WIP Wednesday 10/19/11--Keep on Working

I've still been working this past week on the dish scrubbies.  Just one more to make to complete my orders.  I've also been crocheting the washclothes for an order.
We had a garage sale so I went in to my craft room and emptied my shelves of supplies into totes and boxes.  I wanted the shelves in the garage to hold the books that I have for sale.  In the meantime I packed up a container with "to-do" projects.  It's pictured with the washcloths I am working on and includes 3 fabric bags to make, baby bibs, pieces for another quilt top for church, material to cut in to strips for my next jelly roll type quilt, and material to make a table runner.

I spent 2 days this past week finishing up the 54 squares for the quilt top I am currently working on for church.  If you remember, we had 13 of them complete last week in club.  That means I put together 41 more at home.  They aren't complete as they still need to be ironed and cut to size before I can start sewing them together.  For now they are put up with plans to work more on them at club next month.

 Looks that is my report for this week....I really want to finish up the last 4 washcloths today as well as the 1 dish scrubbie and get those orders out.

I am linking up with the following blogs:

WIP Wednesday

It's Wednesday and time to share my works in progress!

Want to share your works in progress and join in the fun, just click the button at the bottom of my post to go to Every Day Crochet blog, grab the button and make your post.  It's a lot of fun looking at everyone else's WIP's each week and get inspired to keep working.


To play along on Work-in-Progress Wednesday, make your blog post for Wednesday be about something you're working on - some type of craft, renovation project, landscaping, even that novel you're writing. You can play along even if it’s not Wednesday; I leave each WIP up until the following week.

I did finish the Barbie Bedding Sets.  Please click here to see the photo of the finished product.

In this photo, you see the "mess" I started with as I started to work on the strip quilt (and 2 pillows):

In this 2nd photo you will see what I got accomplished so far:    2 pillows that are done except sewing the ends shut, 5 completed strip squares, 2 strip squares that are ready to be ironed and cut, and 9 squares that have the first 2 strips pinned on to get them started.

In the 3rd photo:   I thought I was done with what I would get done before doing this post but......I ended up cutting more of the 12 inch squares from another fleece blanket.  I found that I am 7 squares short of what I need to have enough squares.  I then pinned the first 2 strips to all the newly cut squares.  I saved out the lengths I need for the 7 squares I am short.  And, I cut more strips.

I would like to say this quilt will be done by next week, but I know better.  I've spent a lot more time sewing this past 3 days than have in a very long time.
