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.

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.

Whoop! Whoop! 11.30.2018

My two Christmas tree skirts have been gifted and received.

One went to my nephew who purchased his first house December 2017. I didn't have time to create a tree skirt last year so I made it a priority this November.

The second Christmas Tree skirt went to my son. He recently moved into his own place and purchases a tree!

My son is a Red Wing fan so Red Wing fabric on the back!

WIP Wednesday 11.28.2018

I pieced together another wheelchair quilt top from the charity group. I arranged it on the table, sewed the rows and then transported it home for completion.






Somehow, I goofed up the arrangement with two lights together. I really am learning to love my design wall I have in the sewing room!

I also pieced a few string blocks and stars for my FB Quilt of Valor Stars block drive. This current drive ends 12.31.2018. They have only received a fraction of the goal so I will be making more blocks to send along.



I have six more cut that I can piece before starting in on my Christmas projects and hopefully, be able to sew a few more.

Whoop! Whoop! 11.17.2018

I quilted down 'HOCKEY IS LIFE'.  I learned quite a few things making this quilt. This is the first time I remember free piecing letters in the border.

I'm working on a hockey raffle basket quilt.

I put together the main portion of the quilt using a variety of 10 inch squares of hockey fabric along with 2.5 inch cut sashing and cornerstones.

I then thought it was a good idea to free piece words in the border. I'm currently working on 'HOCKEY IS LIFE', but I am having trouble with the 'K'. This is the third 'K' I've made and I think I just might go with it! LOL
