Completed projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #20: Little Pocket Pillowcase - This one was fun (the patchwork and the French seams) and frustrating (my wrong-size pillow, plus the bear). But it finished up pretty sweet, and you can read all about it here.
100 Quilts donation quilt - A kid-size quilt called "Sweet Baby Girlie".
Little Baby Bibs - These little drool bibs were a fun little baby gift.
*Picture-Perfect* Polaroid Block Swap blocks - Whew! While packages keep coming in, I finally finished my blocks. 115 ready to swap!
August do.Good Stitches blocks, August Always Bee Learning blocks, and August Modern Blocks Bee block - I really enjoyed making all of this month's blocks, all new patterns to me.
Ongoing projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #21: Sweet Memories Photo Frame - I hate to tell you how long it took me to get this far! But I have the two sides pieced, and one sashiko-d together! Reading ahead to step #6 on p. 98, I can't envision what the craft paper's purpose is, and can these pieces be cut like from a grocery bag? If someone can enlighten me, I'd sure appreciate it. Meanwhile, stay tuned. Hopefully I can pull this one off.
Improv log-cabin quilt - No progress unfortunately.
Upcoming projects
* more Zakka - only four more to go!
* a quilt to coordinate with my Christmas tree skirt
* scrappy Metrolink
* Plus quilt for my sister-in-law - I was mistaken; it's really a Modern Cross quilt using Susan Beal's pattern.
* EZ Dresden Challenge project - still hoping - at least I have wedges cut now!
Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday, guest hosted by Rebecca of Pieces and Cream.
