Quilting Update

With Detto gone I have been spending lots of time in my sewing room. 

I have spent time cleaning it and organizing it!

I even decided to work on some older projects that have been waiting around for me. 

Like this Braided Rug! It's getting bigger...

This is a photo of some of my nine patches that I have been doing daily. Lisa took a couple to use as examples for the upcoming Sewing Class!

I finished quilting this.Then I even made AND added the binding. 

I just didn't take a picture.

I decided to play around with some ideas on how I want to lay out this quilt...What do you think?

Lisa came over to make a skirt with me.And then I showed her how to make a sewing caddy. 

I really should post that tutorial.... Maybe tomorrow. 

Hugs, 

Lisa

Process Pledge Update & Quilted Hugs Update!

I have been up to a LOT of sewing and Quilting lately!

I have been able to get sooo much accomplished!

I just thought everyone would (of course) want to see my lil' fluffy - Jackson!

Here is what is on my design wall right now.

All I need to do is add these last borders.

(You cannot tell that they are not sewed on)

These are the quilt tops that I have finished so far! Last night I pinned three of them so I can start quilting them!

Yippy!

I have several on each hanger.

I have made a total of 10 new quilt tops!

Hoot Hoot!

GO LISA!!

This is the quilt that I am working on quilting!

I finished quilting it today and now all I need to do is add the binding!

In my "spare time" I am making this scrap rug. These are made out of old clothes and sheets.

If there is any interest in a tutorial I will make one.

Just leave a comment and let me know.

Scrap Quilt!!

I think quilters around the world have caught the "Scrap Quilt Fever"! Some of this may be new or some of us may have been secret scrap collectors and are just now coming clean!!

I have been working on my postage stamp quilt for over a year!! I have been cutting my scraps into 2" squares and sewing them together! I use them as leaders and enders of all of my other projects so it has been a slow, but steady project. For you non-quilters: leaders and enders means.... when I finish sewing two pieces of fabric together I stick some of my two inch squares under the needle instead of pulling all that thread out and cutting it = waisting thread!! I only waste aprox 1/4 in. of thread between blocks!! Yeah!!

I went ahead and laid out all of my blocks to see how far I was getting... I was shocked at how many I had!! I stopped laying them out when I ran out of room in my sewing room!! I think this quilt is going to turn out so good!!

I have been working on LOTS of Swaps!! Here are some of the blocks that I am working on!

I have signed up for a few more swaps!! I love getting squishy's in the mail!! aka... packages with fabric in them... get it they are squishy!! I have been working ALOT on applique'! Who knew it was so easy?

My next project is this!! A RAG RUG!! I have enlisted my kids! We are going to braid one rug and then I am going to try and crochet a rug!! We will see how they turn out! I need rugs for the garage anyways so even if they turn out horrible I will still be able to use them in the garage!! If they turn out GREAT (which I hope they do) I will be making some "extra's"!! I cant wait to get started!! I have all of these clothes that dont fit me anymore and some of them arent "pass on" worthy!! So I will Re-Purpose them!! Yeah!!

These are some of my inspirations!!
