Finish Strong for Quarter 4

Well here we are - Quarter 4 of 2014. It's always good to be ambitious towards the end of the year so here's my list.  I'll be linking up at the Littlest Thistle and sitting down at the machine to get these finished!

B! mini quilt - for my wall, need quilting & binding

 TDF quilt - needs just about everything as it's still a pile of fabric & a pattern

Watercolor quilt - can't wait to quilt this one!

Improv quilt - roll over from last quarter as there wasn't any progress here

Curves - working on the table runner from A Quilter's Mixology and turning it into a wall sized quilt

2013 Pantone quilt - quilting, binding, etc. 

I'm sure a few other projects will pop up between finishing these, but that's the fun part!

Case Closed

I only managed 2 finishes this quarter from my original Q3 list - both of the Nancy Drew quilts! 

Quilt Part II is staying home with me so it was fun to take some of my Nancy Drew books outside with the quilt as props for the photo shoot.

Mystery Solved

I only managed 2 finishes this quarter from my original Q3 list - both of the Nancy Drew quilts!  

During Momm's visit this weekend, we took quilt Part I to the library for a themed photo shoot - of course.  :)  These quilts needed some classic Nancy Drew props before I send Part I off to it's new home.

October

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”  - Anne of Green Gables

There's not much color change in the trees here yet, but Fall is here with blustery days, changing temperatures, and stunning cloud work morning & night!  I've also got a bag of MacIntosh apples from Momm and biting into a crisp one makes me happy it's Fall.

So I've decided my October project will be to finish my initial mini-quilt.  Something small so that I can get back to enjoying the outdoors this month.  All it needs is some quilting & binding before it goes on the wall.

Get a Clue!

They're finished! Hooray!  

I made my September goal which was to bind both of my Nancy Drew themed quilts.  As previously stated, these are twin quilts, Parts I & II, and I quilted them both the same.  

I've used two different fabrics for binding - Sketch in yellow and the yellow pathway print from Central Park by Kate Spain.  Yellow was the obvious choice because, of course, Nancy Drew books had yellow covers!

Linking up with Fiber of All Sorts and getting ready to snuggle with a good book and my newest quilt.  I'm hoping to get some better full quilt shots this weekend too!

WIP :: 9/10/214

Hello again WIP Wednesday friends!  There's been a lot of things going on in my sewing room lately and here's a peek at what it entails.

finished
Shield: Made this Captain America shield for TJ as a going away gift.  Used this fun superhero print on the back - it was a big hit!  Intended for a table topper but will work however he wants to use it.

in progress
Nancy Drew: quilted these two, binding made for both and am halfway through attaching the binding.

B! block: Had fun making this wall block for my room from the Moda alphabet letter patterns.  Just need to quilt, bind and hang it up.

up next
Group Challenge: Sunrise table runner from A Quilters Mixology-fabric pulled & templates ready to cut
Pillow for P
Pillow (perhaps) for E


in the pile
Watercolor quilt
TDF runner (still!)
Improv quilt

Happy September

Happy Labor Day!  It's been a great weekend full of Doctor Who, friends, biking, rain storm, hiking and relaxing.  I fit in some quilting too and managed to quilt my Nancy Drew quilt.  Officially titled 'The Secret of the Faraway Friends Part I and Part II'.



My September project is to put the binding on these quilts.  Leaning towards binding it with yellow - just like the books! :)


 Linking up at Fiber of All Sorts for the start of the month.
