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.

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

I finished piecing my HOT MESS into a flimsy. Not too sure that I like the top and bottom border treatment.  I'm trying to decide if I should rip and change it around a bit...place all the 6 inch squares together on the top border and I still have red/blue checkerboard that I would be able to use as the bottom border.

Still thinking it over...

On My Design Wall 10.23.2018

I'm zero-ing in on completing the blocks for the Ben Franklin Quilt Club - Block of the Month.

The WERE suppose to be based on 3-6-9-12-15 inch blocks so that they would all join together. Well, as you might be able to tell, my block sizes are all over the board! I must have mis-cut and mis-sewed my pieces together! I think it's looking like a HOT MESS!

Wish me well in sashing and fudging the blocks so it all fits together. This ONE has really tested me on many different levels.

My HOT MESS, in all its glory!  lol
