WIP Wednesday – 5/6/2015

Here are my buys from the quilt show this weekend!

 

New ruler holder 5/6/2015

My new ruler holder was from a local woodmaking guild that had a booth at the show.  It looks like a chess board and I love the quality of the craftmanship.

Hand dyed fabric 5/6/2015

My other purchase was 3 packages of fat quarters of local hand dyed fabric.  The red at the top seems more bright in the picture.  It’s actually a lot more muted and is more on the darker side than the brighter side.  I do not know yet what I’m going to do with these fabrics.  At the show, I was looking for quality products that I can’t get at my regular LQS.  These products are such items.

I am working on Scrapitude, the second set of pieces for the April clue.  I haven’t got anything to take a picture of but I have been working a little bit at a time on it.  If I can spend more than 15 minutes doing anything I might be able to get all of the second set done this week and possibly the third set.

Here’s what I’m working on this week: Clue #4 of Scrapitude – I got a smidge further on this step.  I’ve got some of them pinned together.  I’m not sure I’ll be able to do much more this week.  We are out of the house every weeknight this week and have a booked weekend.  I’ll be happy with getting a bit done at a time. 🙂

Front of bag for project #1 of Sew Practical

Here’s what I’m working on this week: project #1 from the book Sew Practical.  I was able to get the boxes done for the hand embroidery part so I’ll be working on the next steps over the weekend.  If I do this again, I would like to make the boxes in a different color.  The white disappears on this fabric.  In the meantime I think I’ll work on Clue #4 of Scrapitude or quilt the border of Month by Month.  I’m not sure.  We’ll see what I feel like when I get home from work tonight. 🙂

I’m still at the same place as I was from the weekend.  I haven’t been able to play with my sewing machine these past few days.  Life has been busy.  I still plan on getting this done this week.

Almost done with Month 12 of Moon Glow!  I’ve got 1 more round left on the 12 blocks and then I’m done and I can finally move on to the other items on my to do list this month!

I’ve also got Month by Month off the mid arm.  I decided to quilt the borders on my domestic machine so I’ll be working on that once I’m ready to do that.

Moon Glow Month 12 ready for the next sew time

I’m still where I left off over the weekend… working on Moon Glow. I haven’t had chance to play with my sewing machine at all.  My son’s birthday party is this Saturday so we’ve been doing all the loose ends.  Tonight I’ve got a meeting at my daughter’s school to talk about next year’s class selection.  If I do find time to sew I’m probably going to have to clean up my area because of the party.  I’ll have to figure out a way to keep things as organized as possible…

For WIP Wednesday, I’ve got Month by Month still on the quilt frame.  I haven’t had a chance to do anything.  Well, I could have done it on Sunday but as I said previously I didn’t do it.  So now its Wednesday and no progress on that front.  I did go to the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild meeting Monday night and I won a super door prize!  Here’s what I got:

QuiltCon 2015 goodie bag

And all this loot!

And all this loot!

I love all my goodies!  I don’t know what I’m going to do with everything but I’ll figure it out.  What’s nice is that but I’m not even a member yet.  I was just checking it out.  The drive wasn’t too bad but the parking was horrible!  I almost parked in a no parking spot because it was just too confusing and I wasn’t sure whether I could park there or not.  I’m still not sure but I went somewhere else just to be on the safe side.  There also wasn’t enough places to sit so I had to stand for almost 3 hours.  Despite all of that I think I’ll join and really give it a try for a year.  ;0

For WIP Wednesday I’m working on the border for Month by Month.  I picked fabric from stash so I’m happy about that.  Since this is my practice quilt – both being my first machine pieced project began in 2007 but never finished… The project may have called for a border but I don’t think so.  Looking at it I felt that it needed something to border it.  Since I used what I had in stash I basically took the piece I liked and just determined how much I needed for each side and then used math to figure out how wide the borders should be.  My goal is to get the border done by this weekend so I can go to the quilt shop and get backing.  I do not have enough fabric in my stash for backing.  I’m planning to stick to the sale section for the backing of this quilt.

My goal is to start working with the MidArm this weekend.

This is the fabric specifically for Border #5 that was part of the kit provided to me by Vicki Welsh for Tell It To The Stars.  I love the look of the hand dyed fabric.  I was able to finish border #4 yesterday.

The only thing I had enough energy to do last night was to take the fabric and press it.  Maybe I’ll have enough energy tonight to actually cut and possible piece some of the borders together.  I’m not holding my breath.  I’m in the middle of two projects for work and who knows when I’ll be home from work because of it.

WIP Wednesday at Freshly PiecedGetting it done – one piece at a time…

I only have 1 side left to do for border #4 of Tell It To The Stars.  But Clue #2 was released for Scrapitude so I cleaned up my sewing table and set aside Tell It To The Stars and got started on this clue.
