Bullseye

Another bullseye babyquilt, blocks from a swap, FAL at Quilter in the Gap, quilt going to Africa. I just keep saying the same thing over and over aren´t I=)

This is going to be my last FAL finish for this quarter. I´ve got a massive cold, and I work all weekend, so I decided to cut myself some slack and skip the aprons. I´ll put them on the list for next quarter instead. I´m taking a few days of from UFOs now, maybe if I have the energy I´ll sew something new=)
I´m off to Quilter in the Gap to link up my finishes - I am sooo happy to see all these old projects finally finished=)

Take care!

I´m finishing...

Another babyquilt finished. These bullseye blocks are from a swap I participated in years ago, that I lost interest in almost imediatly. I have a bit of a short attention span sometimes=) A perfect project for the Finish-A-Long at Quilter in the Gap.

I kept the quilting simple, and bound it with some leftover binding. I´m still not really in love with it, but it will keep a little baby in Africa warm and snug, and that´s a good thing, right=)

One more babyquilt and two aprons to go...

Take care!

Third finish this week

I´ve had some time of work this week, and spent a bit of that time with my Pfaff. Since all I do nowdays is finishing UFOs, this too is part of the Finish-A-Long at Quilter in the Gap=) The pattern is Sweet Menagerie by Roslyn Mirrington, avalable at Moda Bake Shop. I used a jelly roll of Sunkissed by Sweetwater, and some white on white from my stash.
This is where I started...

Took a few weeks off around here...

And here is where I ended up...

This quilt was growing out of my piece of batting, so I decided to skip two of the borders, and I did a loopy all over quilting that I´m starting to feel comfortable with. It will be given to my cousin for her 50th birthday, so I hope she´ll like it.

Take care!

Another FAL finish

I have a baby quilt finished. Another Finish-A-Long project done=) This top has been sitting around for a few years so it was a given on the FAL list.

The teddies were a free design set from Nita´s Place, and the fabric are scraps from a triple irish chain I made years ago...and forgot to take a picture of before sending it of.

I quilted it with the leafdesign that was the january challenge at SewCalGal´s FMQ challenge, so I got some more practice=)

This too is going to Africa.

Take care!

First FAL finish and FMQ challenge

I´ve finally finished one of my UFOs in the FAL at Quilter in the Gap. These pinwheels had been stashed away for quite a while, but now this

has turned into this

I have a bunch of babyquilts to finish, and they will all be sent of to an African hospital. I really love this Finish-A-Long, it makes me exited about projects I´ve almost forgot I started=) And trust me, I start way more than I finish...

This is also SewCalGal´s Free-Motion Quilting Challenge for March, by Ann Fahl. I chose to do the loopy design, and I loved it! I think it´s the first time I felt a flow in my FMQ, the stitches are quite even, and there was no struggle. Ok, the quilt is only about a yard square, so it´s a comfortable size to work with, but I still did a little happy-dance all by my lonesome=) I´m loving this challenge too! I´m learning so much, and I´m pushing myself to try new things, and I acctually se an improvement in my FMQ already=) I can´t wait to see what we´re doing next!

Sorry about the really crappy picture, I would improve my photography skills but I´m busy finishing UFOs and practicing FMQ=)
Take care!
