WIP Wednesday --Wrapping Up February

I don't have much to share this week.  I've had some days of no sewing or crafting motivation--mostly due to just being so busy outside of the home, but I did get some things done.

I finished the 2nd pink 4 patch and delivered it to quilt guild to be given to an agency called First Call for Help.

I worked more on the brown colored hexagons.  I only got about 10 or 11 done throughout the week so chose not to take a picture.

I worked a tiny bit on one of the doll rugs while out and about since I carry that bag in my large purse.

I got out the brown little squares and started string sewing them together.  I will work this week to at least finish stringing, but hopefully more.  Only a few more days left for brown to be the challenge color with the soscrappy blog.

Last week at church there was a box of yarn donated to use to make prayer shawls.  I didn't mean to, but ended up being the one to take it home.  I was told a story based on the one that I am working on now.  I'm sure it was started to be a blanket, but I am going to finish it as a prayer shawl and offer it back to the man who donated the yarn first.   See, it was a project that his first wife had started and he's been hanging on to it for many years since.  She was murdered back in February of 1977.  I'm not sure if he will want it as a prayer shawl, but feel it's fitting that he should have it if he wants it.

WIP Wednesday 1/28/15

I didn't get the binding finished on the quilt that I posted a picture of last week.  I didn't choose to take another picture of it, but I plan to finish it before next Wednesday.

At quilt guild this week we had our annual work day for charity.  This year we made walker bags to donate to the physical therapy department at the hospital. I bought a couple home to finish.  This is one of them.




I worked some more on my blue hexagon table topper.  Blue is this months scrap challenge color with the so scrappy blog.  This month is almost over.  That means that I shouldn't just stop working on this table topper, unfortunately, I probably will put it aside.  And there you have the why to me having so many projects in the works!



Last week I posted how I had run out of the fabric strips I had prepared for my locker hook rug so that it was being put to the side for awhile.  It so happened that very day a lady in my stitch group had picked up some fabric strips from a free box.  She gave them to me.  Monday at quilt guild, another member who had read that I needed more gave me 2 more bags full!   I did indeed work more on the rug.  I had actually hoped to finish it by now, but I still have a ways to go.

Oh so many things to work on and so little time!
