WIP Wednesday #6

Ok - I'll start off by saying that it should be #7 but since Freshly Pieced was overstressed and took last week off - WIP Wednesday, so did I..  No excuses..  I just did!  I'd love to say that I'm all caught up now but that would be Stretching it to say the least!!

So this is a recap of two weeks. 

Attended a Quilting Retreat with SVQG Sept. 16-18th!
Worked on the Pinks...  Going for 100 blocks which will make a lap quilt plus lots of extras.  I now have blocks in ALL stages of completion!  Some are just the 5" strips, Some are 4x4 blocks and even a few complete shown below!  I need to work on my picture taking as this is far brighter and prettier in person.

I continued working on the Bottled Rainbow  Project...  Began going through 'the stash' for fabrics! Such Fun!

Our guild had a Summer Challenge which by definition means I had ALL summer to complete this!  Well I started it Last Monday and presented it on Saturday!  Sometimes I do work better under pressure!  It was an 'all about me' quilt that asked that we present the following: 1) where are you from 2) who are you, 3) your favorite things/hobbies and 4) a special day(s) in your life!  I was overwhelmed with where to start but this is how it turned out.

few hobbies and favorite things :)

the kids! boys as baby and girls close to when I met them :)

And hiding inside - The Big Day!  Isn't he just the most handsome guy!!  :)

And then there's the new item - because I have NO control over my imagination finding new ideas I can't wait to try! I have personally NEVER met a Jelly Roll or Bali Pop that I didn't want to take home and play with!!  I came across this great YouTube video Jelly Roll 1600 quilt! and just couldn't pass up a chance to work with one of the Bali Pops in my stash...  Weekend is coming!!
