October OMG 2017 Goal

Posted on October 3, 2017 | 5 comments

Patchwork Times drew the number 6 for the October UFO goal.

My number 6 is the Aunt Bea’s Parlor embroidery quilt project.  I have already made quite a bit of progress on this one, since I decided to work on it for my Slow Sunday Stitching project.

I have completed the embroidery for 17 out of 20 blocks.  Woohoo!

So my goal for October is to finish the embroidery on the last three blocks.  I want to get the blocks squared up and add the corner triangles to them.

I think this may be as far as I get, since the last three months of the year are the busiest work months at my day job.

September OMG 2017 Goal

Posted on September 2, 2017 | 5 comments

For September, Patchwork Times drew number 4 from the UFO list.  My number 4 is the same as my number 5 goal was…the friendship round robin project. I knew I would need lots of time (I need lots of time to complete almost anything)!

You can read about this friendship strip round robin quilt here, here, and here.

I left off working on this project in March.  I was sewing four patches together for borders.

My goal for September is to get the borders sewn onto the quilt top and have a completed flimsy.

August OMG 2017 Goal Update

Posted on August 28, 2017 | 10 comments

The number 8 was drawn by Patchwork Times, as the monthly goal for August.

My number 8 goal was to do something with some machine applique floral sample blocks.

I squared the blocks to 12-1/2″.

Triangles were added to set the blocks on point.

After squaring and setting the blocks on point, I decided to turn them into autumn placemats.

I kept the quilting simple; straight lines, echo, and meandering (I’m not making Van Gogh or Picasso art pieces after all). Here’s a look at the back:

I’ll be gifting these placemats…it feels good to have turned the blocks into something useful!
