WIP Wednesday

Time for Work in Progress Wednesday!  I feel like I did pretty well around a busy schedule.

If you would like to participate in WIP Wednesday, or check out what others are doing, please click the button at the bottom of my post.

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; she leaves each WIP up until the following week. 

I've completed the sewing on the top of my strip quilt.  I've also updated my squidoo lens How To Make a Strip Quilt 

This is how far I've gotten on the prayer shawl.  They are always a slow process for me.  Some asked for more information on the project.  Here is the website the lady at my church used, including the pattern.  I'm not following the pattern as I am going lengthwise.  Also I am doing a row of single crochet, row of double crochet, row of single crochet, then starting over.  We were told the shawls are  crocheted in a pattern of 3 to represent God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  http://www.shawlministry.com/instructions.html 

And finally....I've waited a month to learn how to make a toothbrush rug.  Wouldn't you know it, I woke up sick to my stomach yesterday morning  :(  Our sewing club meets once a month, the second Tuesday from 10 am -3 pm.  We usually make quilts that we then send to the Good Samaritan home and to the Domestic Violence Center.  Yesterday was special, as one of the lady's showed us how to make rugs with toothbrushes.  After noon I was feeling a bit better, so I headed over just long enough to learn how to make them.

The first photo, I took when I got home...what I had gotten done while I was there.   The second photo shows what I added on last night, changing colors.

These take a lot more material than you can imagine, but are really neat and a lot of fun.

I am hoping that next Wednesday I can tell you the strip quilt is complete, and also that the rug is complete and that I've started on another one  :)

Have a great week!

WIP Wednesday 9/8/10

It's time for WIP (work in progress) Wednesday!

Rules: 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; She leaves each WIP up until the following week.Click the button at the end of my post to copy the code below Rosie's picture and paste it into your blog post so that others can follow too, and see the rest of the projects that are posted.

Each week I look forward to checking out the WIP's of others.  I find it very encouraging a motivating to participate.  It keeps me working as I should be.

Now, here are my WIP's for the week:

I have all of the strip squares sewn for my strip quilt.  I still have some of the squares to cut down, but I have sewn together 2 rows of the 7 I will have on the quilt.    I am building a How To Make a A Strip Quilt-Step-by-Step with Photos squidoo lens.  I hope you will right click and open it in a new window or tab, check it out, and let me know what you think.  It's continual until I get the quilt completed. 

My next work in progress is making headbands.  I have the pink one completed.  The next one will be made with the purple and I am trying a different pattern on it.  These go in with an order I am fulfilling.  These are being made on request.

Lastly, I have started on crocheting a prayer shawl for a program we do through my church.  As you can see, I barely have a start on it.

 Please click the button below to share your own WIP post, or just to check out the others that have been submitted for this week.
