W.i.P. Wednesday

Thanks to a fun-filled, sew-till-you-fall-asleep quilting retreat last weekend, I have plenty to show for myself, which actually feels very very good. Mostly littles, but still . . .

Completed projects
Merry - Hubby's Christmas stocking may be late in coming, but worth the wait. I posted it here.

Sweet Heart purses - This project was timely and fun, a quick tutorial by Simple Things. So fun in fact, I made a second.

Open Wide Zippered Pouch - Again, after making my first . . .
I couldn't resist making another. Very fun indeed.


Mod Angles cushion - If this looks kind of familiar, it's because I made it with my Chicopee practice blocks from the tutorial I wrote back in October. The hst blocks were inspired by don't call me betsy's Double Flip HSTs tutorial.

Ongoing projects
Scrappy Trip Along - I'm SO excited I got my blocks all pieced into a top. The backing should arrive any day, so I hope to get quilting on this shortly.

Emerald mini/placemats - These two projects may have merged and become one. TBD. Meanwhile, I'm piecing blocks - 3 1/2", 6 1/2" and 9 1/2".
Wonky Cross blocks

x and + blocks {#xplusalong} - I managed to get 12 blocks done and have 12 more ready to stitch up.


Woodland cross-stitch sampler and Modern Crosses quilt - no progress.

Upcoming projects
* flannel pillow for grandgirl
* table topper for mom
* scrappy Metrolink
* Polaroid block projects

Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday.

  9. your heart purse gave me an idea to make one that is a small rectangle that I can fit my Iphone in - I never seem to have pockets large enough to stick my phone in as I have it in a protective case - I would like to make one so that when my pocket isn't big enough I could maybe sling this around my neck and carry it so I won't loose track of where I put it.

  26. If you will distinguish the spine surgery cost in Indiawith other western countries then you will find a large difference. India is the country providing minimum cost of spine surgery india.
