Maniac Monday #4 2012

 Wow how time flies when you cuddle with a baby. LOL! I sure am having fun with him. I have been busy sewing also.

1. Finishes ALL PJ's and lazy pants.

I finished this large task. The girls are SO happy to have new PJ bottoms. I am glad to have new lazy pants. Total made 13 pairs!

2. Count On It~Art to Heart,

a) take a picture of January

Still need to do this.

b) finish February

Sewed top, added applique and buttons, and sewed the embroidery.

3. Start sewing on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt Double Delight. (PQA)

Goal: to finish one half
I did not even do one square.

4. Make the next four blocks in the Count Your Blessings Quilt Along. (PQA)
Did not do any.

5. Take a picture of my PQA Block Swap for February.

Done and posted.

What I accomplished that was not on my list...

I finished my February flowers. She asked for blue or white centers and pedals. I hope that she likes these.

I finished my February Schnibble pattern. It is so cool. But can I say I HATED most of this quilt. I did not like the little HST or the tiny checkerboard pieces. It took much longer than last months. Now that it is done I love it!! It reminds me of spring.

My list for next week:

1. Block Swap Adventure blocks for February and March

2. Count on It~ Art to Heart for February and start on March

3. Hello Sun QA for January and February

4. Bonnie Hunter step 1.

I know I have not been around much. Just remember that I miss all of you. It means a lot to me that you still stop by here when I post. THANK YOU!

Extra Blocks and Flowers

This is a block I made for my partner in PQA (Parma Quilters Anonymous). She provided the black and asked for any bright star block. I know she will love it.

Here are the flowers I received from my partner in The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap. Thank you Ros, I love them.

Also in my PQA group we are doing a Quilt Along. Here are my first three blocks. I am looking forward to doing this quilt.

Maniac Monday #3 2012

Well lets just say things have been C.R.A.Z.Y. around here and leave it at that. Jayden is such a blessing to have. I love that little guy. I babysat his two older sisters and it is so neat to be able to say I helped to take care of all of them.

Even though I have been busy with the little guy I have been sewing. I finished the last of the blocks for the Geese in a Ring Swap. I mailed them off and they are being sorted now to ship to their owners. I can't wait to see mine. I have a cool idea of how to set them.  

I finished my Let's Bee Together block of January . Such an interesting and fun block. The quilt will be so filled with color.

 I also finished my February block. I will be mailing it out soon. I love black, white and red!!

I received my block from Sandra for January for Block Swap Adventures. Can I say, she NAILED it. I love this block!! Thank you.

My daughter made a new shower curtain for the mail bathroom. This girl can sew! I make this matching all hanging out of some of the extra fabric. I love it. Next we are going to make some decorations out of toilet paper rolls.

Of my list from a while back that I did not get finished here is how it worked out.

3. Pick out fabric for Count Your Blessings Quilt Along. (PQA)

I did that. It took a while. The quilt is done in darker country looking fabrics and I don't have many. So my quilt will be a bit brighter. I think it will look great.

4. Make 3 #1 blocks for the above quilt. (PQA)

I finished the blocks. They are so cute. I have four blocks to make this month. I will add pictures later.

5. Start cutting fabric for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt Double Delight. (PQA)

I have finished cutting out step #1. I will need more time to start sewing them.

 

That is how far I have gotten. Oh one more thing. I have been holding off making PJ bottoms for my girls for two Christmas'. I know whats the hold up. Well I got my serger out last week and now I am committed to finishing all of them. I am even making my some "around the house" pants. I only wear jeans when I leave and since I am home most of the time I am in sweets. YUCKY! I need to feel pretty. So I bought three yards of five very nice fabrics (last summer, I know!) so I am making them also. So between the three of us I am making 13 pairs of pants. They are all cut out, inner seams sewn, front to back crotch seam, done. Now I am working on the serged seam at the waist and ankles. Then it is just side seam, adding the elastic and hemming the ankles. I am more than half way done. LOL! I will add pictures of them also.

 

For my list this next week:

1. Finishes ALL PJ's and lazy pants.

2. Count On It~Art to Heart,

a) take a picture of January

b) finish February

3. Start sewing on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt Double Delight. (PQA)

4. Make the next four blocks in the Count Your Blessings Quilt Along. (PQA)

5. Take a picture of my PQA Block Swap for February.

I am going to stop there. I have started a second list in my binder. We will see how far I get.
