QOV Flimsy

The Quilt Of Valor for my uncle is a flimsy!!!

It was a time consuming, challenging pattern at times as I probably re-sewed, picked out and re-sewed the same block about 20 times before I got the orientation correct. Just on the last row!! Maybe I should have quit for the day, but I convinced myself I could persevere, and I did! Finally!

On the frame now: quilt for my sister newly diagnosed with ALS:

Bag Swap

I recently joined a Bag Swap and this is the amazing package that I received from my swap partner:

 

I never even told her I LOVE hearts:

 

Or that I use a card holder:

 

I love everything I received!

Moving Along

I am working on several projects:

But first interrupted to "fix" my daughter's Nike bag and jeans:

I was actually pretty proud of myself for fixing the zipper in this bag. I had to take it completely apartment, place a new zipper, than sew it back together again

 

Also"fixed" the hole in her holy jeans: patch under hole.

 

 

Here's Amanda sporting a beanie I knitted many moons ago, perfect for chilly Chicago!

 

Quilt of Valor-got all 64 blocks done:

 

 

Just need to sew them into rows, hopefully tomorrow. It will look something like this:

I made the scraps from this project into hsts:

First 4.5 inch blocks:

 

Then scraps from those:

 

 

Then scraps from those:

I do not know what pattern for these, the opportunities are endless, but for sure at least one pinwheel quilt out of them.

I am really enjoying making this quilt, even tho it is labor intensive!

 

I also whipped this up for my sister recently diagnosed with ALS.

Bunch of 12.5 inch squares with fabrics representing some of her favorite things-golf, Angels, coffee,cooking, etc....

AND on the frame: my nephew's Duck quilt!

This WILL be quilted tomorrow, I can procrastinate no more!

In the meantime, also working on 4 other quilts for my goddaughter's 3 children! 2 completely with fabrics from my stash, one still in the brainstorming stage!

Easter weekend

Just working on a few projects:

Realized how grungy my ironing station was:

So hubby and I reupholstered it:

Finished another block for my Anniversary quilt:

 

15 more to go!

Also made progress on two other quilts in progress and loaded the ""Anaheim Ducks " quilt on the frame, ready to be quilted! And made my bff a "piggy" cosmetic case that I forgot to take a picture of.

 

That doesn't seem like a lot going on, but it has been a pretty productive couple of days!
