Howdy everyone! It's Wednesday.Which means it's time to link up with Lee and check out other WIPs!
Now, I love Wednedays. Wednesdays are swimming lessons for Piper, which Nanna does, so I get a few hours to myself on Wednesday mornings. I usually go to the cafe and hang out. Sometimes I take hand-sewing, but today it was just me and my red notebook. I wrote a to-do-list for the week my husband was away and even though I had the best of intentions, I got very little done! So this is a pretty accurate list of my WIPs, in photo form.
But before we get started...look what I found walking outside today. Autumn leaves. WINTER IS COMING. (Miiiight be watching Game of Thrones during naptime...)
FINISHES
This is the Liberty quilt I made for new baby Matilda. The solids are Michael Miller Cotton Couture and I kept the layout deliberately casual.
I kept the quilting simple (on the diagonal) to keep it soft but nicely quilted.
The back is two large pieces of Liberty that was given to me by a family friend. I bound it in Liberty too, machine-stitching, so it would stay nice and secure for baby.
My wee label!
This is not the completed top, but this is the layout for the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild group quilt. I finished the top and handed it off to lovely Sel who will be quilting it this weekend! I am so excited for this one to be out of my sewing room. It is massive (112" square) and it was taking up all my mental and emotional space. So it is a good thing it is on to the next step. :)
You can see Sel and Ruby doing the organization of the blocks as we on the stairs hollered down instructions. Sounded like Battleship: "A1 to E4!"
I made a trivet for my husband to take to work to put his coffee cup on.
And he got one for his desk at home, too.
And - remember this quilt? My show quilt? I finally put the top together a while ago (two weeks? Three weeks?) and have had it folded on my shelf for ages.
Yesterday I added a skinny white border to make the blocks float and today I pressed it and pin basted it. Phew. Getting hard to pin-baste.
And here is the beginning of the quilting. The colors all have corresponding Aurifil colors coming! I swear!
WORKS IN PROGRESS
Me. 34 weeks. I'm so excited for this baby!
And all the other WIPs in my photo at the top of the page. :)
And now for some obligatory Piper photos. This was hanging out on the porch with my iPad...
And this was watching it like a pro. We love Peppa Pig!
That's it for my week. How about you? What are your WIPs? Link up with Lee and be sure to let us know! xx
