Two Finishes and Projects in Motion

 There has been a lot going on in my Hidey Hole lately.

Some things I'm really enjoying

and some... not so much.

The Christmas tree skirt I made for a

September wedding gift is finished!

 

 

 

This pattern is one I designed on EQ8. I'd make a couple

of small changes if I were to make this one again,

but I'm pleased with the finish.

 

 

Next, I found this border fabric a few years ago

in a quilt shop while traveling.

(I wish I could remember where!)

I wanted something fast to make and pulled out

the fabric, along with a wedge ruler.

These two table toppers are the result

of an afternoon of play.

 

 

 

 

They are the top and bottom of the border and each 

one is so different.

 

 

 

 

 

I appliqued a little fussy cut circle in the middle to

cover up the uneven join.

One of these I will keep and the other I will gift.

 

 

Next, one of my nieces is having a little girl

after having three boys,

so a very girly quilt is in order.

I started with the Kaffe piece and pulled

the pinks and turquoises to go with it.

I just love quilts made with triangles.

 

 

The colors are a bit off in this photo, but I like

where this is headed.

 Some tweaking still needs to be done and I may

add two more triangles to each row. 

The baby is due in October, so I have time.

 

Then there's this....

Each year I go to upstate NY with my sister in law

for "Quilt Camp".

There are six of us who attend.

Last year we decided to draw names and make a 

quilt for that person. 

Whose name we drew and the quilt we are making is a secret.

It was decided to use Cake Mix 3 and the layer cakes of our choice.

 

Let me just say.... I am not a Cake Mix kind of gal. 

Sewing all of these pages and then cutting and trimming

takes sooooo much longer than just strip piecing

and trimming the HST's.

It will get done, though!

I have until October to finish this one, too.

My goal is to have the top done in the next two weeks.

Hopefully, I'll have all of the papers removed by then!

:D

 

 

 

Happy Quilting!
