This fabric line, Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater/Moda, has become my focus for the next few weeks. It’s discontinued and there is a 2.0 out there, equally nice. I think I’ve had this FQ pack for about four years, and looking at the left overs, I’m hoping to be done with it this summer. The first quilt I made with it, Sewing quilt is on the frame and being quilted with a cute sewing themed panto that has pincushions, scissors, needle and thread and a spool of thread. Each row takes about 40 minutes to stitch out, only four more to go. The second quilt I am still piecing, this one is going to be my PIQF entry this year. I am hoping to finish the blocks, two more to go, this weekend, and get it all together before I go on vacation.
Then I’ll be able to quilt it for the next five weeks, I think that I can do it, even with a bit of procrastination. I was able to find a yard of the coordinating white on white print on Etsy yesterday. I am determined to use up the rest of this pile of scraps, maybe do a simple alternating 2 inch square quilt, controlled scrappy quilt to finish the scraps.
After the PIQF quilt, my ‘To Do List’ looks like this:
- Finish Minuet Mystery (borders and quilt)
- Sew Mama act 3 – piece
- Baby girl quilt for a friend (August Baby)
- Play Date quilt – quilt it
- Growing up Odd – quilt it (finally got a 118 wide backing
- Berties Year – quilt it (got backing and poly batting)
- Bind Christmas quilt and woven quilt (need bindings made)
Vacation First! This is a non quilting trip, I think I’m going to bring my current knitting project, The Floating Shawl. Or I could bring the hand work wreath project Shiny and Brite that I started a few months ago. I got all the tracing and the coloring in part done, just need to start on the embroidery accents.
Linking up with Judy today at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts for Design Wall Monday today.
