FAL round up

Well another three months have gone....and it is time to own up to how far down the Finish Along list I have got.   Not too shabby given the length of the list I'd say....


Finish Along 2014



Friendship's Garden Quilt - finished!  It only took me 9 years!




Stingy Plus Quilt - finished with help from the fabulous members of Bee A Brit Stingy






Love Heart Quilt - finished!  Pattern from V & Co and red/pink fabrics from the ruby Oakshott bundle and Helen.  This one belongs to my youngest daughter...





Sibling's Together 1 & 2 - both finished and handed over at Fat Quarterly Retreat - helped by the marvellous generosity of Moda and Becca at Sew Me A Song and the talents of the Sibling's Together Quilting Bee - thanks ladies!





Swap Baskets for FQR - finished and swapped





So that was the good news!


I have four UFO's to rollover till next time

Tulip Dance - no progress




Vintage Circles - no progress




Sewing Words - no real progress here





Hexy Big Balls - almost finished piecing the backing 




And here are the four new projects I started this quarter but have yet to finish

Blueberry Park Chevrons - lots of progress 

From this 




To this....



Using a mix of manufactured fabric and those special ones printed by my lovely friend and bee mate Karen!  Chevrons cut by my Sizzix machine.


Clamshells - lots of progress - from these few ...



To this ...





Again cut with the Sizzix machine - thinking of making it bigger yet!
Christmas - now named Nordik Quilt - loads of progress

One of my early blocks...



To this....


Loads of help received from my fabulous Stingy Bee friends again - they are the best! Flowering Snowball, inspired by Mary Dugan, went from this plan on EQ6 and an order of Oakshott





To this - an almost finished quilt top - and I have been challenged by my Lazy Bum mate Lizzie to finish the top in October!




Lots still to do - well you didn't really think I'd finish that list.....did you?

  1. I still think you did well at the finishing. Not so well at the not starting anything new but then I don't suppose that was on your list, was it?!

  9. You are so productive! I can't believe how much you've completed, and such big projects too, it's not like they were little zippy bags or bookmarks or something!

  10. Wow, you must never, ever sleep!! I want you to know that you are entirely responsible for the state of my dining room after your last post. I have started not one, but two scrap quilts because I couldn't make my mind up which to do first. Well, you and Pinterest!!

  11. I'm coming to the conclusion that you have an internal challenge to have one project of your own for each other person's on the list ;o)
