It has been a long, strange trip since the last time I posted my WIPs at Freshly Pieced. As such, I have been all-over-the-place with my projects. The semester is quickly coming to a close, so I'm hoping that I'll get some projects finished. Without further adieu, here is the short list of all the projects I have going on:
Something Not A Quilt aka The Dress MGO started
After re-drafting three pieces completely today, here is the latest mock-up of the dress (for the initial version that MGO did all by himself, click here)
It looks good-enough for me to cut out the 'real' dress tomorrow. Now I just have to make up my mind regarding the fabric :)
Quilts that Need the Binding Finished
Sadly, I have /two/ at this stage.
My 'Stripes' Quilt which I really need to get done, since it is a house-warming present that is um *cough, cough* two months overdue.
And my hand-pieced 'Broken Dishes' Quilt which my husband loves.
I can't wait to show everyone this finished project. I splurged on the no. 5 perle cotton I used and it just made all the colours pop more.
The Quilt I'm Quilting
I know the last time I posted, I said that this was the fourth project on my to-do list, but I still haven't decided how to quilt what was number 3, so I skipped to this one.
Hooking Project
Yes, I'm still working on this:
Because it is still not long enough for a twin-size bed.
Random Projects:
Or simply projects to distract me when I misplace the tools I need to complete other projects.
Like today, when I misplaced scotch tape /and/ tissue paper since you can't really draft patterns without either.
Or like Sunday, when MGO started working on the dress and my sewing table was cluttered.
Or like any other time, when I want to work and not think.
Hopefully, I'll have some finished projects to blog about in the near future; especially since the dress has to be done by Saturday :)

ReplyDeleteYou've got some serious projects going on here, Candace! Really great work. And no worries on the housewarming gift. Their house will still need to be warmed when you finish it!
ReplyDeletevery nice things you are working on.love the quilting on the pink quilt.
ReplyDelete:) I agree with Katie B. Especially since you're doing so much by hand! Wow! Take your time - they'll love it.
ReplyDeleteEverything on your list is so beautiful!
Especially liking your 'Broken Dishes' quilt!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so cute that your husband helped you drape :) Love the origami pinwheels - still have this on my wish list! Maybe this summer will provide some more time for me to actually hop to it :)
ReplyDeleteI think that dress looks great! I can't wait to see the real one!
