Finish Along 2016 Q4

Here is my list for Q4 2016

#falq4weekendtextiles
#falweekendtextiles



1 ~ Spider Quilt (photobombed by Naked Dog who I have removed from the list because I do not think I am ever going to make him a coat).  Quilt needs a bit more ditch quilting, then some FMQ or hand - have not decided yet -and then binding.  Free pattern Amy Gibson on Craftsy.

2 ~  Voile Quilt - Changed pattern again - This time I have gone for a free pattern from Tula Pink called Moxie.  I really really dislike working with voile.

3 ~ Gypsy Kisses (Material Obsession pattern) is plodding along lovely.  I have completed all my arcs and I am slowly hand stitching my centres on.

4 ~ Garments - As per every other list but all the fabric is now washed.

5 ~ Bright Lights, Big City pattern by Victoria Findley Wolfe

6 ~ Conkers Quilt pattern by Jo Avery

7 ~ Lawn Diamonds pattern by @sarahscrawdesigns

8 ~ Diamond Drop pattern by Nicole Neblett (mamalovequilts.com)

9 ~ Mariners Madness pattern by Chris Jurd

The below patterns are not part of my FAL Q4 list but are more on a patterns pending list.

Maybe they will make Q1 2017

Finish Along 2016 Q3

Finish Along 2016 Q3 List      #FALQ3weekendtextiles

1 ~  Naked dog still naked

2 ~  Voile Quilt - Change of plan from Q2 list - Hopefully this voile fabric will become Emerging Stars Pattern from Material Obsession. Another change of pattern - Vintage Spin from Adding Layers by  Kathy Doughty - instead of wedges I have drafted a foundation paper piecing pattern to hold the slippery voile in place.  I have completed a test block and it is still so so slippery so I have been using a glue pen to stick the voile to the paper after each trim.

3 & 4 ~   Scrap Spiders (Free Amy Gibson pattern on Craftsy Block of the Month) has progressed to a nearly finished top along with an Anna Maria Horner chevron top which needs some borders

5 ~  Gypsy Kisses - piecing is coming along nicely (Pattern from Material Obsession Two)

6 & 7 ~   Two baby quilts - Baby Star and Baby Flying Geese (I drafted the geese block)

8 ~    Ever increasing pile of garments to be sewn

9 ~   Lonestar has progressed to FMQ (I used the pattern by Jo Avery in Quilt Now.

10 ~   FAL list staple Summersville HST Quilt - still unfinished.




11 ~    Grey Plus Quilt also lying neglected



12 &13 ~ Red and Blue Stars - Two quilts- 12 X 13 1/2" blocks of each colour way.  (Pattern Starlight Express by Lynne Edwards)

I have finished three from Q2 list and added three quilts and a few garments during Q2.


************* I hope everyone has an enjoyable sewing filled summer ***************

Weekend Update on Q2 List

I only added my list to Fluffy Sheep Quilting blog yesterday but already I can update as my Lone Star is further along than the Q2 list photographs show.  It was raining very hard here on the south coast of the UK yesterday so I could not re-photograph my Lone Star progress - but here it is today.  I am following the pattern by Jo Avery in Quilt Now.  Over Q1 I finished piecing and joining four arms.  Just the four part arms left to piece for the corner.

Gypsy Kisses - I have been piecing on this most of the day and have added 4 strips to each section making 288 sets of cutting, trimming, sewing and ironing.  Only 142 strips to go...

Doe Binding for the Chevron HST Quilt was also made today.

and probably a few more Spider Blocks pieced since the original photograph was taken months ago.  I have used the pattern  from Amy Gibson's Block of the Month on Craftsy - Free course. There are 48 sections in this photo, enough for 12 blocks which finish at 12 1/2".  I am hoping to eventually to make 25.

                                                *********************************
