i've been a busy sewing bee since the new year arrived....finally this week put all of Christmas away for now.....things really look bare.
my struggling oregano plant has big shoes to fill....
i finished the baby quilt for my daughter's co-worker...she chose the fabrics and mom did the sewing....one of my many mother jobs!
i used the tula pink fairy dust print for the background...then turned my attention to my sewing....first, finished quilting the side triangles on this piece....
glad i heeded the whispers to do just that....it was an official UFO for this year....and then
my version of the bohemian churn dash....smaller, fewer blocks and done! it's throw size and just too darn colorful, don't you think? another UFO off the list! that leaves me with 24 or 25 maybe...most are wall quilts. next? it's baste wildest dreams so i can put away the folding table. it takes up a lot of space in my living room/studio and then can finally get to that apartment clean that keeps getting passed over on the list.
got snow? we don't, haven't had either. it's the perk for surviving the oppressive heat in july and august.
it's monday, a whole week of sewing fun ahead!
Gosh, you have been a busy bee. Your daughter should be happy with the baby quilt and you must be happy to have added the final touches to your quilt. I do love the churn dashes. Such a happy looking quilt. I hope you get that cleaning out of the way. It will be a weight off your shoulders once it is done.
ReplyDeleteCould you please send me the recipe for all that quilting mojo?! Amazing start to the new year, I especially love the bohemian churn dash quilt.
ReplyDeleteI leave unfinished stuff lying around until they annoy me into finishing...lol
DeleteYou really have been a busy bee Grace and the quilts all look fabulous! Christine xx

ReplyDeleteGreat finishes!!!! And so sweet for a baby!
ReplyDeletelove that churn dash!!!
You are ahead of me--I am still working on getting the garlands down and the nativities boxed.
ReplyDeleteLovely baby quilt.
I adore the basket quilt.
And the churn dash quilt looks like a party is definitely happening there. What fun!
Yes--got snow--Lots of it, with more coming.
You're focused and driven; I'm impressed! I love what you've accomplished; checking them off one by one can be so motivating. Good for you! I think that it looks pretty bare around here w/o all the Christmas things up too. But, it's easier to clean and supervise the puppy with the tree down! ;)
