Wednesday Wait Loss 482

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed by the actual link up where you can share a photo of your current project. If you are new to linking up, I have a separate page that steps you through the whole process.

What I've been up to

I shipped out a huge order of Broken Road patterns for my upcoming quilting cruise with Stitchin’ Heaven. It’s not to late to join us as we sail the Western Caribbean with Royal Caribbean.

I recorded the intro for my tutorial videos on Hep Cat, the final block in my Vintage Halloween BOM. I’m so happy with how he turned out!

I ended my week by creating a new block for Quilt Block Mania. The theme is Art. I’ll leave you to guess what I might have designed. The block debuts here on Tuesday.

And that was my week!

Now let’s see who made this week’s feature

Let’s see what caught my eye this week.

Up first is Alycia @ Quilty Girl shared her Star and Crown top. Alycia is stopping for now on this project until she decides on her borders. Although it’s unfinished, isn’t her quilt wonderful?

Next, Rebecca @ Rebecca Grace shared her progress on Stonefields. Always so precise and neat, Rebecca’s blocks are such a joy to look at!

And finally, Nann @ With Strings Attached shared her latest from the 6 Quilts in 6 Weeks challenge. Nann is calling this one Jolie Afrique. Don’t you just love those fabrics?

Wednesday Wait Loss 481

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

What I've been up to

This week has been hard and I haven’t gotten a lot of work done. In March we had to replace our furnace. Then last week, the water heater gave up. A few days later we noticed some water and after investigating, it was determined that the water softener was also kaput.

We immediately went into the remediation phase, with a company placing fans, a dehumidifier, and an air scrubber in the hallway to dry things out and remove any mold from the air. That part is over at least. Boy those fans were loud!

Soon we’ll get an estimate for the next phase—restoration—where everything will be restored. On the plus side, although the water got into the closet of my video studio, none of my quilts or fabric was hurt. I may have lost a few things, but nothing too important.

I finished recording a tutorial on a patriotic mini quilt that I’ll be presenting in an upcoming online seminar in June. I had to record what I could in the studio before the fans were installed, then record the rest upstairs in my office but I got it done!

I love how it turned out.

Later, I recorded the tutorial for the next block in my Vintage Halloween BOM. I still need to make the Double-size version of the block then record the Intro but at least I’ve made some good progress!

And that was my week!

Now let’s see who made this week’s feature

Let’s see what caught my eye this week.

Up first is Gretchen @ Gretchen’s Little Corner who shared these Carolina Lillies blocks. Aren’t they beautiful? What a pretty quilt they’ll make.

Next, Margo @ MY Quilts and Crafts shared two baby quilts she made recently for friends. I love how delightfully different they are from each other. And so pretty!

And finally, Preeti @ Sew Preeti Quilts shared her new quilt, Polite Society, and some red RSC blocks. I love the cool simplicity of Polite Society, but those RSC blocks just knock me out! Aren’t they cool?

What I've been up to

Thank you for the birthday wishes last week. They really made my day. The celebration continued over the weekend, when my daughter came to visit. We did some clothes shopping for me, some gaming, some movie watching, and some dining out. It was such a great weekend!

I worked some more on fabric folding and organizing my new shelves. I’ve now gotten all my print fabric from my downstairs video studio moved upstairs, and sorted by color. I’ve also moved my collection of Tula Pink fabrics upstairs—you can see it on the top right.

Now I want to move themed prints that are sorted into collections like Christmas, Halloween, quilting, and so on up here near my sewing machine. Downstairs in the video studio I’ll keep my extensive collection of Island Batiks and other batiks I’ve bought over the years.

I finished designing a flag block for a patriotic mini quilt. I’ll be hosting a tutorial with free pattern during an upcoming seminar to be held in June. Watch for more details coming soon on how to sign up for free for this fantastic fun-filled seminar!

And that was my week!

Now let’s see who made this week’s feature

Let’s see what caught my eye this week.

Up first is Nancy @ Grace and Peace Quilting who shared two charity quilts. In order to bust her stash, Nancy is using the RSC color prompt each month to make charity quilts. What a great idea!

Next, Diann @ Little Penguin Quilts shared several projects, including her blocks from the Little House on the Prairie SAL. Don’t you just love her fabrics? So perfect for fall.

And finally, Karen @ Quilts Etc shared several projects too, including her RSC Flowering Snowball blocks. I’ve shared these before, but I had to share how much I love the mix of dark and light blocks. This is really coming together well! Love it.

Wednesday Wait Loss 479

What I've been up to

First, I should mention that today is my birthday! Happy birthday to me. 🎂

My husband is taking me out for lunch and making me a nice steak dinner tonight. He makes steaks so perfect, there’s no reason to go to a fancy place to have one. They never taste as good as his.

And for dessert, my favorite—lemon poppyseed. Simple recipe but oh soooooo good!

Last week I finished an Indy 500 pin banner for my daughter. We’re big fans of the Indy 500 and go every year. Last year my daughter decided to start collecting pins, starting with the year she was born. Some she has are even older.

She already has 42 pins with plans to collect more so I knew I needed to make sure she had room to grow. Together we decided on 6 across and 11 down (for the 11 rows of cars at the start of the race.) I had brick fabric so of course I needed to add the “yard of bricks.” At the top I added the famous pagoda.

I put the banner in her Easter basket and she was thrilled! She went home after and immediately arranged her pins on it. She told me that she’s keeping the pagoda and yard of bricks spaces for real special pins she wants to feature.

Yesterday my newest Quilt Block Mania block debuted here on the blog. The theme was Games, and I made a Quilter’s Bingo block. The pattern is free to my newsletter subscribers.

And that was my week!

Now let’s see who made this week’s feature

Let’s see what caught my eye this week.

Up first is Julie @ Julie’s Quilts and Costumes who shared her Lighthouse Inn quilt. Isn’t it gorgeous? I love the bright colors against that dark background, and the lights and darks in each block. Wonderful!

And finally, Turid @ Den Syende Himmel shared her spool quilt. She and a group of friends made these for a show—each quilt is in answer to a specific prompt. What a wonderful idea! So creative, and they make a great display.
