Slow Stitching Sunday

WIPs Be Gone Week 10

My crane block is now a pillow!  I finally just cut the flange on that cording to the right size and basted it around the block.

 The basting 1/4 "around the block beforehand came in handy to be sure to baste the cording just where it had to go. Then I sewed it with a zipper foot.

Made an envelope back to finish it.  Then I stuffed it with the pillow form which proved to be overstuffed.

I didn't like it that way. Fortunately this pillow form had a zipper and I took out some stuffing.

 Looks like a lot more than it is.  I was going to give this pillow to a friend, but my DH promptly claimed it for his reading chair.

Another WIP has reached the finish line!  Here's the one that will replace it.

I call this my Old Mother Dear Jane Hubbard.  Not sure about the setting of having all the 4 1/2" blocks around it. Maybe only on two sides. Still mulling it over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I will replace that blue one in top row - just doesn't seem to fit in.  So that means I'll have to make 2 more DJ blocks.

Lastly, here is my finished snack mat I made for a swap.  Another case of spontaneous construction - LOL.  Complete and ready for exchange after March 25th.  

How are you doing on your wips?Would love to see - doesn't have to be a finish, but we'll admire those, too.  Linky below - remember it doesn't have to be a new post, just one that shows a WIP.  Ends Monday, midnight.  Since I finished two items I'm linking to Richard's Link a Finish and Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?  Lots of eye candy there.

Good till March 21st

Jo-Ann's is having a 50% off on their entire stock of papercrafting supplies and tools and that includes:

This is a Fiskar hexagon punch. The sides measure 1" and work great for making English Paper Piecing pieces for making hexie quilts.  I got mine for $8.  Now I have the 3/4" one and this one above.  Woohoo!
