WIP Wednesday: June 29, 2011

Nicer weather has resulted in less sewing recently. I can’t complain, really, as I sorely needed the sunshine and fresh air. I did manage to make progress on a few projects.

Check out Freshly Pieced for more WIP Wednesday goodness.

Current Projects

Warm Cool Quilt Along: I started the Warm Cool Quilt Along at In Color Order this week. I made all the Half-Square Triangles. The next step is trimming. I am woefully behind as this week’s Quilt Along post was about quilting.

Yellow Brick Road Baby Quilt #2:  The binding is now ready to be sewn onto the quilt.

Call Me Crazy {17/42 blocks complete}: One more block completed this week! I am running out of scrap options.

Sixth Finish of 2011: Unicorn Pillowcase

A couple of weeks ago, I finished my unicorn pillowcase. This project was more about the process than the end result. I bought the unicorn transfers from Sublime Stitching. I intended the unicorns to be nostalgic and/or ironic and they turned out on the childish side instead. As such, this pillowcase ended up in the nursery instead of on my pillow. I really enjoyed stitching it, though. As I was working on it, I learned a new stitch (chain stitch) and relearned another one (French knot). Now I have to decide what pattern I want on my next pillowcase.
