Thanks to Lee for hosting Work-in-Progress Wednesday so we can all link up and share the fun projects we've got going on. I missed it last week so I'm just going to pick up from where I left off.
Completed Projects:
Drunkard's path table runner - Made this for my mom just to see how difficult the block was. Used a walking foot to do zig-zaggy quilting in the gold fabric. I got halfway through before I realized this would have been the perfect opportunity to try out hand quilting. Owell! I love it and hopefully she will too :D
Kaleidoscope Quilt Along - Done! For now, anyways. I plan on removing the loose stitches I used to roll forward the backing as temporary binding, and then putting on real binding. But who knows when that will happen and I wanted it done so I could use it. Lucy and I are currently snuggled up in it all cozy-like.
New Projects:
Drunkard's Path Quilt Along - I bought my fabric and tested out Kate's tutorial to great success. Trying my hardest to work on other projects before getting started on this one.
Drunkard's path mug rug - I was going to make six coasters to go along with my mom's table runner, but should have started with bigger squares because 3.75in coasters would be a bit small, hehe. I let loose and starting improvising, ending up with a mug rug instead. Added a bit of brown only to feel like nothing about it popped, hence the turquoise sashing.
Ongoing Projects:
Engelbreit Quilt - top finished and ready for quilting.
Summer Sampler QAL - blocks all sashed and ready to be put on point
Across the Sea QAL - no progress. Another shining example of my jumping into a QAL all crazy excited and then losing steam as soon as it's time to assemble blocks into the top.
Warm Cool QAL - quilted and ready for binding. Here's a peek:
By no means are these the only projects I've started and not finished. However, if I can't think of them off the top of my head they aren't worth mentioning, plus I don't wanna spend anymore time on this post because it's not often I get a day off work and can sew in the daylight!

You've been busy! I really want to try hand quilting too, on something small of course, but always forget about it until it's too late!
ReplyDeleteI love your sneak peak of the warm/cool quilt! So pretty!! And I really didn't need another QAL to get into, but I am loving those drunkards path blocks....
ReplyDeleteOh my, all of your projects are gorgeous! I love the warm/cool quilt. Is that a dachshund snuggling on the quilt? We had 2 growing up, they are such sweet dogs.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of neat projects! I love your Drunkard's Path table runner and your Kaleidoscope quilt looks to be a hit with Lucy!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I did not need to know about the Drunkard's Path QA!! I like your table runner - a very good first try!
ReplyDeleteYour drunkard's path sashed in turquoise jumped out at me from the Linky party - I love it! And I adore your Kaleidoscope too. Good call on having a pre-binding snuggle - I totally would too with that cute furry friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your warm/cool & congrats on the drunkard's path - very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your projects and hope you feel better soon!

Love all your projects!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try the drunkard's path - yours is so cool!
I totally ran out of steam on the Across the Sea QAL too - I have only 3 blocks done!
