Friday Night Sew In—Update III

I finished quilting hubby’s B-day Quilt…

Excess has been trimmed too. Now it just needs binding and it will be ready to wash and wrap :)

Friday Night Sew In—Part II

I have been sewing away. I decided to work on hubby’s B-day quilt. I got it all pinned…

 

After pinning it I stopped to eat dinner and clean the kitchen. Thanks to Hubby we had BBQ chicken on the grill. It was yummy (should have taken a pic of that).

 

After eating I got busy quilting…

  As you can see I decided to stipple the quilt. I am outlining the stars and leaving the blue part unstippled. I am making good progress. Unfortunately, I really do not care for the way it is turning out, but feel like I have gone too far to rip it out :(

Maybe I will like it better when it is completed and washed.

Friday Night Sew In

 

Tonight I will be participating in the Friday Night Sew In. Right now I am trying to decide what to work on. I have several options. I could sandwich and start quilting hubby’s quilt. Work on my Round Robin blocks. Work on my Sew 2 Speak house blocks. I could also make binding and get it sewn to the front of my Recess quilt. Decisions, decision, decisions…

 

Tomorrow is the 3rd meeting for the Houston Modern Quilt Guild. I really need to have a project to work on tomorrow. So what I choose to do tonight will probably effect what I do tomorrow at the meeting.

Guess you will just have to check back to see what I decided on :)

Friday Night Sew In—Part 2

After finishing up my NEPTUNE I decided to figure out EXACTLY what I wanted to do with the VERNA and other supplies I purchased. After some thought this is what I came up with. The back is taped down and the quilt sandwich has been made. I just have to get the charms laid out the way I want them and spaced right. When that is done I will pin them down and quilt it.

So far I have 2 charm packs laid out…just another 1.5 to go :)
but now I have to call it a night.

FRIDAY NIGHT SEW IN & A FINISH

I got a head start on the FNSI. I managed to finish my NEPTUNE. It is all washed and ready to love.

 

Now I am trying to decide what else to do…

My next quilt project will be for the CGQC Spring Sewing Party. I am going to use my VERNA charm packs to make a charm quilt something like the following… Pattern and Quilt

For this quilt I will be using:

• several VERNA charms
• 1 full sized white sheet from Target (for the top background)
• 1 full sized yellow sheet from Target (for the back)
• Yardage of VERNA stripe fabric for the binding (ordered)

The yellow sheet doesn’t look as pretty in the picture as it is person. It is bright and beautiful, and matches the yellow in the VERNA perfectly! My camera was giving me issues and I couldn’t get a great shot.

Friday Night Sew IN

I will be joining Heidi and the other quilters for the Friday Night Sew In tonight. If you would like to join us, visit Heidi’s blog to sign up.

Tonight I will be finishing up my NEPTUNE Scruffy Quilt. I have the binding sewn to the front, and will be hand sewing it to the back to finish it. If I have any time left after that I will be getting my quilt fabric ready for the CGQC Spring Party coming up on February 27th. There will be a lot of prep work for the quilt I will be doing so I would like to get that out of the way, but 1st I have to make a little side trip to Joann’s Fabric store to get some thread, batting, and fusible web :)

Here is a picture of my NEPTUNE quilt as is…hopefully tomorrow morning there will be a picture of fresh out of the wash an dryer :)

 

I just have to say again how happy I am that I took this quilt apart and redid it. I AM SO LOVEING IT NOW! I know I say this about every quilt I finish, but this IS my FAVORITE one!

Round Robin Block & Friday Night Sew In…

This is what I was suppose to do last night during the Friday Night Sew In, but I for some reason I just couldn’t get myself motivated to do it. Instead I spent the evening on the couch with my wonderful family :) So today I decided I would get 1 block finished no matter what. Here it is…

There will be more to follow :)

Friday Night Sew In

I have my fabric out, and my iron turned on…I am going to work on my Round Robin blocks this evening. I was hoping to pin and quilt my Neptune Scruffy, but I am feeling a little under the weather today so I decided to keep it simple. I am going to make at least 2 Wonky Stars, but hope to get 4 done. What is everyone else working on?
