Can I get a Whoop-Whoop?? Lazy Week....

Hi, all!


How did Friday get here so fast?  It seems like my week has just disappeared - probably because I've been a bit lazy!  But after wracking my brain, I did come up with a few finishes (or at least near finishes!) to post about!!  So here are my little finishes for the week....


I call this a small finish because I received this pieced top from Sharon this week, and all I had to do was quilt it!  Such a beautiful quilt - it was so windy today that I had a hard time getting a good picture, but it did give me an inspiration for the quilt's name - Geese On The Wind!  This quilt is for the quilt ministry - I'll be sharing more about it on Wednesday next week.


I also made this mini's - a placemat and two mug rugs - as samples for an open house we'll be having in November to introduce some new folks to quilting - although we're calling it "crafting"!  I need to make some more, but this is what I've done so far.  It's so much fun to just play with scraps - I love doing these!  I was definitely inspired by P. over at The Way I Sew It - she made so many pretty mini's this month!  If you haven't seen them, be sure to check them out!


Oh, and here's a great example of what happens if you don't keep your work area clean.....




No, that's not a shadow - somehow I managed to pick up an extra piece of fabric between the backing and the batting, and didn't notice it until I was pressing the binding down!  Guess I'll name this one Oops!!


So that's what I've been working on this week - I can see that I'm going to need to buckle down tomorrow and get some stuff done!  Oh well, I work best under pressure!!


So, now it's your turn!

What have you been working on this week?

Link up and share - 

We all want to see 

and

Give you a Whoop Whoop!!!

Hugs!

Sarah

  1. That is an "oops!" I've managed to quilt stray bits of fabric to the backs of a couple of quilts, but never between the backing and batting!

  2. Your 'oops' is actually a good teaching tool! and you aren't the only one to do it. Yes, P has lots of lovely mini's - I'm thinking of going 'small' nest year - back to some monthly minis and just baby quilts and more small cross stitch pieces. Look forward to Weds update.

  4. Love the geese quilt! And your minis are beautiful! So glad to have been a little inspiration. One of my "oops" moments was when I managed to put the backing of one of my minis wrong side out. I was halfway done quilting it and debated about letting it go as is. But I ultimately unpicked the stitching and started over the right way. Good thing it was only a small project!

  5. Thanks for sharing your "oops" - I love reading honest bloggers! You've inspired me to watch out for that a little better, haha. I've definitely done that before at some point! Also, the placemat is gorgeous, those fabrics work so well together.

  12. The quilt Sharon made is so lovely! Great name. I've done that with pieces getting into my quilt without me knowing. But it gives it more character.
