I don't feel like I have made as much progress over the last week - I've been spending a lot of time on the computer working on new quilt designs and revamping some old ones! Here is a cute row quilt I made back in 2016 (wow, 10 years goes by fast!)
The pattern is now available in my Etsy shop! It's all spiffied up and ready to download - you can see the original post for the pattern here. So onward to the UFO's...
Four more Oddfellows Star blocks finished. 10 more to go!
I was in the mood for machine quilting, so I worked on CityScape! I chose a design from Cheryl Malkowski's Doodle Quilting Mania book and really like the results.
You can really see it on the back! I am really pleased with this one! I used Quilter's Dream Deluxe Poly on this one, it's a nice dense batting, not as drapey as the lighter weights, but it's lovely to quilt with! And it shows up the quilting nicely.
Sorry for the bad picture - I will give this quilt its own post later with some nicer photos. I also sewed up the rest of the half square triangles I had cut for the mystery project! Plenty for another quilt, but I am setting those aside for now and moving on to another UFO! I did add borders to the basket quilt as well as sewing together a back. I'll baste a few quilts this week, I think. Unless something else calls my name!
I also did some more organizing in my quilt room. I had a basket with fabrics for another project that I had only made one block for. I decided that I didn't need to finish that one, so the block will be made into a mug rug, and the fabric goes back into my stash. I'm starting another list of UFOs as I find them. I think some will be like this one, but some I will want to work on finishing after I get this set done! I've noticed things are already looking a bit better and less chaotic, so that's a big win! Another big win is that I haven't missed any days of working on my WIP's for the WIPsBGone challenge! Am having fun filling in my coloring sheet each day! When this is over I might just have to start my own personal challenge.
My frustration this week has been that a credit card was compromised, and it's the one I use for a lot of bills! So I had to go in and change the account on all of them. What a pain! Plus, for some reason ICloud isn't syncing to my laptop anymore. That is really aggravating me, but I'll figure it out eventually. It does give me a good excuse to download things and organize them into files so I can find them when I need them, though. I hope this week is less frustrating and more sewing!
