It's time for Week 31 of Project 52! I have a a "kit" I put together of a jelly roll, pattern and background. The pattern is called "Lanterns" by Purple Pineapple Studio.
When I went to look for the pattern at the website PurplePineappleStudio.com, the pattern wasn't there. There is another pattern listed that is similar called "Beacons". My goal this week is to get this cut out and ready for sewing. And if I get some of the sewing done, great!
Momentum is building as I make progress on projects. That always gets me excited to make something else or keep going on the bigger projects.
I finished making the Quick Trip top, pieced a backing and now I need to cut some batting so I can pin baste it next week when I have a big table. I didn't think to take a picture of the finished top. So next week when I have it all basted, I'll take a picture.
Next up is "Lil' Sky Diamond" . This top was completed back in April but it took some time to find backing in my stash but I did! (I wanted to use a whole piece of fabric as the are so many seams on the front of the quilt.) I just finished quilting it and made binding for it. I'm ready to sew the binding on and then stitch it down. Taking it to the finish line soon!
Week 30 of Project 52 is going to be a "Quick Trip Around The World". This has been a little kit in my stash and is based on a quilt by Eleanor Burns.
I hope this is really a Quick Quilt. Fingers crossed that I can figure it out.
Keep On Keeping On. I picked up my Bernina so it's time to get my next Project 52 picked out!
I follow a blog called "A Quilting Life" by Sherri McConnell and she has a Block of the Month that I have been working on since January. But I got behind in July(no surprise there) and before you know it, it's August. So July's block is cut out and I have started sewing on it. I want to get this caught up. Here is June's block:
The Fabrics are from a small Fat Quarter Bundle called "Cold Spell" batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts.
I have a Project 52 update today. I think I have all of my fish school blocks completed! WooHoo!
I also went back to my first post about Project 52 and discovered I was putting too much pressure on myself. As time went on, I started thinking I needed to complete each project. But if you check this out, you will see all I needed to do was work on the project for only one week. Whew
That being said, I still would really like to complete these Projects in a weeks time. LOL But, slow and steady wins the race. 🐢 But I do need to get myself back on track and work on Projects. I really am trying to not start any new projects. We will see how strong my will power is.
Now to figure out which week I really am on and get myself back on my Project track. Wish me luck!
I'm trying hard to get back on the wagon. I fell off the Project 52 wagon when I got sick Fourth of July weekend. (If truth be told, I was starting to fall off before that time.)
I got my Bernina taken in yesterday. Check that off the list.
Set up my Featherweight to use. Check that off the list.
Finish sewing fish blocks. Not checked off yet, but soon! This is the little stack of pieces that I have left to sew!
Now to decide which Project 52 item is next to get to the finish line
