I'm working on a Christmas quilt. Ho, Ho, Ho!!!!

I am surprisingly finishing up projects that are years old this summer. It is funny how they seem to go together quicker after years on the shelf half finished. I do make a list of projects to do only so I won't get too distracted and start even more projects!

Well, as always, I have about 50 projects in the works and am always adding to those with the wonderful ideas I find on all of these blogs!! But the one project that is taking priority is a queen sized quilt fory nephew's wedding at the end of the month. I'm at the point of putting blocks together in rows, so the put the rows together, borders on, quilt it and bind it. I can do this!!!!!

I am working on the pattern called Mochi with grays and colorful Cherrywood fabrics. This weekend at a retreat, the vendor had new fabric by Laundry Basket: Blue Barn. I would love to win the $50 certificate so I could buy a tower of it in cottons and batiks. Beautiful just like the designer!

My favorite summer time sewing is handwork of just about any kind. Right now my latest craze is wool applique. I also work on Christmas gifts over the summer months.

Quilt A Long's are fabulous, but yes, I get distracted and usually end up making items that I think will make a great gift for someone. It can range from pincushions, pillow cases, tote bags and my all time favorite are Table Runners! Right now I am working on a Double Wedding Ring (queen) and LOL there are diversions all of the time!

I am working on holiday placemats for my sister.

Just finished a king sized quilt for my granddaughters wedding on the 23rd. Just need to add the label and I'm done. Always have something "big" in the works but like the "little" diversions!

For my summer sewing I'm trying to get a few quilts finished. I've got two to bind and three to quilt and bind. And I've started two new quilts this last week. I usually don't do smaller projects unless one really calls my name.

I have a lot of hst bits that I'm making blocks to use for zipper bags.

I made my version from some Yellow Creek Civil war fabrics. I used my hex'n more ruler.

I'm still working on granddaughter's nursery - today will be curtains & crib mattress skirt.

I am making a quilt with Strawberry Fields Revisited this summer. Also, I do like diversion sewing. It is quick and usual easy. I am currently making placemats ala the Jolly Jabber using a charm pack and some extra fabric. Easy peasy!

I'm finally going to make a red and white quilt that has been on my bucket list for a very long time!

I am making a quilt for my new granddaughter, Halloween and Christmas pillowcases for three of my grandchildren and three Christmas stockings for the newest grandchildren. Oh, and I keep seeing the cute things you post - many of them are on my "want to try" list.

I am heading to a quilting retreat tomorrow and have been busy cutting fabric and also assembling some blocks. My Little Ruby triangles (using Kate Spain's Serenade and Bella Amelia Apricot) are ready to go up on the design wall as soon as I get there. I also have Melissa Corry's Summer Solstice QAL fabric cut and will start making my flying geese once I'm there. Those are only two of the 10 or 12 projects I am taking along. Can't wait! (Oh, I am also taking some pincushion projects for some hand work. Summer storms have knocked out the power before...)

I'm finishing up a green scrap quilt! I just dug into my green shelf and went for it, cutting hundreds of triangles. Amazing how the scraps never seem to deplete, though...even though the quilt is queen-sized, it didn't even make a dent in my green supply.

i'm spending my summer sewing twice a week with a group of ladies at the local vacuum/sewing machine store. 3 months of "dresses for Africa" popcorn,ice water. and sweet treats. did I mention the laughs? lots of laughs and great conversations. best fun I've had in a long time

I am working with my grandaughter on her T-shirt quilt and on my friend's birthday gift quilt and on another friend's birthday quilt and on some 4 patches for another quilt. It's a busy summer!

I quilt all year round, but I think little quick and easy projects are terrific for a sense of accomplishment. Small yet challenging projects are wonderful for inspiration! Right now I am fitting in several 10" heart blocks for the Pulse quilts.

Just returned from vacation in England and must get ready to start Christmas gifts. I love the bag you made. This may be the inspiration for some of the gifts. Taking care of grandson this week and going to the quilt shop as soon as it opens while he is at a summer fun school. Thanks for the great bag idea!

I'm trying to quilt my UFOs, but in between each I like to do small project (placemats, runners, etc.). The pincushion idea is inspiring. Thanks!

I am working on two different cotton and wool applique wall hangings. One is for Christmas and one is for fun. Plus a UFO for my son-in-law is waiting for some borders, and table topper for Christmas that's waiting for its binding to be finished.

Busy making lots of zipper pouches using fabrics from my stash and many different patterns. My sister requested zipper bags for her birthday, she'll be surprised. ;>) Not sure how many she'll end up with.

I am working on a wedding/Christmas quilt. She always wanted a green and red quilt to use at Christmas. Also trying to get started on a Lucy Boston, but mostly working on getting my 81 year old husband through a broken thigh bone. Six to eight weeks with no weight on that leg, and we live in a post WWII two story house.

I'm working on quilts for Christmas gifts - last year I made one for all of my brother's family - this year they are for my youngest sister and her family. I have 2 made so only one more to go - quilting them will take longer than making them!

I have a master prioritized list I'm working away at, regardless of season. Next up is an anniversary quilt, then an I-Spy for a December birthday. But quick & easy runners and such always sneak in there too!

I'm working on several small quilts using the Splendid Sampler patterns and The Village pattern. I like your diversion pin cushions and will make some os those. Like the idea of making different sizes.

I am working on a Farm Girl Vintage challenge -- using a twelve inch block and surrounding it with six inch blocks (Lori has a sample in her book). Also, I hope to start a paper pieced star quilt and finish up some UFOs. The list is never-ending. Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm finally making a quilt for me!
