WIP Wednesday - Week 12

5/4/2011

7 Comments

 
It is Wednesday again! Oh, and I have pictures this week!  Aren't you glad?  Anyways....I finally finished my Advent Calender Quilt!  Yippee!  I have been working on this quilt since September, and I'm tired of it!  You are only getting the sneak peak photo below, because my intention is to enter it in the Blogger's Quilt Festival next week, and I don't want to share everything ahead of time!  I am super glad to have this project finished, and look forward to putting it up until Christmas!

I have one new project this week, May's bag for the Style Stitches Sew-Along, and I'm getting this one finished up early this month (I promise!)

I have been making my muslin (practice to make sure it fits) tunic using the Lisette Portfolio pattern, and hope to get this baby finished by Thursday!  Wish me luck!

As a last little add in for my partner in the Pretty {Little} Pouch Swap, I made her a small little needle book, to store all her needles!  I have one just like it and use it every day!

I can't wait until you reveal the whole quilt! I'm sure you'll enjoy it this Christmas season. Your little needle book is adorable, I really like the flowers.

I didn't realize the Bloggers Quilt Fest was this weekend. It is always fun to visit all the blogs and see what everyone has done. Last time there were so many I could not even visit one quarter of them.
Your little needle book is sweet.

I love the binding you picked! Such a fun holiday print, I can't wait to see the whole thing :)

Oh, and holy moly, thanks for the Bloggers Quilt Festival reminder - I completely spaced out on that! Yikes, I better get sewing or writing or something! Hmm, I wonder how many spiderwebs I could churn out if I didn't sleep between now and then...tee-hee, just kidding! :)

Smart to save that for the quilt festival! I need to figure out what I'm doing. I love the binding on your Advent Calendar. Is this the tutorial from Sew Mama Sew by Elizabeth of Oh Fransson? I made that one, and I'm so happy with it.
