WIP Wednesday-- Still Plugging Away

I'm still plugging away on getting things worked on.

I am pleased with how the locker hook rug is coming along:

I got out the doll rugs to work on.  These go with the bedding sets that I am working on.   I am happy to be working on them again and hope to have some bedding sets made and up for sale in my etsy shop in the next few weeks.
While I was working though, the idea hit me to make a larger rug with the actual selvage strips.  There is a category at the state fair for creative uses of selvage.  I am thinking of making a full size rug to enter in next years fair.  I have divided up the selvage strips from the regular thin strips.

I started putting the Christmas yo-yo's together for the table topper.  That is moving along nicely working on them while I am out and about waiting on others.

 Last, but certainly not least, I put together 5 string quilt blocks using the rose with a touch of gold colors from the soscrappy blog scrap color challenge for September.  I love the way they came out.  I look forward to seeing what October's color will be.

WIP Wednesday--February Already

I don't have too much to report.  I'm still having a hard time getting back to my little daily schedule  after getting off of it.

Thursday is my day to work on other UFO's.  I did finish up the smaller pink 4 patch quilt for charity.

Friday I got out my coupon binder and pulled out all the expired coupons--which was all but a very few with no expiration date, instead of making yo-yo's.

Saturday I worked on cutting out coupons instead of working on my hexagon project.

Sunday I did actually work on a rug as scheduled.  I am in the process of stringing together the strips for the locker hook rug I am working on in rainbow colors.  It looks like a mess right now.  I hope to finished sewing up and get the strips cut apart this coming Sunday.

Monday is to work on the Arkansas Crossroads quilt.  I did get the fabric out and cut some more squares, but not many at all.  Some day I will have the squares cut to start making the blocks.

Tuesday is working on the doll bedding sets.  I did work some on one of the doll rugs, but mostly I worked on taking step by step pictures.  I want to try my hand at putting up a tutorial on thriftyfun on how to make them.

Here we are to Wednesday, which is my day to work on the soscrappy blog challenge color of the month.  I just looked and this month is brown.  Brown doesn't fit in my rainbow of colors, but I look forward to seeing what 4 patches and hexagons both that I can get made in brown this month.

WIP Wednesday 8/13/14

Hello all!
I feel like I've been pretty productive this week.
I finished the hexagon table topper.  I sewed up 3 of the lined fabric bags.

I worked on my green hexagons for the soscrappy challenge:

At sit n' sew at the quilt shop Friday night I got all of the lines sewn on the 34 hotpads and a start on pinning the wrap around binding.

Yesterday was sewing club at church.  I finished sewing the blocks in to 2 pieces but didn't have time to finish ironing those out.  My grandson, who you see in the picture, helped me do some of the ironing while I was sewing.  He's just learning how to sew.  (He used some of the pieces I didn't need and sewed together a Barbie blanket and 2 pillows and a pouch for them for her birthday today)

A took this picture of progress I was making on a start of a new toothbrush rug made with selvage and other thin strips of fabric.  It was looking so cute and the right size for a doll rug.  I ended up deciding that was what it was going to be and finished it after taking the picture.  I'm now working on 2 more of them for part of my birthday gifts to 3 granddaughters who all have birthdays this month.

So there you have it, my sewing week in review  :)
