Quarter 3 Finish-A-Long List

I managed to get quite a few things finished in quarter two but a few have had to be rolled forward into Quarter Three.  

And this week I really went through all my cupboards, drawers, boxes and such to unearth all sorts of things...so be warned it's a long list and not everything will be completed this Quarter and I'm ok with that.

First up my mosaic of my quilt projects  - some from before and some new additions!


The Quilts



Top Left and clockwise

1. Double Wedding Ring aka Hoopla Quilt; 2.  KLT applecore; 3. Alhambra quilt; 4. Bring Me Flowers; 5. Oakshott Christmas candy quiltlet; all rollover projects from last quarter.  

I made good progress with the first two recently and hope I can finish those this quarter. I am also hoping to make good progress on Alhambra this quarter.

I am adding 6. Britt's quilt, a top handstitched by a friend who passed on years ago at the age of 50 - it has taken me this long to be able to think about quilting it 7. a new Scraptastic Sampler;  8. Greek Cross baby quilt needs a bit more quilting and some bits need requilting; 
  

I don't need to finish any of these this quarter but will if I can.  I will be writing tutorials for the Scraptastic Sampler and sharing them during #ScraptasticTuesdays - starting on 9th August, which happens to be our link up day!  If you want to join in you will be most welcome.  


The Clothes 


Next I have been inspired by so many of you to take up dress making again.  I used to make clothes for myself back in the day when that was the cheap thing to do. 

I bought some patterns some time ago and they have been far down my previous FAL lists this year but now is the time to tackle these as I would like to make some clothes that really fit me well.  I would also like to dabble in altering patterns - something I used to do when the kids wanted strange dressing up costumes - combining features from different patterns.




12. Juniper trousers in Ink Washed Linen ; 13. Jasmine top in Park Life Leafscape and 14. Abacus Grow in charcoal; 15. Zinnia skirt in silk (I bought in India before we had children!!!) and 16. Burgundy silk; 17. Dahlia dress in viscose; 18. in Liberty Varuna wool; and 19. in wool paisley; 20. A-line skirt in grey fabric by Yoko Saito & Lecien; and 21. in Charleston Farmhouse Dahlia Leaf by Free Spirit; 22. Yoked dress in Bird fabric;  23. (middle photo) PJs; 24. (right photo) Knickers; 



The Knits



25. Crochet bag; 26. Rosebud Scarf; 27. Giant knit scarf; 

I can't even remember when I started these.  Time they were finished as they are not useful in the state they are now!

The Other

Thirdly here are a few smaller projects, some new, some old, to keep things interesting

The Siblings Together Quilts

I am currently taking a break from making quilts for Siblings Together this quarter but will be back to making more for the charity before the year.  

Just in case I finish all the above these are the quilts I have in hand to make for Siblings Together




40/41. Circles Quilt x2 ; 42/43/44. QAYG Tile quilt x3; 45. Superhero quilt;

I have never had this many projects on my list before, nor had such a variety of projects.  Wish me luck as I think I'm going to really need it!

  1. Not sure how many hours are in your day, but I wouldn't be able to finish this list in a year, let along three months! Maybe you live in some alternate universe or the twilight zone where time slows down..... Good luck

  6. I honestly don't think you need luck as you seem to be steaming on without it, but it would be mean not to say 'good luck' and mean it!!
