Finish-Along Q4 2021
1. (Q3 2015) I'm making a low-volume and turquoise version of a scrappy trip around the world quilt and I've made all the blocks. The top has been assembled and backing chosen:
2. (Q2 2016) I’ve been planning this quilt since at least 2013 and would like to at least make a start on prepping blocks. (I've been saying that for a while...) I have a range of backgrounds and some gorgeous Oakshott (Scandinavian, I think). The block pattern is in the photo and I've already completed a test block. Oh, and I’ve learnt how to use TouchDraw and created templates. (I need to alter one of them as I’ve realised I can combine two pieces into one because adjoining blocks will share a background and it’s possible to sew them as one.)
3. (Q2 2016) The quilting on ET has started and I’ve quilted along the ditches of all the sashing and in the (many) ditches of six blocks:
4. (Q4 2016) I'm going to turn this pink pin cord into a round neck pinafore version of the Kate dress:
5. (Q4 2016) This rather 80s winter sports print (it really could be from then as it came out of someone's loft!) is going to become a version of the Kate dress or Dress No. 2, possibly with a v neck and long/elbow length sleeves.
6. (Q2 2017) This is going to become a Kate dress (or dress No. 2):
8. (Q2 2017) Winterkist quilt - top complete, quilting thread and backing has been ordered and a plan for the back and quilting has been chosen.
9. (Q2 2017) This Italian lawn is going to become a top version of the Kate dress or a shirt no.1, depending on how I feel when I lay it on the sewing table:
10. (Q4 2017) The pinafore I made needs a lining (it needs a slip under it, but the armholes are too low for the slips I have, so a lining it is):
11. (Q4 2018) Jeans: I’ve tacked together the legs and a trial yoke and waistband and had a fitting. I’m now unpicking all that so I can start sewing them together properly once I’ve cut out all the pieces.
Yes, it is luffly outside. You can admire it from inside while you finally whittles this list down *generous face* |
