Upcoming Projects – A Busy August and Beyond
Here is a recap of some of the projects we will be working on over the next month and beyond. I have a habit of adding new projects willy nilly, but it’s good to have a full plate right?!
Project #1
Several of you have joined our sew along, choosing between three different free quilt patterns. We selected Up From Here and only have one square together so far. Since several of our friends have already completed their flimsies, we feel woefully behind (not really). Plus I had the wild idea of making the other two projects as well!
Project #2
We’re making another Plus Playtime for a young friend who just bought his first house. His major is math so we think a plus sign quilt is just the perfect quilt. We’ll have to find just the perfect backing fabric!
Project #3
When the directions for the first block for Fireburst were released on August 1st, we discovered that we had mixed up some of the fabrics. Sew, we need to remake several of those before we can put our Fireburst block together. Good thing we have all month to get it corrected and made! Way back in Step 1 the mistake was made.
Project #4
We went to visit my brother after the 4th of July. My sister-in-law asked us to make her a new purse, so that is going on our list. I’ve not made a purse for a while but I know we can do it. I’m on the hunt for a pattern that looks similar to her old purse.
Project #5
The next hand quilting project for Sue is together except for borders. We would like to get those borders on, it layered and let the hand quilting begin.
Project #6
George the Giraffe needs to be designed based on these picture ideas. Of course, this will not happen in just one month but we need to get the wheels in motion.
Etc. . .
Complete UFOs and finish all of these for PHD . . . oh so much to sew and sew little time.
Our other Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link or along the sidebar on our website for more quilting fun – check out what our friends are up to. Like/follow us on our Facebook page and you can share your photos of what you’re working on. We would love to see them!
Hello Roseanne; Whew…you made me tired just reading all of your August projects! I have a feeling that the two of you will manage the projects just fine! You always seem to meet all of the goals you make. I cleaned my fabric storage area and discovered far to many projects that are not finished. A few tops and many sets of blocks. For the next year, I should not have to make a quilt. I have that many unfinished items. LOL. I always look forward to seeing what you are working on. Have a fantastic day!
Wow you ladies will keep out of trouble if you stay on task with these projects!! Good luck;)
Lots of great projects on the go, I know about adding them willy nilly. I am sewing but just haven’t got to the blogging, I need to advance that a bit. This week I dedicated it to getting through the blocks on my mother’s memory quilt. It’s what I call the “first draft” and now looking at it I know what I need to change up in the next one and what I need to well… just sew a little better!
Wow! You are going to busy! 😊❤️
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that has many projects in the pipeline. Yes, they keep on coming but that’s the fun of it. New and exciting things to do and try!
Just keep swimming and you will have progress!
The list is never ending, always adding and subtracting to and from it. I’m glad we can say we always have things to do!
That’s quite the list! Check out Noodlehead and Sotak Handmade for bag patterns, by the way.
Some great fun outlined here, but my favorite is the black ‘plus’ quilt for the math fan — gorgeous!
Always so many projects to do!! If only we could do with an hour of sleep a night!! Happy stitching!
Look at you go Roseanne! I’m excited to see your sew Along project… maybe I will start mine tomorrow:)❤️❤️
