Okay, I really did not do a stellar job this quarter with all the things on my list for Rhonda’s Finish Along. It all started so well, and then went downhill, ah well, such is life! (It’s not like I was sitting around with my feet up anyway ;o) )
Here was my list (which, incidentally, has not changed, finish wise, since I posted a few weeks ago, oops!)
- Finish my Stained Quilt for granny’s birthday – done!
- Get my rainbow road curves made into a laptop bag – computer says no…
- Turn my FPPFTT block 2 into something – done, it went into a bag for the sample swap at FQR
- Turn my FPPFTT block 3 into a messenger bag – I really wanted to get to this, but alas it sits at the end of the table and taunts me…
- Turn my FPPFTT block 5 into a cushion cover – done!
- Turn my FPPFTT block 6 into something – uh uh
- Finish that rainbow windmill cushion – ugh, no!
So 3 out of 7 completed there. Maybe next quarter I should be cunning and only post things I *have* to make – what do you think? ;o)
On to 3 for July then (I sat June out):
1. My frame purse for the frame purse swap. I started working on this last night, so fingers crossed that after some embroidery on the train this weekend I might have it done by the following weekend…
2. I really want to get cracking with My Precious, having had to put it to one side for more pressing projects, so I’ll try and see if I can get my bubbles made up:
3. I have a pencil case and a kindle cover requested by them down south, so I will have to work out what to use for them…
Looking forward to seeing that purse – and the others!
Your granny was very lucky to get that beautiful quilt Katy. It really shows the fabric off well!
Eeek I love your finished objects.
I have been practising inset circles today. Phew it was tough but the results are pretty good 😀
I love your Precious fabrics.
xxxx
Yeah! You finished three things!! (I'm ignoring the things you haven't finished and focusing on the positive!!)
Get that precious made, else I'll be sneaking round with a holdall to relieve you of the option!
Sometimes you just need to focus on what you have done and ignore what you haven't! Well that is currently my strategy anyway 🙂
Hope you get your embroidery sorted on the train.
Great things made and great things to come. Love your stained!!
What you did get done you done real good 🙂
You achieved finishes, well done.
I love the stained quilt!!
Looks like you'll be busy this month! Providing your feet aren't up that is =P
Computer says nooo…. classic! 😉
I still say you did pretty darn great for your ambitious list.
It's so not like you've been doing nothing- I'm thinking of all those 241 bags and purses with circles and bee blocks galore.. Your sewing machine must be running 24 7!
You finished more than me. I only put three things on my finish-a-long list and I finished none of them within the quarter lol!!!
Plenty to keep you out of trouble then? Jxo
Some times life gets in the way of sewing.I feel like that at the moment. 3 things finished is wonderful.
Hugs
Lovely finishes Katy. Particularly love the little Britain reference :o) I'm constantly amazed at how much you get done!
I think 3 finishes is brilliant, I finished 3 things too, so it must be good. I think that it is better to make a longer list as it seems that few of us finish all of it no matter what. I love your quilt and your pillow especially.
I still just love your stained quilt. So pretty.
Lovely stained quilt – that is enough sewing for the whole month.
