Finish it Up Friday

Finally!!!! Some sewing machine time! Block #4 of the fatquartershop.com 2012-2013 mystery block of the month.

Friday Finishes

Not a whole lot of sewing this week, however, I did make not 1 but 3 peacock tutus for Halloween. My daughters and my oldest's beat friend are going to be peacocks together. What little girl doesn't love a tutu and glitter?

I found the perfect royal blue shirts and brown leggings, both with rhinestones for the girls. The big girls are going to have peacock feathers in their hair and the little one has a peacock feather headband that my sister scored at a doll.ar store. Pics of the final costumes to come.

So many works in progress

I am hoping to post some finished projects in the next few days. In the meantime, here is a finished Farmer's wife block (#2, Autumn Trails)

Three finishes this week!

First, I quilted and bound two quilts that are going to their new owners this week. I have been machine binding recently and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed hand binding both of the quilts. They are washed and all crinkly! I also pieced some flying geese and put the first row of the 2012-2013 mystery block of the month quilt together.

Block #3

Farmer's Wife Quilt

Block #1, Attic Windows

The blocks are all inspired from the letters of 1920's farm wives.  There are a total of 111 blocks.  I have no time frame on this quilt and am going to make blocks every now and again using scraps.  I am excited to see what this quilt looks like when I am finished (maybe in a year or 2 or 3).
