Sunday Shortlist

It's been a good two weeks since my last Sunday Short-list.  We had two camping trips, I got a lot of organizing done, and we got to see some of my good friends.  I don't think I did as well with my list as I'd hoped, but it was definitely a good couple weeks!
1.  finish the top for my memory quilt-done 
2. work on my Stitching Sunshine blog hop quilt-I did a very little but I think I'll do better this week
3. Post for Its cool to be square blog hop-done
4. Post about my block swap-done
5.  Clean the table off and baste the block of the month and quilt my wedding gift-not yet I was cleaning other rooms instead
6. Make my monochromatic baby quilt top-done
7. Write about our camping trip.-I didn't write about the trip, but I did write about the 9/11 quilt since we were able to take pictures.
I guess I did better at my list than I thought.  But the only new projects are ones for gifts so I’ll share a couple camping pictures instead...





only have 1 1/2 more days of school so I should have more time to devote to quilting soon; however I'm also sending my machine for service. .  So what is on this week's list?
1. work on my Stitching Sunshine blog hop project
2. write about camping trips
3. clean the table for tying some quilts and basting the block of the month
4. more cleaning and organizing of my craft room. 
5. Prepare the next memory quilt
6. Figure out a machine that I was given

See you Later Alligator!

When this blog hop was announced I knew it was a perfect fit because of how much we love to travel. I had so many ideas of travel quilts; none of which have been sewn yet. After evaluating my UFOs in the last hop I decided I needed to focus on projects with definite deadlines rather than "that's cute and would be nice to make someday" projects...Fortunately I had a baby quilt with a deadline that also matched the theme! When someone is taking a train trip, there's probably someone left behind saying "see you later, alligator" after all. I also completed another baby quilt top at my retreat with Noah's Ark, though I can't find it, there has to be an alligator in there somewhere. Both of the babies are expected in December and I have the backings ready so quilting them should definitely be done in time to prevent these from becoming UFOs.

Here comes the Sun

 Carol of  Just let me Quilt  had organized another great blog hop.  Our prompt this time was to create something sun related.  I went through a number of ideas, but kept coming back to the same one.  At m6 quilt retreat this spring, we had a demonstration of Dorset Buttons by a couple of the embroidery ladies.  They thought maybe we quilters could use them for embellishments and gave us each a kit to make two.  When watching the demonstration I thought watching it was mesmerizing but couldn’t see myself making them.  A couple weeks later we had a teacher wellness day and one session was an hour of doing your own crafts.  I wanted something small enough to take to work so I took my kit and realized they were fun and the small ones weren’t nearly as time consuming as I expected.  I am starting to make some into jewelry and wreaths and hoping to sell at some local craft events.   Several of my early buttons My first Dorset Button When I made the pastel wreath, I thought it would take a d

Time in a Bottle

Image
 I've only recently started to enjoy making half square triangles, so when the theme for Time in a Bottle was announced I wasn't sure I'd participate.  I considered making a mug rug for game night with a hourglass applique but since the prompt specifically said the hourglass block I wasn't sure that would work.  Then when I started working on the Oh My Stars quilt I showed last month in the Tickled Pink blog hop, I realized I had a lot of bonus triangles I could use.  I have a tendency to throw those bonus triangles in my scrap bin and add them to crazy blocks but I decided I'd use them to make hourglasses this time.  By the time I trimmed them my hourglass was much smaller than I usually work with, but they weren't so bad to work with, until it came time for quilting.  Between a needle I should have replaced and a lot of joined seams the back has some areas that don't look so great-if it were something that would be seen I'd feel the need to tear it out
