My 2019 Finishes

Oh, this is terrible. I can't believe I only finished 1 of my six goals for 2019.  So you know what I'll be doing in 2020 - those other 5 - lol.  You can see those here.  The one I did finish:

and the back:

 Let's go back and see what I did finish.

Made three applique blocks

Started a scrap quilt

Wasn't on my UFO list but it was one. Now all finished.

This top was started in 2016 and finished that same year. Just needed quilting. It's for a family member. The blocks were from Pat Sloan's BOW Winter Solstice to make Angela's RSC challenge of the same year. 

Sent a block to Lori of Humble Quilts:

Quilted a top for my DIL:

Started another EPP project:

Made a baby quilt for our neighbor:

Finished a wall hanging for Lori's String-Along:

Made two teeny quilts:

a 2 1/4" one block quilt.

a mug rug

a scissor case for our Guild's steal game:

and no, I didn't buy a round pot holder and sew it together.  Made from scratch. In reality then, I finished 5 quilts this year (if I count those teeny ones), started 2, and quilted a bunch - mostly charity quilts. I'll post those tomorrow.  Wherever you are, stay warm or cool, stay safe, and enjoy this Sixth Day of Christmas.

Friday Finish

Hey, I finished a quilt.

I put together this top a while back.  Two St. Anne's members designed it from scraps and gave it to me to quilt.  I sandwiched it and set it aside. Things got piled on top of it and I just discovered it last week when I was organizing the sewing room.  So now it's quilted and bound.

Here's the back.  A Noah's Ark print by Debbie Mumm for SSI.  Believe back in 2012.

Happy Third Day of Christmas!

Nearing Christmas

Nearing Christmas.  The weather has gotten chilly.  They predict rain for the rest of the week.  We'll see.  Christmas eve with friends and Christmas Day with family. What could be better - of course attending Mass to sing praise and Joy in the Birth of Emmanuel - God with us.

Quilting has slowed down as I worked to accomplish the season's decorating and baking. I did work a bit each day.  Here's is what I have so far:

This is a block from a quilt by Mark Lipinski in the McCalls Quick Quilts,  September 2005.  The colored print is actually a teal, but that's what I get taking a photo at night.  Ah, me.

I hope you are done with your preparations for Christmas, so you can sit down and start to gather yourself to enjoy the season.  Merry Christmas!

Haven't been Totally Stitchless

It's the time of the year that all plans get changed.  Ah, me.  So here's what I've been able to do in those little 15 minute sessions:

 Took two charm packs and came up with this HST baby quilt top.  It's small, so may be for the preemies.

This was another charm pack - I used the Super Easy Hour Glass tutorial by Jenny to make these squares. Each are now in the sew together the rows stage.   I have to finish this one by Thursday AM. Then it will go to another member of St. Anne's to finish.  Have a cute nursery flannel for the back.

What have you been up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll go see your post.  Off to do some Christmas cards. Blessings,
