WIPs Be Gone Week 12

Week 12?!  Where is the time going?  I've realized that I'm getting confused at to which WIP is what number. So I'm going to construct a list so that I don't forget to work on one that I've said I would be working on.  If a WIP is done, you'll find it posted under the WIPs Be Gone tab.

1. Just take 2 BOM blocks and  Guild 2014 BOM blocks  - both combined to make "Two BOMs in One." DONE!

2.  Happy Scrappy Orphan Block Quilt Along.  DONE!


3.  Hexie Flower Quilt - long term project - happy to get a flower done now and then.




4.  Crane Block Pillow:  DONE!

5.  Jubilee Album Blocks - machine appliqued one; needle turned another - two more to go.

6.  Old Mother Dear Jane Hubbard wall hanging - still mulling over how to make the border.

7.  Hah!  there is no 7,

7. so the Bird of Paradise is here instead of being #8.

Glad I got that straightened out -LOL.

Progress this week?  All I can count is trying to figure out what to do about the Dear Jane blocks, and got nowhere. I did finish two charity quilts and designed another one for the Guild. Some progress there, but not on a WIP - darn.  I'll try to do better next week.

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 one item,  I'm linking to Richard's Link a Finish and Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?  Lots of eye candy there.

Some of This, Some of That

I made another B³quilt and used 2.5 yards. Donated another 3yds to guild so my numbers have grown a tad. YTD is now 26.79 yds out.  Slowly de-stashing.  Here's the quilt:

Nothing on my design wall as I was busy adapting  a Dewey's Dream block to a 30" preemie quilt for our local NICU.  You can get the pattern off my right sidebar after tomorrow.

A community member brought two quilts to give to the guild as she was downsizing. The first one was a blue and white churn dash made by a pioneer of a nearby town way back in the 1880s(?).  I suggested she  contact the museum in that town.  She did and they are thrilled that she is giving it to them.

The second quilt was a fundraiser for the Calvary Church in Rochester, NY in 1903.  Here's a block from it:

I asked Barbara Brackman, the quilt historian, for the name of this block, and she'd never seen one like it.  Thinks it might be a variation of the Maltese Cross.  I did some Google image searches and the closest I came to it was a Firefighter's emblem back east, so maybe the lady who designed the quilt had a fireman in her household. ??  I'm going to contact the historical society in Rochester and see if they want it.

Off to work on another charity quilt and a WIP - I'm going to have to make a list.  I'm getting confused as which WIP is what #.

LOL - blessings to you all and happy quilting.

Slow Sunday Stitching
