WIP Wednesday #10

It's that time of the week again and although I don't always make it, I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced - it's her 1 year anniversary of WIP Linky posts - thanks Lee - a sterling job!!

We have had the mother of electrical and rain storms today - flash flooding, hail and lightning all over the place - it flooded the local community centre where I teach patchwork on wednesday evenings, so those who braved the rain came to my house to sew instead - it's still raining and the pool looks like it's about to overflow - and given the pool pump has seized (the man is coming out on Friday to either fix or replace it), we may be swimming in our beds!!  I'm also just a little concerned about my vegie patch - I was very happy about how things are growing out there, but the hail may have decimated it - I'll have a look tomorrow.

But, onwards and upwards....since the last time I reported on a WIP Wednesday, there has been some progress:

I made more hexies and cut out some 'plain' ones, so now I have 26 - I think another 14 or so and I can start putting them together with sashing - then a couple of borders and the top will be ready.  The hexies are hand pieced, but everything else will be done by machine.


I started and completely finished a quilt that will go into my shop (either at Etsy or Madeit)


Made a few more FWQA blocks (blogged about here)


I'm now over half way on these so that feels pretty good.

I finished a UFO (now in my Etsy shop)


I lined some pouches with my hand dyed fabric, and listed those in my Etsy shop

...and on the Long-arm side, I've quilted one very large charity quilt, a lap size client quilt and loaded a queen size client quilt ready for quuilting tomorrow.

Phew!!

To summarise:

Finished:

Whirleygig II quilt
Nest quilt
3 pouches

Quilts in Progress:

Blanket Box Hexies - total made, 26
4 FWQA - total made, 56

No action at all:

Class Sampler quilt - all blocks completed

UFOUFN's:

Psychedelic tartan - who knows??
Double diamonds - still needs something......
Which way to go - needs quilting
Dancing with the stars - needs quilting
Kimono mini - needs binding
Sashiko qayg - needs finishing!
Red and white challenge - needs properly starting

  6. The farmer's wife quilt along blocks are great. I just love that they are on point and have been enjoying seeing these popping up all over the place!

  7. I hope your veg patch has survived. Maybe you need to get a tarp cover for it for the rest of the hail season. Some run out to cover their cars, you can run out to cover the veg patch :)

    Great lot of progress. The FWQ blocks are my favourite of the lot.

  8. I had a fun time looking at your projects--wow! When you take a break you are really busy. Cute pouches and that's your own fabric? Impressive.

    The pinky-orange quilt is so beautiful. I lingered on that one, and really studied it. Simplicity really can contribute to a beautiful quilt. I may be hungry for something like that pattern after I finish my crazy Christmas blocks.

    Lovely post!

  17. I've not been brave enough to try more than blocks or strips with my quilts. The hex's look very difficult.
