W.i.P. Wednesday

W.i.P. Wednesday rolls around pretty quick, doesn't it? While Hopscotch is at the quilter, it's all about some small projects for me - a nice breather, actually.

Completed projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #4: Sewing Kit {full post here} - This was a very fun little project, and I loved incorporating the blue shot cotton, as well as the variegated Aurifil.

Hollywood Boulevard table runner - {full post here}

DS Quilts Doll Quilt Swap project - A 17" scrappy DS Swoon one-block quilt. I went a little wacko with the thread and quilting decisions. A full post will be coming soon. I can't mail it for another week, so I'll enjoy it while it hangs out here at home.

Ongoing projects
Hopscotch - Now just waiting to get it back from the quilter.

Upcoming projects
* Quilt using my 4x5 blocks from rounds 1, 2, & 3
* Tutorial for pieced binding
* FAITH Circle Pouch Swap
* more Zakka - next up is a patchwork pencil case
* Solstice Stars quilt
* a quilt to coordinate with my Christmas tree skirt - On a Whim ??

Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday.

Finished

Over the last few days, I've been working on a table runner for my mom's friend. The pattern is "Hollywood Boulevard" by Atkinson Designs, made mostly of French General by Moda. I've used a few of Atkinson's patterns over the years, and find them meticulous and straight-forward.

This runner just seemed to call for some straight-line quilting and a solid coordinating binding to finish.

Hopefully, I'll be able to deliver this project in a few days.

Meanwhile, I anticipate working on several smallish projects this week, more than one under a tight deadline. I've been enjoying your many comments on Saturday's Quilting Modern post, hearing about techniques and projects that are challenging you. If you haven't already, do check out the post and enter the giveaway for a copy of Katie Pedersen and Jacquie Gering's new book, Quilting modern: techniques and projects for improvisational quilts. I've had a chance to look through it closer, and it really is terrific! Have a great day - I'll be back tonight to chose a random winner!

W.i.P. Wednesday

There's no newly completed projects to show for W.i.P. Wednesday today, but I'm content enough with my w.i.p.s that I don't really care. That actually feels kind of good.

Ongoing projects

Hopscotch - The top is pieced and has been delivered to my long-arm quilter. Pretty exciting stuff. 

Hollywood Boulevard table runner - In progress and coming right along! The pattern is by Atkinson Designs, and you may remember I made another runner using this pattern before Christmas. I've got one block done and two nearly. Already thinking ahead to quilting considerations.

Zakka Style Sew-Along project #4: Sewing Kit - Almost done. Once again, very fun.

MM Text Fabric Swap - This swap is unusual in that we're swapping 5"x10" pieces of text fabric. I got mine cut and mailed off.
