Welcome WIP Wednesday! I am excited this week to get some things accomplished and more things finished. Number one on my list, you would think, would be the Purple/Green table runner. The binding is sewn on the one side, binding clips are on and now it's ready for me to hand-sew.
However, I am having such energy this week I had to get some other projects pulled out from my WIP/UFO bin, not mention I did the unthinkable, I started some projects for Christmas presents. Everything is ready to make some bean bags and 3 dresses, all of which I hope to mailed off before Thanksgiving.
So my WIP's this week are:
New projects -4
In process - 23
Finishes - 10
But wait! There is more! I have two finishes already for this week as well. From my WIP from last Wednesday I not only finished the fall mini-quilt, but also a second fall mini-quilt that I had already cut out for my Mother for Christmas (I can say this online because my mother doesn't have internet and will never see this post). So along with my 8 finishes last Friday that brings my total up to 10 finishes from last Wednesday. Check out TGIFF for Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday, it's quite a fun group, you should look into joining and showing your finished projects!
Linking up at these places this week:
I love the pattern of your table runner! Go on, get it finished - you know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI love to hand stitch binding in front of the TV - nice and mindless. Happy WIP Wednesday - all your projects are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great table runner!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that leaf pile one. Did you design it yourself? :) Wow, you're raring through projects. Good on you! Thanks for the TGIFF shoutout! We should put you on as additional admin - until you get busy at least - hey, i've heard babies sleep all the time - you'll have nothing to do :P
ReplyDeleteLove the table runner. well done in get so much done this week.
ReplyDeleteWOW! 10 finishes! I bow to you! I wish I had that much energy. Maybe I will go hit the follow button and hopefully live vicariously through you and your finishes!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a lot of fun sewing on the go! The runner is lovely.

Pulling out projects without finishing the almost dones first sounds so familiar *LOL* Like your runner....
ReplyDeleteI still love the look of hand binding and it is sew relaxing to do while watching the tube.I like the other projects you have been working on I to have made a few (4) of the little fall wall hanings, there sure is a lot of stitching in those.Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteWow, you have a lot in process! Good for you for getting moving on Christmas stuff :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, that has got to be the cutest fall mini quilt I have seen yet. I LOVE that!!
ReplyDeleteYou did some very precise piecing on that table runner. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI love those feet sticking out of the leaves!! SO cute!! Way to finish 10 projects! Good luck with the 23 others!!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about starting new things ... I have begun Christmas sewing to and it's a little overwhelming, but I know we can do it! And those little booties are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can;t believe yu have 23 WiP. Wow, you are a busy bee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a ton of WIPS! I thought I had a lot!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of making bean bag games for some of the kids for Christmas. Wouldn't cost me anything at the moment since we have bags and bags of beans in the cabinet and material is sure no problem either.
ReplyDeleteLast week I started out with 29 WIP's, so I am feeling pretty good that the number is going down! Some of the WIP are unfinished projects I have been finding as I sorted and cleaned my craft room and storage boxes. I know there are some more hiding out in the boxes I haven't touched yet (Just found another one this morning!). The Fall mini-quilt is from a magazine called "Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting: Easy Quilts (fall 2011 issue)."
ReplyDeleteWow, 23 WIPs! But good for you for already starting Christmas presents, I haven't even started to think about what I want to make and give...
ReplyDeletelove that runner....but those 2 little ones are too cute
ReplyDeleteThose little baby shoes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, way to go getting so much finished up. Loving the little slippers up in the corner.

ReplyDeleteThat mini-quilt is super cute! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow! TEN finishes in one week?!
ReplyDeleteOh, new projects sing such a siren song, don't they? They are always so tempting!! Good for you getting your Christmas gifts going, though!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your energy! I could have used some this week! I'm still waiting on an order to finish one of my pieces! Love the mini-quilts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table runner, very cute shoes and other quilts. I had fun looking through the rest of your blog and enjoyed your comments. I used to live in the Dallas area of Texas, so I could relate to what's on your profile: "roasting in Texas." And then I saw that post of a seashore with your wistfulness about your soon-to-be born daughter never knowing about the horizon. I can relate to all of this, as I was homesick a lot while I lived in Texas. Hang in there--she will be one of those smart, cute Texas women and you'll show her your seashores all her life. Of course I'm reading too much into all this, but just know that I know how you feel. I live in Southern California now--a surprise to me too--and even though my town in in the desert area, I've never ever been as hot as I was in Dallas.

You are one very busy lady! That is a lot of projects going on! Also, thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on the Homemade Stockings... and for the laugh! So glad to know my hubby is not the only picky stocking guy out there. Ha. Good luck with yours!
ReplyDeleteLove bean bags! My mom had one when we were kids and I loved sitting/laying in it! Good luck w/your present creations.
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful projects and some cute finishes too, I agree that sewing binding while watching TV gets that job done:-)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! You are a machine, girl! Way to go! Love your mini quilt and I'm looking forward to seeing your new projects. thanks for the shout out to TGIFF! See you Friday!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner is so pretty and soothing! I love the calm colors. And I'm in awe of all your productivity! Good luck with you presents-by-Thanksgiving, I'll be sending productive thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWow! 10 finishes! I bow down to you! Even before my baby I couldn't finish one project a week. But I guess that could be because I still had two boys to watch. I don't know how you do it! I am in love with your leaf mini quilt! Is that your design? Thanks for posting the link for TGIFF! Hopefully I will have something to share this week...
ReplyDeleteThat fall mini is Adorable!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement! You seem to have things under control, if this is helping you then I will seriously consider joining!! I like your table runner and you are making all sorts of interesting items,it's never boring when there's so much variety. Keep up the splendid work!
ReplyDeletethat is a nice runner pattern long too which is always nice for those extra long runs of wood that make up the dinning room table.
ReplyDeleteWOW you have been busy, I could sure use some of that WIP busting energy myself - your table runner is looking great! I am very keen on table runners at the moment too.
