W.i.P. Wednesday

With a quilt finish last week, it was time to make some serious progress on some of the 'littles' on my list! Plus a new month has started, so time to reevaluate the to-do list!

Completed projects
Doodle Memory Game - I shared this sweet project from Happy Sew Lucky a few days ago and am really pleased how it turned out.

Lined drawstring bag - Needing a gift bag for Easter, Jeni Baker's pattern ("The Artist Bag") and Laurie Wisburn's bunny fabric were a perfect mix.

Pin Cushions - Remember The Pincushion Project? Well, all 30 are DONE. Thanks to my mom for filling them all, cutting ribbon, and rummaging through my grandma's button tin while I sewed and sewed. whew

Quilted mouse pad - Inspired by recent posts from Pixels to Patchwork and Maureen Cracknell Handmade, I whipped up this mouse pad one evening, with a Ruby Star Shining typewriter raw-edge appliqued onto a text-filled wonky log cabin block. Quick and easy and fun to use.

Ongoing projects
Persian Pickles table topper - My mom picked this project out of stitch magazine a while back. I got as far as getting the top accent piece stitched together.

April Lucky Star block - I've got the fabric chosen and cut for this month's "Black Hole Star" and one little segment pieced. This is going to be a colorful one!


Woodland cross-stitch sampler - Have gotten back to working on this a bit!

x and + blocks {#xplusalong} and Scrappy triangles - Have added to these stacks ever so slightly.

Upcoming projects
* SMQG nametag
* SMQG star challenge quilt
* April bee blocks
* pillow for grandgirl
* Polaroid block projects
