Week 17 Of Project 52

 Week 17 of Project 52 will have to be another easy project, Boxy Quilted Pouch.  I got the pattern when it was on Craftsy  but I have a link for you to the oringial designer if you want to make your own.  I have three of these on my project list.  Here is the first one:

These are fun little pouches to make. I have made others.  You can check it out here and here and here.  I should go through my stash and combine more fat quarters.  But that's for another day, I have too many projects to get caught  up on right now.  Maybe for Round Two of Project 52?

Slow And Steady

Slow and steady is my mantra.  I did complete another block for my Sampler Quilt.

And I worked on Clue Three for Rhododendron Trail, Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt for 2021.  Almost done with those and will be ready to go to Clue Four.  As I said, slow and steady.

Finished A Block

 I finished a block for my Sampler quilt.  I had to redo it 3 times but it's finally finished with all the fabrics in the correct places.  For some reason I was having trouble with the HSTs that had three fabrics.  

I still haven't started my swing bag and I did find another easy one for the next project which I will share tomorrow.  I've been trying to catch up on my Sampler Quilt blocks so hopefully that happens soon.

I think I need a list of UFOs of the UFOs.  

Update

I have an update on Project 52 projects and the others as well.  

The canning jar table topper has been pin basted and quilted!  So nice to have the topper that far along.  I'll be cutting out the binding next so that I can sew that on at my next class.

I worked on Week 15 of Project 52 yesterday also.  The kind of jelly roll racer quilt is coming together nicely.  I forgot to get a picture, I will get one soon.

The Swing Bag is still untouched.  I'm planning on working on that today or tomorrow.  I also need to do some cleaning in my sewing room.  And maybe a little rearranging.  

Tuesday I had a little issue with my Featherweight sewing machine so yesterday it went to get cleaned and oiled.  It was due for a good cleaning.  I love sewing on that machine so I miss it when it's having a spa day.  

That's it for the update.  Hope you're having fun with your sewing projects

Week 16 Of Project 52

This is Week 16 of Project 52.  And this week's project will be another "Twist" Bag.

 

 I am down to the last two "Twist" Bags, this week's and one more.  I'm still working on Week 15's project and I have a couple of rows sewn together.  So I hope to complete it this week so I can have a backing for one of my quilt tops.

Sadly

 Sadly I didn't make much progress on Week 15 of Project 52, so I'm going to figure out another easy project so I can get some things caught up.  Part of my problem is taking on new projects when I should be concentrating on the old ones.  But that's not near as much fun, right?  LOL

This week was the start of the second table topper in Jean's current series of toppers.  I have the top done and ready to be basted.  So that's good.

The deep purple fabric for the sashing has been in my stash since 1996! It's been a really hard purple to match up with anything.  But it did blend well with my border fabric.  I'm going to use that purple for the binding and what is left will get cut up and added to my "Scrape Users System" per Bonnie Hunter.  This system has been so useful for me.

Well This Is A First

Well this is a first.  

I didn't sew on the side I had pinned. I was only about half way down the seam when I noticed.  What in the world?  How did I do that?  And why did I do that?

Easy.  I set my "to be sewn pieces" in front of my machine and pick them up and send them through.  I had them set up the wrong way.  I just grabbed the first set and sewed.  

Set up the wrong way.

These are correct.

What a creature of habit.  But that's what makes it go faster, I can go on auto drive, when I have it set up correctly that is.
