Purple Pansy Quilt-at least until I think of a better name!

I had this one all cut and ready to sew while on vacation in WY last October but instead helped my niece with her quilt.  I got the 9-patch blocks done and started on the snowball block during retreat in November and that was it for a while.  Now the blocks are all done and ready to assemble...

...and I got bonus triangles from the snowball blocks and made them into pinwheels...well, 3 pinwheels anyway!  (I still don't know what is up with the sideways picture.  Anyone know how to fix this?  The picture isn't like this on my computer.) 



PIGS stats!

Jill has asked another question about our PIGS(Projects in Grocery Sacks!) 

"Do you have a list of your PIGS and is it current? How many PIGS and UFOs do you have? What is your oldest and how old is it?"

I have a kinda, sorta list of some of my current projects.  I really need to get them all together in one spot so they "speak" to me more often!  I've never actually counted them but here are a few:

My Graham Cracker Quilt...I took this class from Nancy.  It needs a back and quilted and bound.

My quilt with no name that I did as a quilt along with The Old Red Barn Co.  Again, it needs a back, quilted and bound.  I was also thinking of taking it apart in half to make two smaller quilts...I guess that's what's holding me back from finishing it.(yeah...sure!)

(My couch is the cleanest place to lay these things out!)

My Stack N Whack wall hanging.  I need to tweak the borders yet and do the backing, quilting and binding thing...hmm...I see a pattern here...

Probably my oldest project would be a table cloth I started probably...at least 10 years ago.  I pieced together some blue/tan homespun, rounded the corners to make it oval, sewed lace on it and pieced a back for it...all I need to do is pin right sides together, turn it and finish it.  No pictures because I'm not really sure where it is.

There are plenty more!

A Doll Quilt and MORE Fabric!

Got the fabric I ordered from Favorite Fabrics today and a Joann's flyer too.  I have a gift card I got for Christmas and can't wait to use it!  I like to find the best sales before I use a gift card...get all I can out of it!

I got the pickle and green bean fabric for an elusive jar quilt that has been just an idea for longer than I can remember.  I've been collecting suitable fabrics for it for what seems like forever. 

The hay bale fabric...well, I couldn't resist!  I have no idea what I'll do with it yet but that seems to be the case with me in any fabric purchase!

I'm starting out the year in a small way. 

I completed one doll quilt this evening.  My guild donates them to the Toys For Tots program.  Every doll that is given out has a quilt to go with it.  I kinda/sorta set a goal of doing one a month, although this is probably the most elaborate one I'll do.  It's end scraps from a strip quilt I did...sometime...can't remember!  I think I posted about it here somewhere!  I'm too lazy to find it! 

Can you see where I was too lazy to pin?  And too lazy to unsew?!

The back of the quilt...sideways, I can't figure out how to turn the photo. 



UFO Storage

Jill has asked the question "How do you store your UFOs and PIGS separate from your fabric stash?"
Here is what I've started doing.  I got this plastic bin at Joann's when they were 50% off...and immediately wished I had gotten more.  These are great for going to retreats.  I took this one with three different UFO's(and I didn't get them finished so they are still UFO's!).  I keep the fabric(hopefully already cut!), the instructions and any special tools or thread or needles needed for the project. 

The one on the left is supposed to be for Christmas storage but that's not going to happen!  I got this one on sale also...at Joann's.  It was the only one left but I'm going to BOLO for more!

I just realized I am still using towels for curtains...I do have my priorities!
