It's been a LONG time since I've posted a Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday post. I don't think I've completed anything else between then and now as far as quilting. That means that I really need to stay busy!
My finish today is a simple Bambi baby quilt. I used a storybook panel, cut out the pages, put the sashing between each one and made binding.
I bought a new sewing machine, so this is my first machine quilted quilt. I bought a walking foot to go with my machine. I'm very pleased so far.
This is also the first time I've tried hand sewing the binding complete as well.
Well....you know me, I never did make it back in to my craft room since my post last week.
I did work on some things outside of the room, just never what I would really like to get done.
I worked on knitting the prayer shawl for church. I had hopes of getting it done, but it didn't happen. Knitting, for me, takes so much longer than crocheting.
I guess I did get in to my craft room, because I did the machine quilting and made the binding for the baby quilt I am working on. I've taken it in the van with me a couple of times and have worked on sewing on the binding while I waited on others.
And, here we have day 298, October 24, of the granny a day challenge blanket I am working on. I tried to take the photo so that you could see the corner I have left to finish. 24 more squares needed (and the edging) for this to be finished, then I will start on the pillow for the rest of the 2012 squares. I'm still anxious to get this done and on our bed.
I am linking up with the following blogs:
Happy Wednesday! Time for WIP Wednesday in conjunction with Every Day Crochet.
Please click the button at the end of my post and join in on the fun. If you don't have a post, please stop by and check out what others are working on.
Your WIP's don't have to be crafts.....it can be a room you are remodeling, the book you are writing, garden work, just about anything!
I didn't get near done quilt wise that I wanted to. I did get my daughter's baby quilt cut, pinned, and the edges sewn. All that is left is to tie it. Otherwise I got very little of my scraps bought ironed to be cut.
The new rug I am making with sheets looks great so far. This is how far I got with what I had. I did find a sheet in my closet that I had previously cut curtains out of, so I will be able to work further on this rug. Otherwise, it waits until I get more quilting done to see what is left from backs. The other rug is made with t-shirts. I started with blue, then white, then when I was putting on the red I decided to do 3 more of each of those colors and market the rug for 4th of July. I have lots of t-shirts already cut to work with on rugs, so that is good.
Then we have the prayer shawl again. I should be able to finish this before next Wednesday...just a few more rows then putting on the fringe is all that is left.
