WIP Wednesday -- Little Bits

I had plans to work on one of my UFO's from my list of 17 at sit n' sew Friday evening at the quilt shop.  Unfortunately, sit n' sew was cancelled due to the owner having the flu.  I wasn't good and didn't take it out and work on it at home anyway.

I did get my paper pieced stars sewn together for the quild challenge.  Now I'm working on how I'm going to do the backing.

Still plugging away on my 365 and making 3 yo-yo's each day.  Still wanting to start putting them together......still thinking I need to wait until they are all made.

Yesterday was sewing club day at church.  Rather than sewing together the blocks that were already made, I decided to start hand sewing more squares instead.  I will probably continue with this until I use up what is already cut of the squares.

I didn't do any work on the selvage toothbrush rug, but a friend gave me some more selvage to add to my bag.

I still want to get back to making the string block for the soscrappy blog challenge.  Maybe, just maybe I can get out my scraps and at least pull out for the color of the month......after clicking over to find out what the color is this month!

WIP Wednesday -- Yo-yo's and the Rug

I'm keeping up with my 365 so far so good with making 3 yo-yo's each day.  I'm itching to start putting together the valances and table runner, but need to wait until I have yo-yo's made from each of the different fabrics in my box.

I worked more on the selvage toothbrush rug

I have listed my 17 in 2017 on the right side here on my blog along with the button to the blog that is hosting the challenge.

If you care to see pictures of all 17 you can see those in my post from last week.

WIP Wednesday--A Week's Gone By Already?

It sure seems this past week has flown by.  Things are so busy around our house with so many things, including school starting today.  Oh my!
Well, I posted a tutorial with pictures of making this string block in purple over on blogborne, but never got to making a second one.  Purple is the color this month with the soscrappy blog.
You can find my blogborne post HERE if you are interested in checking it out.

Next I am working on putting together a tutorial post for making a jelly roll type quilt.  Here is my progress on it, this past week.  I only have it sewn down the first time, and ready to sew down the second time.

I was able to put on more of the yo-yo's on the table runner too this past week.

WIP Wednesday-- Home From the Mission Trip

It was an awesome trip.  I'm writing posts on mylot about different parts of the trip.

While on the train and while at the mission I was able to do SOME work on the blue and brown yo-yo table runner.  I have 10 more yo-yo's to make to have enough to finish it.  I must get busy and stay busy on it!
So many other projects that I also want to do!

I will also share with you the photos that I have shared so far from the trip in my mylot posts:

WIP Wednesday --Blue and Brown

Disgruntled as usual that I'm not getting in near the sewing/crafting time that I would like to have.  Such is life as I do have so many things online to do plus I do actually have a life away from the computer--yes, believe it or not!  LOL

I had a request this week for a yo-yo table runner made in blue and browns.  I've been trying to work on getting those yo-yo's made.  It is nice that I can work on them while clicking here on the computer.  I also took them with me when I took my daughter to the doctor.

Unfortunately, this is all I've worked on this week.  Well, that is after I finished the Queen Elsa crocheted doll for my previous review post.  I still need to get Princess Anna done before June.

Also unfortunately, I doubt I get any more orange done for the soscrappy blog challenge this month.

I'm not adding the blue and brown table runner to my UFO list since it's a request, but as you can see, my UFO list is not getting any shorter.

WIP Wednesday 5/20/15

All week I wanted to get my sewing machine out.  It didn't happen until last night!
I got to work on my fractured pineapple quilt again, which needs to be completed in time for the quilt show in July.   I will be working on trimming in my Needlers group today.  I will have a better picture next week.

I spent most of the week working on this rug.  It's just about finished so don't know why I didn't actually finish it!

Otherwise I got out my storage box for hexagons and yo-yo's and added in what I had made plus some from other bags.  I actually just ran across another bag of them in my sewing room so still have more completed to add to my box.  I'm anxious to actually start putting the misc. hexagons in to a larger quilt top.  Plus I'm wanting to start another yo-yo table topper.  Oh so many projects that I want to work on all at once!

I just looked today at the soscrappy blog to see what this month's scrappy color is. It's green.  I plan this evening to work on green 4 patches.

WIP Wednesday 5/13/15

Last week we were on vacation.  The only sewing I did was in the car while hubby drove us to Branson, and while he drove us back home later in the week.
I'm sure glad I didn't forget to take something along!  I did, however, forget to put a needle in my box.  We found the first store along the highway and stopped to buy me some.


I made7 more yo-yo's.  All of these needed to be added to my yo-yo/hexagon storage box:

And, I sewed up a total of 48 hexagons!  These too will be added to the storage box.

I have yet to check what this month's color is with the soscrappy blog, but will do that today.   I will try to get some things made for the color, but I also MUST get my fractured pineapple quilt worked on.   I will make that my goal to have those 2 things to show you next week.

Busy off and on with my sewing, but I did get some things worked on.

We had an afternoon movie at church on Sunday.  I always take something to work on while watching the movie.  This time I worked on yo-yo's.    This is what I got made in that time:

I got my challenge quilt done to the point of cutting away edge and sewing down the binding.  This has to be done to take to quilt guild Monday morning.

My son's birthday is next week and I've decided to make him an apron.  Last year I gave him BBQ tools so an apron is logical.  I only got all of the pieces cut out so far, but again, this has to be done this week.

I think it's been another good week for sewing.
I did finish the pink hexagon table topper and it's now listed in my etsy shop.
I have some work to do in my shop as many of my items have now expired.  Decisions on which ones will be re-listed and which will be moved to either zibbet or shophandmade.

I worked on my fractured pineapple quilt enough to get one border made and sewn on so that I could see what it's going to look like.

One last thing for the color yellow for the soscrappy challenge.  I got out my yellow 2 1/4 inch squares and ended up with 78 blocks.  I do still need to square them all up to 4 inches.

Lastly, I got back to work on my blue hexagon table topper that I had started last month......or was that January?  Anyway, I am a bit further than my picture as I have the back on now and have started hand sewing around the hexagons.

I got a small, and I do mean small, start on cleaning up my sewing/craft room.  I found myself in awe over how blessed I am that so many have thought of me to give me fabrics and such.  So blessed to have it available to me to work with.  So blessed that the Lord has given me the talents to use them.
