Make-A-List Monday - Crunch Time! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Another week has come and gone, and the end of the year is coming up so fast! Hard to believe that it's already October, isn't it? And so much is going on in the next few weeks - I really need to get my thoughts together and make a comprehensive to-do list and STICK BY IT!

But first, let's see what I managed to do on last week's list...

1. Baste the two commission quilts.

2. Quilt the two commission quilts.

Done! Both of these are ready for delivery - hooray!! No more commission work until ...

Make-A-List Monday - Back In The Real World! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, it's been a few weeks since I did a Make-A-List Monday post - but don't think I've been slacking off! OK, well, I did slack off a little bit during vacation, but I had fun sewing on things I *wanted* to work on rather on things I *needed* to work on. First up was this Plaidish quilt...

...which I finished while on vacation. That was a fun bit of sewing and I will definitely be making more of these! Then I worked on the reindeer blocks that eventually ended up in this top...

Isn't ...

Make-A-List Monday - Wishin' and Hopin'... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Monday, Monday... the start of a new week and a new list of tasks! I had a busy week last week but didn't even look at my list after I wrote it, so I have no idea if I met any of those goals... so let's find out!

1. Make a plan and write estimates for two new customer quilts.

Done! The customer liked the idea and the price, so I'm good to go this week. Here's a pic of what I have planned...

The white areas will be for t-shirts and memory fabrics ...

Make-A-List Monday - Productivity Rocks! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Mondays just seem to keep showing up, don't they? But I feel like I had a very productive week last week, so it was a good week. And Monday gives us a new start, which is always a good thing. Let's see how last week went!

One of the first things on my list was to work on cutting out Lilli's Harry Potter quilt. I'm happy to say that I have finally finished cutting out all the blocks...

...and I made all of the paper-pieced rooftops for the castle block. Oh, how I hate ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Lots Going On! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, here it is, Friday again, can you believe it? The weeks are just flying by, it seems. But Friday means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on, so let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

First up is this t-shirt quilt for a young man who just lost his dad unexpectedly. One of his mom's friends commissioned this quilt and I was honored to be part of its story.

Pretty blues make this a cheerful quilt, and one I hope he will enjoy for many years to come.

I love the texture simple straight line ...

Make-A-List Monday - Slowly Getting Back to Normal... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Last week flew by, didn't it? But I got lots and lots done and I'm finally starting to feel like things are beginning to get back to normal, just a little bit. Are you starting to feel that way too, or are things still out of whack for you?

Strange things happened last week - like my missing batting (ordered on May 9th!) finally turning up!

I won't bore you with the whole story, but suffice it to say I won't be ordering again from Joann.com any time soon! I'm mainly just glad ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? A Finish!! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Here we are at Friday again! No matter how confused I may be during the week about what day it is, I always make sure to remember when Friday rolls around, because it's the best day of the week - the day we get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready? Then let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Today I am tickled to death to have an honest-to-goodness finish! I've been working on a t-shirt quilt for a while now, off and on in between other projects that needed to be done first. It started off like this....

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? A Fine Start... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, here it is, Friday again - and, at least unofficially, summer has arrived! This has truly been the strangest year, hasn't it? And it's almost halfway over. But strange or not, it's Friday, and that means it's time to get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready? Then let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

My week started off pretty normal - I had a t-shirt commission quilt to work on so I started bright and early Tuesday morning deconstructing shirts and making the blocks. By Wednesday afternoon, I had a rough layout set out....

Make A List Monday - Losing Track of Time from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My husband (who has been working at home) decided to take four days, a long weekend, for the holiday and we have been doing some different things while he has been "off". And quite honestly, I lost track of my days. It just occurred to me that it is Monday, and a posting day - oops! It took a while to get used to our new "normal" but once I caught the rhythm, it was a little easier. Now I need to get back into the rhythm again after ...

Make-A-List Monday - What's Next? from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Welcome to another Monday - it still kind of feels like things are the same as they were, even though restrictions are being eased around here. We still feel like it's safer to stay in, and Bill will still be working from home, so life isn't going to change much around here. I'm still trying out new recipes (ramen in the instant pot is the bomb, guys!) and we're having a family night at least once a week with Nancy and the kids. Some things have changed for the better!

Are you finding something similar ...

Make-A-List Monday - Quite a Week! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Yes, it's Monday. Or Thatotherday, if you are using the COVID-19 calendar! And it's been quite a week around here. Let me share a little bit of what's been going on...

Face masks! These are going to a local nursing home where the residents are finally going to be able to eat lunch together on Tuesday!

And more face masks! These don't have a specific purpose (yet) but I'm sure that they will be needed soon. I've taken to cutting a bunch of 8" squares and keeping them stacked by my sewing ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Making Progress.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Happy May Day! Bet you thought April would n-e-v-e-r end, right? And it may stay April on my whiteboard calendar - because I managed to pick up a sharpie instead of a whiteboard marker when I filled in the dates last month! Oops..... Oh well, along with the first of May it's a Friday, and you know what that means - time for us to get our whoop whoop on! So let's get started!

I May Have A Scrap Problem... Waste Not, Want Not! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Do you ever have trouble throwing away leftovers from a project? Ha! I think that's why all of us are in the "overflowing scrap bin" boat! Well, Tuesday I spent the day making t-shirt quilt blocks....

...and by the way, I am loving having a design floor! This quilt is going to be a monster - queen size - and having a room that is only mine, with floor space to spare, makes it so easy to lay it out. And as an added bonus, the dog absolutely refuses to come upstairs, so I don't have to worry ...

Different Styles of T-shirt Quilts from Quilted Joy

There are lots of different styles of T-shirt quilts and they are all the rage today. You can get a t-shirt at any event, sometimes included with the price of admission. Keeping all those shirts can really take a lot of room in your storage spaces and for what? You might never wear them again. The following quilts from our longarm machine renters are some great examples of ways to layout and quilt a t-shirt quilt.

Never Time To Get Bored from Quilty Folk

It's been a hand work sort of week. There are now 10 out of 30 of the Autumnal tulip blocks with flowers ready for leaves. The shape, size and color of which is totally up in the air. I'm loving the sweet look to these, but wondering why I settled on 30 as the perfect number to make? Might have to ratchet it down to 20 in order to ever properly finish up.

Still plodding along on the quilting for Blue Plumes. It seemed ...

OMG - I woke up this morning and (after my coffee and a little while to get my eyes open) realized that IT IS FRIDAY AND I HAVEN'T WRITTEN MY BLOGPOST! So I get a big "whoops whoops" today, for sure! But because it's Friday, that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - so let's get started!

Well, I didn't complete it, but the top and back are ready to be sandwiched and quilted later this week!

Meandering Around with our Longarm Renters from Quilted Joy

One of the quilting world’s staple designs is the meander. Sometimes we don’t even think of the meander as a design. It is just a single line wiggling all over the quilt. The word meander actually comes from the name of a river in south western Turkey that has a lot of twists and turns. Now it just means to follow a winding course. However you define it, on a quilt it means a quilting texture that doesn’t add an additional design to the top. It is just nice and neutral. The following quilts are some of ...
