If it's Wednesday, it must be binding day!

Only now! I usually machine quilt my bindings on both sides.
Not only makes finishing faster but also is easier on my hands...

I finished the Ararat quilt to a flimsy. I added a little different border to make it bed size.

Whoop! Whoop! 12.14.2018

I let the cat out of the bag! LOL and showed DD her Christmas quilt.

DD's spirit animal is an elephant and when I saw this tutorial from MSQC, I KNEW I had to make one for her.

So far this is what I have completed. I want to lengthen it so more borders will be needed!

Good thing Christmas is still one week (or so) away...

DO you know a hockey player?

I DO!

This stocking really challenged me. If he decides that he doesn't want it after the holidays - I just may cut it up and add it to the dog bed scraps...








pattern:

I roughly followed the MSQC stocking tutorial, found here. I traced the blade from one of DD's old CCM skates and made it the size to fit the stocking. I did use heavyweight interfacing to give the blade some 'ummmph'.

Whoop! Whoop! 12.7.2018

I finished the Quilt-lets, well ahead of the Thursday,
Dec. 13th deadline! These are wheelchair quilts-lets that will be donated to a local nursing home. They are approximately 36 x 36.

Quilt-let 1 is from a Oconomowoc Guild packet.

pattern info: none-just a bunch of 6.5 inch squares. I started it at the guild sew day and on the way home...some goofiness occurred! Now it's just a random pattern.

panto info: dazzle

Quilt-let 2 is from my NMU sewing weekend.

pattern info: half log cabin using 3.5 inch strips

WIP Quilt-lets 12.6.2018

I finished piecing the black and red wheelchair quilt tops aka quilt-lets. I elected to make another set of 8/16 blocks so I would be able to stick to the same color theme in each quilt-let.

The black with red accents quilt-let.

Weekend Sewing...

...I had an impromptu trip to Marquette, Michigan and NMU. I didn't have a lot scheduled so I packed up some sewing to do in the hotel room. This is the first time that I have done hotel sewing and it definitely won't be my last if the opportunity arises!

My view from the window. My room was overlooking US Highway 41-the major road here in the business side of town.

My sewing space-the converted business desk.

My cutting area-just moved the tv a bit.

My pressing area-the iron and board provided by hotel. The board was a little wobbly but oh my, the iron was HOT and stayed on.









The fruits of my labor:

A couple of star blocks

and

half log cabin blocks.
