Let Summer commence! 12 Days - 12 Projects

And I have a plan! 

12 Days - 12 Projects! 

Yeah, I know, ambitious as it sounds, I'd really like to work on some of those projects that I have started.  Ideally I'd like to finish 12 projects over the period of the 12 days I am not actually at work.  By the word finish, of course I do mean finished to either completed top, quilted, quilted and binding on, or even, yes, even quilted and bound and finished!

 

With a quick count up of visible projects that hold potential I spied 7 ongoing piecing projects in my immediate arms reach in the studio.   I know there are something close to 15 quilt tops waiting for their turn on the frame! 

 

Soooooooooo, I'll try to keep you up to date on my progress of the quiet times whilst the teenager sleeps away the summer holidays  :) 

 

If you're looking for me, you'll find me at the bottom of the garden...

... Quilting!

Bring on Summer!

And exhale! 

I am now on leave and have the next 12 days off! 

The school holidays begin tomorrow, so let summer commence!

So for my summer quilting project (like I need another!) I am joining in with Amanda Jean's of Crazy Mom Quilts 36 block quilt along. 

I'm going to see just how far the remainder of my Wildwood by Eric McMorris stash will go.  Well, it's about time it got used, it's been sitting there for the last 2 years!

This is my first...

Pretty huh? 

Let's see how far I get

Project 51

I can't tell you anything about this project yet, I hope you understand  :) 

But at least I get to show you my blocks ...

Happy Quilting!

Christmas catch up

I thought I better post my Christmas Quilt Along progress from Monday ....

I got the quilt finished before the deadline of Monday night, but sadly was not one of the winners of any of the giveaways ...

Quilted and bound. 

I have more to share, but I'll save that for another day  :) 

In the mean time, I've linked this post up with Quiltstory's Fabric Tuesday so go take a look at what everyone esle is up to  :)   

Happy Quilting!

Christmas Quilt Along Day 2

Charlie is hosting a Christmas Quilt Along today, long story short, he works Saturdays and misses out  :) 

So these are my fabrics ...

I'll be back later with progress  ...

Happy Quilting! 

Christmas Quilt Along #2

I was hoping to get some nice little wallets to hold these cards ...

Which I managed one, and got the start of another on the go ...

there's only one problem ...

The cards I was planning to put in, just don't fit! 

Shocking!

But I'm pleased with this one all the same, I'm sure I can find some nice little notelets to pop in it ...

Next time I'll remember to add a bit  ...  oops

it's been a long day!

And now it's time for bed already!

It's that time again!

Christmas in July!

I'm home and heading to the bottom of the garden to play catch up with everyone else joining Sue over at Quilt Times for the Christmas Quilt Along. 

Come back later and see what I've been up to  :)
