Officially finished = quilted, washed and in use!
Ms. E’s Fresh Flowers quilt.
I used embroidery floss I had on-hand to tie this quilt. I had plans to do some machine quilting, and then decided finishing was more important. 214 knots later… Ms. E is in L-O-V-E!
This quilt has already gone through the wash several times since she is carrying it around the house with her. Amazingly the knots have stayed in. I was really unsure if they would or ‘knot’. It is very neat that they are staying in so well.

~ Works In Progress ~
Postage Stamp Quilt; on hold and fabrics being used now for the Rockin Robin Quilt Along.
Rockin Robin Quilt Along; fabrics choosen {see Postage Stamp Quilt link above}
Sugar Pop HSTs; 40 charms pieced with gray, cut, and ready to press and trim.
‘Lovely’ Quilt for me; 2 of 12 cabin blocks done, next cabin block laid out and ready to sew.
Ms. V’s Fresh Flowers Quilt; have plan, next step… start cutting.
This is going to be a quilt as I go project. So I need to cut 15 squares of batting, backing and top fabric to get this quilt started.
Skill Builder Quilt Along; selected fabrics, need to piece together the first three blocks.
This is going to be a fun Christmas quilt, for ‘I’m don’t know yet’ {LOL!}
Summer Sampler Series; picked fabrics to get started with, but will be adding more to balance out the ‘values’; waiting for first post on the 11th {not behind on this one… yet} ~ This will be donated as part of the 100 Quilts for Kids campaign.
Ready, Set, Snow Snowball Tablerunner; have a plan, need to start piecing
Puppy Quilt; still need to baste and quilt
Fresh Flowers Liberated Wedding Rings Tablerunner; quilted, need to get the iron out and get the binding completed.
And that should wrap up my WIP update. I was hoping to make more progress on this list over the weekend, but I got several Kitchen Valances completed for Mom instead. Since these had been on the back burner for a while, it feels really good to have these off my plate. Thank you Lord for my serger!!! It certainly makes creating curtains ‘sew’ much faster.
