I can't believe it's Week 12 already! I decided since I missed so much time this week because of Christmas happenings, I will have to make another easy project. So it's another Swing Bag!
I have it all cut out and it's ready to sew. Hope to get it finished during the next 2 days. We have a Winter Storm Warning for Saturday starting at 6:00 am until Midnight so what better time to stay in and sew!
Well I didn't get the cat stockings made, but I did make some Cat Toys!
I used this pattern from "Ruffles and Rain Boots" as a guide. I found this cute little project on Pinterest and I converted them to catnip toys vs an ornament. But it would be fun to make ornaments!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas
My Danish Woven Hearts are complete!
I decided on felt handles, but I need to pick up some Tacky Glue. But it is nice to have this Project almost done!
I was looking at my list of Project 52 choices and saw that the Woven Hearts were a separate project from the felt mice. So this week, I'm making Danish Woven Hearts. Here is a picture of my Christmas tree from a few years ago with all the fabric woven hearts. Now I'm going to try and make them with felt.
Week Ten of Project 52 is done! All the way to the finish line! WooHoo!
Now to decide on the next project.
Week Nine of Project 52 - A Top! All the clues are sewn together and I now have a top!
I had more thoughts on Project 52 yesterday. I struggle to finish up some of these UFOs as what is left is really more than what can be accomplished in a week. Should I start another list? I'm thinking I might. It would be all of the Project 52 UFOs that didn't get to the finish line. Kind of setting up a Project 52 Round Two, for the next year.
Part of my problem is I am still starting new projects as I signed up for a couple of classes. One is a table topper class where we will make three different table toppers. For this class I am restricting myself to using stash only. So far so good. I'm also taking a Sampler Class and again, using as much stash as I can. I only needed to buy my background and another fabric.
Plus I promised stockings for the grandkitties this year. And I would like to make some placemats. These aren't part of Project 52. How do I squeeze them in? This is a dilemma that I know hits lots of other quilters. Do you have any tips for organizing your sewing?
It's hard for me to believe it's Week Ten of Project 52! I'm so glad I started this when I did. I have some of the projects completed and some are getting closer to the finish line. It has really helped me to be focused on completing the projects.
This week's project is "So Easy 'Twist' Bag" from Country Sampler. I tried to find the pattern at their online store, but I didn't have any luck. Sorry!
Clue number four is complete! Now to put all my clues together to create my throw!
And also choose the next project....
Clue number three is complete! This clue went pretty fast. I'm hoping clue number four goes as fast.
Clue number two is complete! It took longer than one day to finish. But it's done and I have started to cut out clue number three.
This is week nine of Project 52 and I have decided to work on a quilt top that I kitted up but never started last year: The Jelly Snowflake Mystery Quilt Sew Along. I provided the link for you to check it out. Or you may even be interested it making this quilt throw yourself.
There are four clues and then the finishing instructions. So I'm going to try and do one clue a day. I completed Clue One yesterday.
Christmas Mice!
It's week eight of Project 52 and I just realized I didn't Post as to which project I am going to work on. This week is all about some felt ornaments I have kitted up, Danish Heart baskets and candy cane mice.
I don't have a picture of one, but I will get one of each made soon and show you what they look like.
Sorry, I'm late with getting this posted. I finished another "Doug The Bug" pincushion, which was Week Seven
The pincushion on the left is the newest one. I'm not as fond of it as I was of the first one from 2013.
SO now what? I have 2 more of these cut out. I decided to change the background shape from a circle to a square. I'm hoping that will improve it. But I'm taking a break from these for now.
