Some folks missed the last notice - So posting here too - and Going off into Sewing room for

FLASH SEWING TIME!


Friday October 18 - Saturday Oct 19

6 pm to 6 pm Get Ready.......... Get Set............ GOOOOOOOOOOOOO


For new folks this is how it works

Post that you need motivation to GO sew something and What you want to try and work on

Try to get into your sewing room from 6 PM MST to 6 PM Saturday and SEW (clean up, reorganize)

Post back about 6 pm MST on Saturday what you really got accomplished

This helps motivate us all knowing us quilters sometimes need the extra motivation to just go DO it! Me too, I really need a big kick in the pants right now - So just knowing many will be going and sewing things helps!

I need to finish something that is already cut and only needs to be put together **this is 1st on my list**

Then sew some 4 patches, make 1/2 square triangles, I also would love to make another cute Fabric Box


What are you going to go in and try to get working on?

Good luck and hope many join in!

Debbie

*****POST can be found in the Sew Far Apart, Sew Together Thread**** Didn't want ppl to miss out this time :D

Ha! The rest of my fabric came in today for the Iron Quilter Contest so hopefully I can finish up some more of my blocks for that. I was sweating it out because everyone was out of what I wanted. Found some on ebay and bought the last 2.5 yards. :)

What I NEED are Elves! Sewing Elves! Whoever has them, send them right over. I will pay your price. Ransome... whatever.

I want to try to finish a Garden of Eden quilt top from Jenny's tutorial.

I'm finishing this Laura Ingalls Dress, and then working on organizing, building shelves, and wrapping comic boards.

Woo Hoo! Ok, I'm in. Got some more burp cloths to do and the silly goose quilt that I didn't get done last week. So, I am off to my sewing room to see what can get done tonight and tomorrow. Happy sewing everyone. :) I can hear those machines whirring.

I'm in....
Want to finish quilting a table runner. I'm motivated....will post outcomes.

Finished my top this evening. Woo Hoo

Since I just saw these two posts, I will start in the morning... Can 't wait! It's after 1am, now, so might sleep in a bit...

I got my backing sewn together...twice! First time I sewed the front to the back and had to make friends with my seam ripper. 4.5m of backing I had to rip...grrr

I am a little late because I didn´t see this thread yesterday until I was going to bed. It´s already Saturday morning here, but today I am going to finish the back of the quilt I am making for DH, he wants a pieced back.

I have a few more squares to make into blocks for the falling charms quilt I have laid out. Then need to get the blocks arranged and sew them together. A good project for today ,

Not this time ...errands to run and work...I have a nine hour shift today with a sore throat coming on....should be fun!

I'll join the fun as soon as I've had my coffee :)

I have a baby quilt to finish today. The little boy is soon to be born, so I need to get it done.

OK - I finished up the baby quilt. Now to have a bite to eat and then more sewing on my Iron Quilter top :)

Marebear, what a fun and happy quilt! You should be so proud to present this to that lucky mommy-to be.

I set out to work on some rag quilts. I thought I had finally killed my cheapo singer (it is the devil but the machine I have for now). It was being crazy like normal, and I thought it had finally broke, but my husband helped me straighten it out. I got a doll sized rag quilt done, and snipped. Now I just need to wash it.

Got the sewing room swept. Hunted high and low for 3 missing items.... found my "travel bag" for a quilting class and the sewing machine manual for my small machine. Could not find the box with the various feet for the old machine....think the new machine's feet are interchangeable. Hmmm...where could it be?

Worked some on trying some applique on a January wall hanging. My first real attempt at machine applique...so far, I am making progress. Maybe I can teach myself this skill...

Yeah!!! Thank you all, I know it helps to know others are dashing into their sewing rooms as we imagine sewing around the globe (no matter what your time difference 24 hours to get anything moving forward is the same 24 hours :-) This helps me sew much!!

Mary Love those cute little elephants in this what a great job on rotating them too and I like the FMQ. Happy quilt for a newborn, now the baby must come?

almost 2 hours left for me, only 4:30 ish -- ok 1 1/2 hours but I'm off the boards to see how much further can get done and take a few photo's

:icon_wave:

Got a good start then was interrupted. DD#2 came in and we had some shopping to do. After a wonderful lunch the only thing I could do was saw a few logs.. snoozing time!! So here is my accomplishment for the day.

Maybe I'll get a few more done after my tv show is over.

I accomplished a lot during the flash sewing time! I finished up the 6 flannel burp clothes and then I made the silly goose baby quilt and then 5 other burp clothes (these were made with diapers and flannel). DH even joined in for a bit while I was quilting the silly goose and cut up a whole bunch of 5" squares for some tablerunners I have orders for. Now, to figure out how to resize these pictures and get them up here.

I made a bunch of 1/2 square triangles and 8 more log cabins during my flash sewing period. Sorry I posted too late, but I just remembered. All of your projects look so nice.
