WIP Wednesday

Wednesday seems to have snuck up on me...and it's a busy Wednesday away from home today too.  I'm in between places so wanted to get my post in.

I finished the strip quilt.  I'm not happy about the pull because of the stretchy center piece, but it will be up for sale on my etsy soon all the same.  Maybe one of these days I will have learned all the tricks and such with quilting.

I managed to get the squares cut down for the quilt I am working on for sewing club at church.  Hopefully I can get them sewn together before we meet again.

 I did finish up the order for washcloths and dish scrubbies.  I'm working now on the baby hat order.  I only have one more ear to crochet and then to put it together.  Once I get that completed, I'm afraid that my rug has to yet be put off, as well as starting on new quilts.  I really need to get back to crocheting the double thick hotpads that I want to donate to the church fundraiser.  The sale is June 4 and that is right around the corner!

 I want to say thank you to the 3 blog owner who post WIP Wednesday linkys.  I am enjoying participating in all 3.   I hope you will click the buttons below and check out what others are doing, and maybe even add your own post as well.

 

WIP Wednesday 5/11/11

I always do have works in progress, as with most of you who read my blog.  I put all of those aside this past week to work on things for my daughter and the new baby.

Today's major WIP is cleaning the house and setting up for the baby shower....including still needing to bake the cupcakes.

Here are some baby booties I am attempting to make.  I am so very lost on the pattern.  It will be a miracle if they get made at all, let alone made before the baby is born.  Heather was in hopes they would work to go with Zelda's going home outfit.
I did a post on gather asking for help, which includes a link to the pattern.  If any of you are expert crocheters, please take a look at the pattern and tell me how to proceed!  Thanks!
Please Help Me With This Crochet Pattern!

I did complete the Minnie Mouse baby hat.  It turned out pretty cute, but sure won't fit much past newborn I don't expect.

And, after many hours, and major help from one of the lady's at church, this baby set if made.  I'm not happy with the booties, they were very hard to make and the instructions had to be read and re-read many times at a few points to figure out what to do.  I fully intend to NEVER make these again!  The bibs however, that's another story.  They are very simple and look good.   I had enough material left over to add a second matching bib to the set.  I also had enough material left over from the baby quilt I gave Heather for Christmas to throw in another bib.

That's it for my report this week....time to get back to cleaning.  Please click on each button below to join in any or all of the WIP Wednesday blog hops....and check out what others are working on as well.
