"Get It Done" in March and April and May

Judy at Patchwork Times is helping us to get projects done in 2013 by sponsoring

"Get It Done".

 

We are to blog about 4 items we want to get done during the month.

During the month of February, I completed the following items:

I completed binding 2 of the Alaskan quilts.

I selected the fabric for my Mariner’s Compass Quilt
I have pasted the fabric to the color chart!

It was actually March 5th, but I did finish piecing the Baby Quilt!

 

For the month of March I need to complete the following items.

I need to make labels for the 2 Alaskan Quilts and get those shipped to their new home.
Done and the they love their new home!!

Once Becky from Ruby Blue Quilting is done quilting the Baby Quilt,
I need to bind and label it.
Done and the Mommy was really pleased!!

I still need to do a label.

Continue working on Cassie’s Judy and Brad Niemeyer Waterfall quilt
Done piecing and now at Ruby Blue Quilting to be quilted on Becky and Beth's longarm.
Done being quilted and waiting to be binded.

 

Oh and I decided to make a Shamrock Twister wall hanging, not sure that will get done by St. Patrick’s day, but it will be fun.
Center of the wall hanging is done!!

I used some of the left over fabric from Cassandra's quilt to plan another Judy and Brad Niemeyer quilt.  Tumbleweeds will have Browns, Golds and Purples.  I have pasted the fabric onto the planning guide.

I plan to be a little more productive in May and to Blog more!!

Hanging sleeve and bind my Feathered Peacock Star Wall hanging

 

 

This is my second Judy and Brad Niemeyer pattern and Becky Silbaugh at Ruby Blue Quilting studio did a great job with the quilting.  Becky has a post at her blog with pictures of this quilt in progress.  This quilt needs done by January 19th so that it can be delivered to the Lake Farm Parks for Quilts 2013.

Scene in Alaska Quilt Kit

 

 

This is the fourth Lisa Moore pattern I have completed since traveling to Alaska in 2008.

My friend Doris traveled to Alaska this past June and asked if I could complete the 2 kits she picked up there.  I need to finish the shasings and borders.

Cassie's Brown and Teal quilt

 

I would like to finalize the pattern I will be doing for Cassie's quilt.  I will be doing a Judy and Brad Niemeyer pattern, but I have to decide one which one.  Then I'm going to design it in EQ7 so I can add the fabrics.  I'm leaning toward Waterfalls.

Sara's Baby quilt

 

My hairdresser is expecting her 2nd child this winter, so I will be doing a boy's baby quilt.

I have to design it in EQ7 and then start cutting and piecing.

 

 

I have some left overs from another baby quilt I did last year, called Sea of Dreams by South Sea Imports.  So I thought I would use that fabric to make up a simple block and rectangle quilt.

 

Ok now I have my goals for January lets see how many of them I "Get Done"!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Yes there is life after Feathered Star!!!

Thursday I stopped at Cottonpickers to pick up some 50% off fabric for quilt backings.

 

Beth asked me what I was working on now that my Feathered Peacock Star is at Becky's for quilting.

 

I'm currently working on two Lisa Moore Quilts with a Twist kits from Alaska for my friend Doris.  She and her oldest son's family traveled to Alaska this past June.  She bought the kits to decorate her basement as a reminder of the trip.

 

 

Aurora Garden with a Twist

 

This one has been fussy cut and some of the blocks are together.  The fabric for the outer blocks and the borders on this one are directional so I need to pay attention when putting them together.

 

 

Scene in Alaska the Interior

This one will be next.  I need to press the fabric and and use template plastic to cut the panel into the correct pieces.  I love how this looks like you are looking through a window!!

 

 

Alaska Photo Album

 

I purchased this kit when I was in Alaska almost 5 years ago.  It's finished and I may have Becky quilt them all at the same time.
