UFO's to complete by the end of 2012, Can I do It?


Building Houses from Scraps 


Well I have completely forgotten about these. I have about 30 of them done, then life got in the way! I have some major catching up to do with this. I really want to finish this by the end of the year like the plan says.  Anyone else doing these tiny houses?

So another UFO to knock off my list.



I am hoping by the end of the year to complete these UFO's.

  1. Crabapple quilt FMQ'ed, bound and given to my Dad.
  2. Bow-ties, top finished, FMQ'ed,  bound and used as a throw in my living room.
  3. Pink baby quilt, FMQ'ed, bound and possibly given to a baby at Christmas
  4. Baby boy I-spy quilt in camoe fabric, top made, FMQ'ed, bound and delivered to the new mom.
  5. Halloween quilt, Top finished, FMQ'ed, bound and put away for next Halloween. 
  6. Cousin's Queen Wedding quilt finished, FMQ'ed, bound and given.
  7. Building houses from scraps quilt, finish squares, complete top.

So now these are in writing for the whole world to see...LOL. I will get these done, not necessarily in this order.

I Spy a Quilt Finished!!!

Finally finished the I Spy quilt I started back before my shoulder surgery in December. I followed this Tutorial. It was a really cool way to make a really cute quilt. I started out with 6.5in blocks and cut them into 4 smaller blocks and use those to make the 9 patches.

366 House Quilt - AKA Leap Year Quilt

While looking through blogs the other day I ran across a sew along with Jeanneke at Building Houses from Scraps . All the information you need to do this sew along is there. Dont worry, she has all the posts in english. All the files are on the left hand side, just scroll down to the English one.

Here are the little blocks Ive been able to get done. Im behind by two...LOL


I have 4 blocks done of the New Years Eve Quilt I followed HERE . This one again is by Ann Smith.


I picked out these fabrics cause they were the only ones I had enough yardage of in my stash. Im not impressed with them, but my mom LOVES them. So perhaps a Birthday quilt for my mom...hmmmmmm.

I have also finished an I Spy quilt. I followed this Tutorial . I've only completed part of the Stitch in the Ditch. Been sewing it with my standard machine. Whew, how hard it is to get a quilt through its opening. I hope to have this completely finished soon.


Im continually working on Orca Bay by Bonnie Hunter , but Im so far behind. Ive been having trouble getting the QST's to the correct size. Ill just keep plugging along, eventually ill get it finished.

Thats where I am today!!

Tommorow I may work on making a cover for my sewing machine. This is a challenge in one of my swap groups. I really need a cover, so I am glad to see the challenge.
