Just thought I'd share a few of my unfinished projects.  Sorry for those of you who MUST finish one thing before starting on another.  I start one thing while beginning, while in process or while finishing another!  Makes life interesting!!

 This is a baby sized quilt that I put together last week, no pattern from Joe the quilter (craftsy class). I still need to put a border on it.  this one will be for sale in my etsy shop.

 The pic to the left and the one below are the center portion of a "block of the month" quilt that I purchased from the Aurora quilt shop a couple years ago.  I still have about 4 blocks to finish, then can put the whole top together.  Love this one and will keep it.

The colors are just so beautiful!!  

 This is the front (left) and the back (right) of a baby quilt that I am gifting to someone - I better hurry up cuz the baby has already arrived!

This is a "fruit of the Spirit" wall hanging that my quilting group chose to do.  I still need to stitch down some of the lettering and flowers along the border, then I can sandwich and quilt it.  Everyone who made a quilt from this pattern chose such different color schemes that it's hard to believe they are all from the same pattern.  You may have spied one of these at the quilt show here in GI during the state fair!

This is a very bight little quilt that I put together on a whim - I'll finish it someday, but it's not high on the list at the moment.

Got the pattern for this one off the internet.  Originally it was made from a vintage tablecloth and has rick rack stitched into the blocks - I need to add a white border all around, then it will be ready to quilt - will post closeups then.

I went to a quilt guild last April or May (?) and purchased a pattern book by the guest speaker, went home, pulled out some fabric and this is what happened!  My idea was to add a few little blocks along the border.  I will quilt it soon and it will probably be for sale in my etsy shop.

 A table topper that we put together at my quilting club um....a couple of years ago.  I have it sandwiched, just need to quilt it.

This is a really pretty brown and mauve zig zag quilt that I really love and am going to keep ... for me!  I am putting some machine embroidery in the borders between all the zig zag rows.  I still need to finish the embroidery on two rows.  Maybe I'll get it done this year.  :)


I hope you enjoy seeing all my unfinished projects... now you may be wondering if these are truly ALL the ufp's in my sewing room.  Of course not!!!  Enjoy!

Mom's Christmas quilt

So, my Mom has tons of fabric. It only makes sense since she has been quilting for most of her life.  I returned this quilt to her this weekend, all quilted and bound. (see pics below)...then she informs me that she has Oh, say FIFTEEN quilt tops that need quilting.  Yes, you guessed it - she is trying to use up ALL her fabric while she can still sew.  Okay, well, I know that won't happen, but, really - fifteen quilts???

AND YES, I'm going to quilt them - probably ALL of them.  And while I'm quilting, she will be sewing....Hmmmm.  I think someone will be quite busy for awhile - especially since said someone likes to sew and quilt a few of her own quilts!!!

Mom's Christmas quilt is filled with feathered quilting, some I marked a spine or a circle to quilt feathers around, others were totally free motion with no marking at all.  Isn't it beautiful? (note, beautiful, not perfect).

 This is a pattern Mom got from Missouri Star Quilt Company's website.  They have tons of really good tutorials.  Then she added a few pieced blocks that she came up with I think?

 I love this little block in the corner.  I thought about it quite awhile before I came up with this one by combining two patterns - this was totally free motion, no marking. >>>>>>

 Do you like the quilting on the poinsettia?
<<<<<<<

This pattern was out of a book that has 1000 quilting ideas.  Um, I looked at most of them trying to find something feathery, yet different to put in this space.

And below, I decided to use the 2 borders as one and quilted feathers all around.  :)  Enjoy!
