Oops quilt top done

And added to the stack of tops in waiting...to become quilts.

Even the border came from scraps.Leftovers from a double wide backing did the trick.
This is the quilt I am working on with free motion quilting.

And here is where I have started. I am taking my time as I try to plan out what I want to quilt as I go.

Feathers and petals sew far

TThanks for stopping in to see what I have been up to.

Have a great weekend. I think we will be enjoying some spring like temperatures and Sun shine.

I started something new out of the scrap basket ......
Cutting strips , sewing into blocks and now I think I am about half way to a new quilt top.

Scrap strips in my little basket

Now to decide 4 or 8 large pieced block yet to make

I know I should finish all the past projects ,but this one only started with test block on Friday before we left for the weekend....... and it grew some.

Well I think I should go have a look and try to organize my works in progress. Wish me luck.
Have a great week. I hope you get to enjoy some spring weather.

UFO's and other works in progress

Well the weather here is very March like , spring has come and gone a few times. Which only means winter is not done with us yet.
So with the weather so undecided I have been keeping up with my sewing. I've gotten a few more projects finish that were started in the past some completed as well.  I will share with you a few other goodies that I have worked on this month hope you enjoyed my little show. First a quilt of one side and sleepers all ready for some cuddles.

Next a wall hanging ready for spring.

Then another wall hanging that was paper pieced a couple years back for a blog hop.

Then a little scrap basket that I found on !one, it's getting put to work as I cut up some scraps into strips for a scrappy quilt.

I worked up some towels to hand on the stove as well as a sewing machine peddle stop/gripper for a friend.

I have also been working on a quilt , doing hand quilting . Last week there were only 3 blocks quilted now I am on number 12.

Workin' up some wool

I'm going to try out using wool balls in the dryer to soften clothes as well as help remove static. Last week my daughter and I worked on a basket of wool balls for her to take home. And since I have a few more balls of wool I thought why not give it a try too. The wool gets wrapped into a ball, then washed and dryer to felt them.
Here's my basket of dryer balls, ready to use. You can add scented oils to the balls to lightly scent your clothes.

February finishes

Well in January I got off to a great start with a few finishes and new projects. This month not as many new projects but a couple of finishes to share with you.

I finished mine Super Bowl Sunday quilt as well as a table runner but I only share just a peek of that for now. I also did up a little mini Runner that looks like a little candy that was shared on the SewCanShe quilt blog.

Perfect for Canada's birthday!

Other than these projects I have a oneis and sleepers quilt under construction. I am getting started on some flower girl dresses for your daughter's upcoming wedding.

This week we were able to get all the runners made and the fabric bought for the 3 little dresses.

After a couple of spring like weeks we have a blanket of snow. Winter is not done with us just yet.

Happy stitching

Annette
