WIP Wednesday #21
Little projects here and there but nothing BIG complete or worked on this week...
I started quilting the wedding present that I am working on and found that the backing wasn't laying flat so I un-pinned and re-pinned my 'sandwich' to make sure it was flat with no wrinkles... Have to say that 'un-pinning' is right up there with 'un-sewing' on my list of favorite things to do!! Augh! It's ready to go again and I plan to quilt it on Sunday!!
Over the past week I completed several blocks for the Comfort Quilts at my guild SVQG. Here are a couple of pictures.
 |
| 2-12"x12" finished size |
 |
| 9 of the 10-6"6" finished size |
Can't wait to see what they do with all the different blocks our members create!
The big reveal of our SVQG 2012 Mini Challenge Quilts is at a Pot Luck on Thursday evening! Can't wait :)
Here's another little peek at mine :)
MAY - TO DO!!- Still Plugging away....
Complete special wedding present (sorry no further information as it's a secret!)

WIP Wednesday #20
I have been concentrating on a special project for a dear
family friend so quilting has taken a backseat over this past week or
two. I have however completed my charity quilt for the next Souhegan Valley Quilters Guild fund
raiser. Each member of my guild was asked to make a mini quilt with the guidelines
being that the quilt must measure 16"x16", theme 'Love, Peace, Hope,"
and must contain Blue! Can't show you the quilt yet but here's a Sneak
Peek at the label.
Photo credit goes to my wonderful husband Eric!! Thanks Bud-E!!
Wish we were there!! :)
SVQG Quilt Reveal is May 17th... Pictures will follow!!
So, it's May 2nd and I'm going to plan this to be my 'catch-up' month. NO NEW PROJECTS!!
