Holy comment love you guys! I am so joyfully overwhelmed by all the enthusiasm over my Blog-aversary giveaway! Two days to go and over 800 comments and lots of new readers. I am having so much fun reading all your comments! As far as favorite fabrics go, it seems anything Flea Market Fancy (big shock!) and in particular the seedling print is a clear winner. I was fairly sure anything by Heather Ross would be the second most popular, but her Goldfish in Bags print is far and away the most loved. Being a mushroom and gnome lover, that surprised me! Anyways, a big welcome to all of you who are new around here. Now the pressure is on to actually sew something!
So I decided to write out my list yesterday of everything I'm currently working on.......
it's a bit big and scary. I even forgot about a few to add and left off altogether a few I have classified into the "abandonment pile". And of course here I go again - having zero will power to resist starting yet another project. The new City Weekend line is just too pretty to not cut up.
Here are a couple of other new things I'm working on:
A quilt for my pug-loving best girl friend (inspired by Ashley's gorgeous quilt here),
a quilt made from the new Moda Bliss line (the top is all pieced now and just needs borders),
and my super secret swap piece for the Urban Home Goods Swap.
It's a wonder I'm getting anything done at all around here lately keeping up with Lucia! I'm pretty sure she has more energy than most! She is actually loving her new baby dolls I made her. See how gently she shoves the bottle into the baby's mouth? I have already had to repair one's embroidery and wipe raspberry goo off another's face (I admit a little cringing occured here) but they are meant to be played with after all!
So how many quilts do you have going right now? I hope to find a little time to wrap a few of these up soon.
See you Friday for the big winner announcement!
800 comments! You go girl. And to think I can say I knew you when... :)
ReplyDeleteI have two tops completed and waiting to be quilted, a baby quilt patiently waiting for binding, and a fourth quilt in the design process. Did I mention I have no time for any of this? :)
Seeing your list made me inspired to write a lits. It really helped to get it down on paper :) I have 8 quilts in various stages. Up until about a year ago I only ever had one at a time and then I discovered quilting blogs, quilt-a-longs, and so forth. Got to love being busy :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I have to many projects on my to do list and half way done list. I don't want to tell you. ;0p Embarassing. *blush*
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your urban home swap piece (and I'm hoping it has my name on it!.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrased to say the only quilt blocks in my wip pile are a set from one of my bees where I'm still waiting on a couple of blocks (since last october!!). I am quite bossy on myself and actually make myself finish each quilt before starting a new one (I know that is highly weird!).
The dolls are adorable, and their 'mama' is a cutie too!
ReplyDeleteI have been banging out my wips thankfully. But I still have 2 basted quilts, 5 in various stages of assembly, and 6 piles of fabric waiting their turn. yuck. And Im going to do Old Red Barn Co round 8 and it will cut ahead of most of those wips. :(
Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a long list... I updated my list the other day and felt rather sad how long ago I started some of them...Good thing school starts soon so I can get something done!
ReplyDeleteRasberry goo is always a good sign of doll love in that age :-)
ReplyDeleteI actually only have 3 quilts laying around at the moment (and about a million in my head ha ha)
Your Urban swap goodies looks great.
HMM, I have a wall quilt in the works-top is done, 2 twins one that has a backing made up and the other needs one yet and then of course they need to be sandwiched and quilted and bound!! That was a mouthful:) I also have an embroidery projects in the works too;)
ReplyDeleteoh man...right now i have at least 7 unfinished quilts and one that is on the table right now waiting for binding.
ReplyDeleteI try really hard to finish one quilt before starting the next....which means I currently have 5 in progress.
ReplyDeleteI need to get some of that City Weekend! Lovely.
I really have to think twice before I take one off the design board and stack it up when I start another - but I did that today. So that makes four in process... Love your new one. Oh I have a Bliss top with no borders yet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! (forgot to say that when I entered the give away) Also your blog banner makes me smile every time I see it as I love hexies and some of my fav' fabrics are in there!
ReplyDeleteOK...i don't really even want to own up to how many quilts I have started...do I have to go there? :)
ReplyDeleteI have a layer cake of the Bliss line, I'm scared to use it:) Your quilt will be gorgeous and inspire me! I am very curious about the secret project...
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt inspired by Ashley's "postcards in the park" quilt. I looks just a little bit random and oh-so-funky! :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteLucia is adorable & it is so sweet that she plays with the dolls you made! It is always heart warming when our kiddos like what we make. As for projects hummmm well I have too many going on and want to do more.
ReplyDeleteI have three quilts actually in progress and three more that I need to start and finish before I can work on the three in progress again. Quilt ministry quilts trump personal quilts! But they'll get done sooner or later!
ReplyDeleteI'm scared to comment on your blogversary, so YAY! CONGRATS!!! But you already know I adore you!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for in progress...yikes. I have two minis I need to finish for swaps, 2 custom baby quilts, a neptune coin quilt that I've quilted three times now and still aren't in love with!!! And then I have avocato that needs to be quilted. I feel like I need like, 90 more hrs a week!!!! xoxoo
Nice turnout for your giveaway post!!
ReplyDeleteI'm finishing up my pieces for the Urban Home Goods swap and if I manage to get those knocked out on the early side this weekend, I'm hoping to finish up a couple of quilt tops (one needs borders, the other needs 2 blocks and the final sew-together). I have two baby quilts basted and ready to quilt, it's just been too warm to consider quilting in lately! Just a feeew things on my docket!
happy blogaversary!! (i've been meaning to comment, but didn't want to enter for the fabric - I know someone else needs it more than I do!) I'm so glad you blog, and it makes me smile to think that I've been reading your blog since you started it! fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky postcards quilt you're working on - it's fabulous!! :)
Beautiful quilts! Those dolls are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree--its overwhelming to see how many projects we all have going on (and the many more planned in your head!) excited to see them come to fruition.
ReplyDeleteoooh! I love that new Bliss fabric you are using!! And that quilt design is new to me.... great wonky pattern!
