Priority- I am putting together a quilt to auction for my daughter's preschool in 2 weeks. Had each of the 65 kids sign on a fabric leaf in their sweet little preschool script, and am appliqueing them to a tree. Coming along!
It's Time Already- My Nicey Jane New Wave quilt top that I made in the summer (look, grass!) has finally got a back and is basted and waiting for some quilting love.
I'll Get There- As predicted, I finished my postage stamp quilt top in a frenzy, then nothing. But I have fabric for the back and will get moving on that soon.
On the Needles- I am feeling super duper-ly smart that I have figured out how to knit in the round on double pointed needles and a circular needle, with the help of You Tube. I am part way through a new hat. I don't think I will ever see the end of this monster sized ball of yarn.....
On Deck- once I clear the above off my plate, I am excited to get going on my daughter's Rainy Days and Mondays quilt, a FFA2 quilt using Kate's awesome new soon-to-be-released pattern for the other daughter, some quilt ideas for my box-o-Bliss, and I PROMISE....I am going to cut into some of my uber-stash of Anna Maria Horner. One pile, for starters. Baby steps ;)
Linking up with Lee and friends at Freshly Pieced's WIP Wednesday.
fun projects Kristie! the tree quilt is going to be super cute, what a fun idea. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your postage stamp quilt top! I have a jelly roll of that Hello Betty that I've never known what to do with. Yours looks fab!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tree quilt idea! I might have to borrow your idea for a gift for a kindergarten teacher!

Wow that tree is amazing. You're amazing! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your knitting looks amazing!!! And your tree is so cute, I love that idea. I love your New Wave top, can't wait to see how it turns out all done :)
ReplyDeleteYay, fun projects! The preschool tree idea is genius! I might have to steal that...
ReplyDeleteWhat did you decide for your Hello Betty Back? Mine is still languishing too.
Isn't Youtube the best for knitting tutorials? I love it. I was trying to figure out some stitch last week and I found the perfect video. So helpful!
Oh, I cannot wait to see the Rainy Days & Mondays quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is a great idea.
Wow! What an ambitious but fun thing to make for an auction. A great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink of the yarn. It looks so very soft. Way to go mastering those needles!
Love the tree and the leaves, such a fun thing to do. Now will you have your husband buy it for you at the auction or will you be able to let it go? It looks like it's going to be pretty cute ...
ReplyDeleteThe tree quilt is awesome!!! I love it. A smaller version would make a lovely wall hanging for an end of the year teacher gift. Super cute. Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteThe tree quilt is a brilliant idea. I may be using it for preschool end of school gifts. Certainly better than making two big quilts! And such a cute one.
ReplyDeletelove the linen you used as the neutral on your postage stamp quilt, that looks great!! Also loving your new wave quilt, that pattern is just so striking. great WIPs!
ReplyDeleteThat tree quilt is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeletesweet! Your tree looks just like 'Mandy's tree' - a keepsake commission I'm doing with a mom's baby sling fabrics. ; )

Isn't knitting in the round the best?!? :) Very excited to see more of the signature quilt, looks great so far!
ReplyDeleteI really like the oranges, teal, and browns in your postage stamp quilt!! And is that muslin as a background? It has so much texture! Great fun to see what you have been up to!
ReplyDeleteI love love love that quilt idea for your daughter's preschool! I will def. be stealing it for a similar purpose.
ReplyDeleteYour New Wave quilt reminds me that I have one "In Progress" - hmmm....maybe that will be my project for my quilting retreat next weekend (I CANNOT WAIT!).
Lovely idea with the tree
ReplyDeleteWow, busy lady!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! You are so generous!
I am loving all of your projects! Can't wait to see the finishes! Glad I found you on WIP Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteyou have a lot of great projects in the works! that tree quilt is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteOMG, the tree quilt with signed leaves is so cute! My daughter goes to a nature preschool, so this idea is FULL of possibilities for me, if you don't mind me borrowing it. : ) And of course, the rest of your post is packed with fabulousness as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday, have a great week!
