun blog party.

Tumbler Quilt Complete

This quilt was simple and fun to make and is now a gift for one of our granddaughters.  I love the cheerful Riley Blake fabrics and the quilting made this simple quilt pop.  It was not the number from my All people quilt list that I had planned to complete because when I decided that it would be Rosie's birthday present.   I started to work on this instead of my #10 project, this was such a busy month and I did not spend a lot of time sewing.

Rosie's birthday is tomorrow, I hope she likes her quilt.  This project is shared on my post for the 2016 Finish Along post here .   I will link with Julie's Hello 2016 Goodbye UFO's post here.  I will also be linking with the 2016 Finish-Along Q2.

One Stitch at a Time for June

Kathy Schmitz is a needle work designer.  She has a subscription you can sign up for called One Stitch at a Time.  For two dollars a month you will receive an embroidery design in your email.  This is the first one, the June design called Home Sweet Nest.  Visit Kathy's blog here if you are interested in signing up to receive the embroidery designs.

I made this in to a pillow for a special friend.  I did the embroidery and then went through my fabric stash to choose the fabrics for the pillow.

The fabrics are from the Farmhouse collection by Fig Tree Quilts.  I have always liked Fig Tree fabric lines and I bought a stack of fat quarters in the Farmhouse line.  I am using these fabrics in my Row by Row quilt.  It is fun to work on a project that can be completed in just a few days.  Now it is time to get back to the binding on my tumblers quilt.  It is a gift for a sweet little girl and I should get it in the mail soon.

Fabric, Fabric, and More Fabric

This is the fabric I have set aside for my Maggie's First Dance Block of the Month.  The first block is out and many people have shared their completed blocks but I have not found the time to get started.  I am determined to get at it soon. I always enjoy participating in Jacquelynne Steves' block of the month.

I went to visit my dear friend Melanie and came home with some beautiful fabrics. This is some of the fabric I have added to my stash in the past few weeks.  Most purchases have been made with a focus on specific projects on my future quilts list.  I must admit a couple of jelly rolls and charm squares and even some fat quarters were purchased because I just love the fabrics.

June Finish Goal

This small quilt top is my goal for  June.  I made the tops several months ago and hope to get it quilted and finished by the end of the month, which seems to be fast approaching.  I have been working on the binding on another quilt which will be a gift for one of my granddaughters.  This was number 10 on my project list which was the number chosen for the All People Quilt 2016 UFO Challenge.

It is so hard to just keep working on finishes, I must admit that I have started a few things and made plans for many more in the future.  I have also done a bit of fabric therapy shopping so my list of projects is getting longer and longer.

I hope you have had a good month so far and that you enjoy whatever creative activity makes your heart happy.

Rejoice in the Lord Always

Snapshots Quilt Top Complete. Yeah!

My May project for the 2016 UFO Challenge at Allpeoplequilt was to complete my Snapshots quilt top.  Yeah, I did it!  This quilt top is pretty big, my tall son-in-law Kevin had trouble holding this one up.  I will get the back ready too take to have it quilted later this week.

I will link to 2016 Finish Along Q2

I really like how this quilt top turned out.  I plan to embroider eyes on the dog and cat blocks and have a camera block to finish for the back before having it quilted.

The block below is one from an old block of the month that I have been trying to work on.  The quilt will be pretty when I get it all complete.

I have made four blocks for this project so far.

I will link up with Julie's post at The Crafty Quilter to share my May finish.
