Update, update! UFO completed!

WOW!  It's been a long time since posting and A LOT had been going on.  in Sept 2013 I moved into a house with my mother in town... we both have our own sewing room but we share our stash of fabrics... 

I've been doing a lot of quilts and have gotten more into patchwork quilting then I ever thought I would!

I shall endeavour to post pics of some of these quilts along the way, but my most recent completed UFO is my sewing machine cover and instead of the planned over the arm pockets I made a pad with pockets for in front of the sewing machine to keep things within reach.

Here is a pic of them both:

Sweet Dreams quilt

I have finally completed this crib size quilt.  I had my mother layer the batting, top and backing and machine quilt  most of it and then add the binding.  That was before I came across a tutorial that made me realize I could do small quilts on my own kitchen table using painter's tape.

Once mom was done she returned the quilt for me to do the hand quilting around the angel and the words which are quilts with a cloud shape around them.

Sweet Dreams

This quilt will be travelling to my new Great Grand Nephew come Friday when I can make it to the PO.

Teen Crazy Quilt

This is the center block in the next crazy patchwork quilt that I am working on.

I had in mind the teens would like something like this.

Teen Crazy Quilt
center block

It will be bordered with the black and red stripe fabric... and then another border of the crazy patchwork.. and then an border border of the black and red stripe.

It will backed and binded with the colourful stripe fabric.

Crazy Patch Quilt Blocks

I have begun to make crazy patch blocks to be made into quilts!  These are the first 5 of 16 blue ones I made... Somehow I forgot to take pics of the rest of them

These plus a scrap pieced long enough for the binding have been taken over by my mother who has the table space to put them all together and pin them for the quilting.

We will be selling these at a couple of local Pow Wow's for really a fraction of  what they are worth but if we can recoup some funds we're happy.

Those that don't sell I will use my original plans of donating them to shelters and for its for the needy at Christmas Time.

These are the 16 blocks I've done up for the next Crazy Patch block quilt.  I will leave it up to my mother as to what blocks goes where, etc. These ones I added a few center patches that have fairies on them as they were already cut from a project I was going to use them on and didn't.

 

 These quilt blocks are all being made out of the drawers for scrap pieces of fabric that I have sorted into colours.  The next one will be in pinks!
