I think I have sewn more stuff in the last month than I sewed the rest of the year! I have really been on a roll with a lot of different projects and have more in the planning stages.
I completed this blue quilt for my son.....I call it "Underground Blues".
I thought I took a photo of it when it was finished, but I guess I was so anxious to get all the cat hair off of it that I folded it up after I rolled it good and forgot to take a photo. He is getting ready to move into an apartment, so maybe I can get a photo once it is on his bed.
Another corner shot of it. I made him three pillowcases to go with it, as well. I love making pillowcases!
I made this pair for my husband and me. I saw that cool black fabric with the planes and zeppelins and knew he would love it. So I dug around in my stash and found that black and white paisley to make me a case. Mine has a black border with cat paw prints on it in honor of Hopey, who "puts us to bed" every night :-)
While I was in the pillowcase making mood.....I made the Grinch case for Mike and will find something green to make me a Christmas one to go with it. The other pair were just a way to use some fabric I've had for a long time (the yellow is the band, the green floral the case), and the black ones behind them match the border of the quilt that you see on that bed......sort of. They have bands of that dotted fabric.
I made two "Angel Quilts" for our quilt guild....they give them to the local hospitals. These really went together fast. Since I had extra pieces I made another slightly larger one for my sister's newest granddaughter and a doll quilt and pillow for her 4 year old sister.
I finally started working on the stocking for the same great-niece. Got all the fabric and trims on, now I get to do the fun part...the crazy quilt stitching!
I found a cute pattern for a little Christmas table topper in an old magazine and have finished one....the top one...and have two others waiting for the binding. These will be Christmas gifts when done.
I made a stack of wine glass coasters in Christmas fabrics, too for gifts. These are fun to make! They slip over the foot of the wine glass so you are carrying around your coaster and also marking your glass so you know which one is yours. I've made others from wine design fabrics and batiks.
I'm starting a new quilt.....a blue and white one....so I have been cutting squares of fabric in two sizes. I have enough blue and need to cut lots of white ones yet!
*****************
The orange quilt in the post below is now at the quilters, so I will be finishing that up soon. I have a dozen other projects in my head at the moment and just hope all this inspiration lasts and I keep working at these things! Of course, I'm not getting much blogging done.........
