Finishing up

A few little projects, finished just in time to take part in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal (OMG).

My three fabric storage boxes 

You can find the pattern in the book Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison.  I decided not to add cardboard this time and just relied on the stiff interfacing, it was the cardboard step that was stalling me from finishing these, and someone commented on past blog post that they did not use the cardboard.  What a great idea, I’m happy with the results.

Finished a couple of leaf potholders in pink and purple. 

These scrappy potholders are from a pattern by Patchwork Pottery.  I enjoy using up my little scraps, making them in all the colours of the rainbow.

My last little project to finish is this quilted skull bag 

 

Using up scraps from my husband’s skull quilt, and trying out a tutorial from AjileJack I made this quilted bag.  I’m happy with the results, and will likely make a few more.  Sewing through the thickness of the handle was a bit tricky, my friend Carolyn suggested using my Featherweight and it worked like a charm.

Happy to have these projects done, and now considering what to finish for December.

November goal

Participating in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal, I have a couple of little things I’d like to finish in November.

These three quilted storage boxes. 

From the book Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison.

These two sets of leaf potholders. 

A pattern by Patchwork Pottery.

And this skull frankenbag. 

A tutorial from Agilejack.

These were some projects that I started at a Fall quilting retreat in Fairmont B.C. with my three quilting friends. 

I did work on a few other items as well, however these will be set aside to complete another month.

A bunch of blocks for a High Five quilt. (these are actually little piles of blocks)

Also from the book Sunday Morning Quilts.

The start of some mini log cabin blocks in blues and purples for more bookmarks. 

And I did actually complete a pillow case, for my grandson who likes my pillowcases and loves to fish. 

Here’s hoping I can complete these little project by the end of November.
