First Finish for 2009

Doing a happy dance here ..... I was able to finish the binding for the HUG QUILT tonight and that means I have finally finished something for 2009!!! I can remove it from my UFO/BOB list and add it to my completed quilts list. How cool is that?

The pictures are not the best as I can't figure out how to take photos to show the beautiful quilting Tirane did on this one. But here goes ...

not sure if you can see the butterflies in the quilting pictures but they are stunning. Thanks Tirane for the beautiful quilting on my quilts.

until next time ....

HUG Quilt Ready to be quilted!

Here it is - ready to be quilted. This is a scrappy Sister's Choice Quilt set on point. I still have alot to learn about setting triangles :o(

I have this ready to be sent out to Tirane to be quilted. Feels good to be able to use from my stash and those BOBs and create something special kinda quickly. I even have a piece of pretty blue floral to use as the backing for this one. Will not be piecing a backing as it is ready to go.
until next time ...

Sewing and Sorting and it's Snowing!!!

{Wanted to post and say that we are now getting SNOW!! Yes that white stuff that all the northern states don't want any more of. We are finally seeing some fall tonight and it's so pretty.}

Today I will be sewing and sorting!

Goals for today are ....
1. Trim those HSTs for Judy's Quiltalong -- these are now trimmed and waiting - I'm ready for the next step Judy (lol)

2. Work on a sewing project -- I pulled some blocks from a BOB

Made up a few more blocks and added setting triangles. I am going to try and turn into a HUG quilt for my aunt. :o)

Here is what I finish today. It is not fully assembled. Some are in rows but it is not all sewn together yet and needs backing too. Just wanted to share my progress. Should finish this in the morning before church.

3. Sort through my stuff and make progress on organizing my sewing area - made some progress but have been cleaning and sorting throughout the house instead of just in my sewing area. Not sure I will show pictures but maybe. I have made some major progress on sorting and cleaning in my sewing room today. I am proud of the amount I got done and how nice it looks. No photos of this though sorry.
until next time ....
