\n

I skipped September, because I was sewing slowly due to the rotator cuff injury. I didn’t feel like I was making any progress. It was a good idea. I feel like I am back in the saddle.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Original Bullseye<\/a>: needs border, backing, quilting and binding, which are all hard to do if you can\u2019t find the project. It is lost. I know it is in there somewhere. As I mentioned, I did a test and found that my original idea didn\u2019t work. I think a plain border will set off the blocks fine IF I ever find the top. Bleah!<\/li>\n
  2. A-B-C (A-Z) BAMQG Challenge<\/a> \u2013 I finished all the blocks and a few extras. I have a total of 30 and they are all sashed. I have a couple to trim and may have done that by the time you read this, then I will make some decisions about sashing.<\/li>\n
  3. Aqua-Red Sampler<\/a> \u2013 Frances<\/a> contacted me about getting back in the saddle. We met yesterday! Hooray!<\/li>\n
  4. The Tarts Come to Tea<\/a>: I haven\u2019t quilted on this since April 2011. I need to work on the quilting. I was making good progress and then got sidetracked. Quilting the Whole Cloth quilt is getting me back in the swing of quilting, so perhaps there is hope for this piece.<\/li>\n
  5. Garden<\/a>: I started this piece in a class<\/a> with Pamela Allen in 2006. As mentioned, I used this piece for my beading demo for the 2012 EBHQ Voices in Cloth show (March 17), which means that I added some beads. I finished machine quilting this piece, removed some of the beads and have started to put beads back on to it. I think it might be done with the few beads I have put on it. I have to look at it and decide. If it is done, then I need to put a facing and sleeve on it.<\/li>\n
  6. Pointillist Palette #4: Fourth is a series of 6 quilts; needs tiny square patches sewn together. Mrs. K. gave me more PP fabric. I think it is a sign to work on this.<\/li>\n
  7. See<\/a>: needs satin stitching.<\/li>\n
  8. Self Portrait<\/a>: started in 2006 at a class at Quilting Adventures<\/a> in Richmond, Virginia. I like the piece, but don\u2019t know where to go from where I am. Mouth? Hair?<\/li>\n
  9. Spiderweb<\/a>: I woke up one morning thinking I would work on this project. I found that I had already designed the border blocks! Yay! I want to sort through the blocks and make sure I have  just enough to make a quilt for my bed. That means I will have extras. I could make a quilt that would cover my house with the number of blocks I have already made. Progress. Hooray!<\/li>\n
  10. Under the Sea<\/a>: class project; like the design, but not the colors much.<\/li>\n
  11. Flower Sugar Hexagon<\/a>: sewed more hexagons together. Sewing Y seams is a bit of a chore, so I get tired of doing it after awhile.<\/li>\n
  12. Young Man\u2019s t-shirt quilt: have cut up the t-shirts and am still in the process of applying fusible. He cleaned out his drawers and found some more t-shirts to add to the quilt. Oh Yay! <\u2013 just a bit of sarcasm<\/li>\n
  13. New: Super Secret Project<\/del>: top, back and binding made. Ready to go to the quilter.  Stay tuned. \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
  14. FOTY 2011<\/a><\/del>: at the quilter, needs binding.<\/li>\n
  15. Flowering Snowball<\/a><\/del>: Back from the quilter; need to hand stitch the binding.<\/li>\n
  16. Stepping Stones<\/del>: at the quilter, made binding, which she will sew on for me and then I need to stitch down the binding.<\/li>\n
  17. New: Wonky 9 Patch<\/del><\/a>: needs quilting and binding.<\/li>\n
  18. Corner Store<\/a><\/del>:  Top and back are made. It is ready to go to the quilter.<\/li>\n
  19. New Super Secret Project #2<\/del>: Top and back are made. It is ready to go to the quilter.<\/li>\n
  20. Infinity blocks<\/a><\/del>: blocks sewn together into a quilt top, borders on. Back and binding made; ready to go to quilter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Abandoned<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Flower Garden<\/a>: The flowers were too spiky. This is going to Pam for a cat bed.<\/li>\n
      2. Pineapple: will remake blocks at a later time with more care.<\/li>\n
      3. Moon and Stars: This quilt was barely a quilt and was not interesting. I realized I didn\u2019t want to devote time to it. So, I finally just decided to give up and get it off the list. I will send it to Pam<\/a> for a cat mat?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Hunting and Gathering<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Spin Wheel<\/a>: really not started, but supplies gathered. Cutting fabrics as I go. TFQ does not consider this a UFO, which is why I have moved it to the Hunting and Gathering section. She says, and I have to agree, that quilts are not \u2018projects\u2019 until the sewing starts. OK. I\u2019ll go with that.<\/li>\n
        2. Windmill quilt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          I am pretty pleased. I have 6 projects off the list and 8 with a definite plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
