As usual, I find myself jumping from project to project, starting some, pushing others to my UFO piles, but thankfully managing to finish some, too. Here' s what I've been up to lately.
I started this baby quilt as part of our MQG challenge to make something quilted using orange, aqua, and gray. I'm glad I went with this wonky cross block, it was easy and fun to make and I've wanted to give it a try for quite some time.
I've also been making some Christmas stockings. Aren't they the sweetest? I'm using this fantastic tutorial by Fabricworm. I'm completely in love with these stockings and would highly recommend this free tutorial to anyone considering making Christmas stockings.
My biggest accomplishment this week, however, is finally finishing my Vintage Holiday quilt. Pictures of the finished quilt coming soon.
As you can see, my mind is totally skipping all the upcoming holidays and focuses exclusively on Christmas. Oh, I do love Christmas. Which reminds me, I'd better get moving on my FIL's quilt.
So far I have this ONE block made. Just 19 more to make and I'm ready to baste! ha!
Have a wonderful day. Svetlana
oh I especially love the wonky crosses!

ReplyDeleteYou really can't go wrong with a classic churn dash - I am working on some myself. Love the wonky crosses, too. They are both fun and addictive, I find!

ReplyDeleteI'll bet you have that whole quilt top done before a blink of an eye!
ReplyDeleteThe cross quilt looks amazing. The color combo is so fresh!
I know what you mean about WIPs multiplying like crazy. Here's a question for you: would you ever have someone long arm quilt one of your bigger quilts? I am seriously thinking about it. Usually the designs aren't something I like too much, but I've found a quilter who I really like her style, so I am thinking of doing it so I can get some WIPs done.
The cross quilt looks lovely! The blue and oranges are nice contrast to each other! I need to make some new stockings.. It would be nice to have some small patchwork style stocking for Christmas! :)
ReplyDeletei love those stockings! every year i get the itch to make some and never get it done with all of the other sewing i decide to do. ;) can you tell i am catching up on my reader?
