No quilt finishes this month. 🙁

Sidewalk with Blue Strip Blocks- I finished this quilt top back in July. Eleanor finished the binding.

Finished Bags and Small Projects for October

Very few small project finishes this month.

Projects Ready for Quilting / In the Quilting Process

Projects In the Finishing Process

I had to change this from “July Projects In the Finishing Process” to just “Projects In the Finishing Process”, because the projects might linger here for a few months.

The Handbag Sampler is back and I am working on the binding.

All the WIPs

WIPs are projects on which I am working. This means that I am past the cutting out of pieces stage,  some sewing has taken place.

  • Country Revival – I am well into piecing. I have done some trimming and have Flower #2 sewn together
  • Four Patch Fun – making blocks as leaders and enders
  • La Passacaglia – I am working on the border, but need to work more and harder
  • Pantone Project – it has been nearly a year (where does time go?) since I worked on this. I need to get back to it.
  • Patchwork Palooza – working on this week by week

Cut Out & Stopped

  • EPPic – This is all cut out and I have made tiny steps towards starting
  • Oxbow – SueS is organizing a Sew Day at her house in November to help us all finish our bags. I still have a bit of time to make some progress
  • Rose Petrillo bag – I found the pieces for this bag cut out, but not sewn.

Still UFOs

I still have UFOs. Who doesn’t, after all? A project in the ‘UFO’ category means I am stalled, it hasn’t been worked on in awhile or it is waiting its turn to be worked on. The list is a lot shorter and the projects are newer, for the most part.

I am annoyed that some of these are still UFOs. I have to give myself credit for completing some of them last year.

 

Thank you for reading!

Deena

I’m pleased to announce that you can now find Deena Farrah Art Quilts framed quilts, collage glass pieces and Christmas ornaments at The Little Art Shop in Benicia. Located in the Historic Tannery Building, The Little Art Shop features the creative works of more than 30 talented Bay Area artists.

From the website:

“Each of the displaying artists were hand-picked to represent their art form – a true cross-section of creators in glass, wood, metal, clay, mixed-media, encaustic, textiles, assemblage, fabrics and mosaics. We have graphic designers, photographers, upcyclers, jewelers, carvers, sculptors and painters of oil, acrylic and watercolor. These artists create both gifts that fit every budget and art that will grace the loftiest of living rooms. We are a collective tribe who love to bring our heart-felt works to the public. Plan a trip to the beautiful waterfront town of Benicia and plan on spending time in our one-of-a-kind gallery and gift shop.”
