Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
After a nice break (thank you Amy for the coffee and klatch) I went back into the sewing room and found more WIP's. Yikes.....I found some that were buried. But so far, one table runner, got it sandwiched and ready quilt, a poster to be that needs some stitching before mounting (canvas pic to frame), two bags to be made up and a bunch of layer cakes and charms calling for attention.
Tomorrow is another day, right?

Amy, I think Fran needs to visit more often. Sounds as if you got many UFOs hidden for her to finish for YOU.
I only say that because she was picking on me. Now my head hurts.
Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Hello All! All this talk about squirreling and feeling overwhelmed has made me feel better! I have way too many quilts that are WIPs right now. Progress is being made though. I got my BILs sandwiched yesterday (after an extra trip to Wal-Mart for more safety pins). Got the templates for the musical notes all made and even started quilting. I got about 1/2 way through my first BOM I'm behind on and am hoping to spend the remainder of my night on it tonight. It's on Thursday, so wish me luck that I get caught up on it. I'm not even gonna start worrying about my other BOMs due Saturday (not even remotely started yet). Here's my Quiltsmas progress:
Music Quilt--sandwiched and hand-quilting!! :D
Binding Star--glaring at me from the corner. I'm glaring back, it's being contrary with its points.
Table Runner--waiting impatiently for my BIL to tell me my sis's kitchen table dimensions.
I Spy--14 of 72 QAYG blocks quilted. It knows it's my favorite right now and is pry preening to the other quilts.
Mom's--4 or 5? blocks complete. Buried somewhere just waiting to see light again.
Dad's--2? blocks complete. Same as Mom's.
One could say I'm a lil nervous about finishing. But then again, if I don't, presents will be made for next year almost a whole year ahead! LOL
Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Oh my -- I get busy for a day and y'all write four pages of posts! Squirrels, every one of you.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with too many WIPs. Going to do a little more appliqué and calm my nerves before sleep time. The day was a little too long for me here.

Ah, Sandy, you only tease those you like, right? Picking on you......never.:lol:

I finished the quilting and binding a Fall/Thanksgiving table runner for my DIL. And, finally, I was able to FMQ pebbles! They have been an obstacle ever since I started quilting. But I think they look pretty good - finally! Sorry the picture is so dark, but that was the only way I could get the pebbles to show.

I finished some bibs that I am giving to a neighbor who recently had her first child.

Remember the ugly child's quilt top? The border was originally just one black strip. I added another black and a white strip and put 4 patches in the corners. (The strips were honey buns, and they were NOT the same width - grrrrr!) I think the addition to the border balances all the other geometrics and the bold colors in the rest of the quilt. I still don't like it - but I think it looks better now.

Denise, sorry ouch but the shots are really not as bad as they sound.
I also have way to many ufos to many in process and 5 sitting there with binding ready to be sews to back. And 5 ready to quilt...I did get rid of 3 tops I did not like once pieced... Gave them to Mom for her humanitarian group to tie. She loves it when all her friends tell her what a good daughter I am.....if they only knew. Lol.
