STACKING UP SOME FINISHES - MY GOALS

3QTR Finishes are kicking off and yup I'm in!
Here are my stack of goals.

I am knocking out my 2014 Stash Bustin' projects.
I did NOT buy fabric (this year) for anything you see here!
ITS ALL STASH!

Let's start with Halloween...

A stack of traditional applique blocks from a guild swap.

(Amy Bradley Pattern)

Chop Chop I gotta wonky up these characters !

Setting in black sashing and need to kwilt and bind.

Kwilting will be tricky due to some embellishments

added to various blocks.   

2 charm packs from Moda and black 5" squares

Need to kwilt and bind. 

 Oh what wicked webs we weave for the backing!

 Christmas gifts??? Gotta check that 

 naughty or nice list for reciepients!

  A wall hanging (Sidelights Pattern) to kwilt and bind

Purchased this interesting piece of fabric about 6 years ago 

for a holiday purse.That never happened! 

Now it will be in a happening backing.    

I  Basic Gray "Blitzen" FQs were purchased 4 years ago.
Need to kwilt and bind. 

Who says batiks won't work in a modern design?

Does Santa know I'm a rebel?

My Nested Churn Dash needs kwilting and binding.





Ready for some baby kwilts?
Such happy fabrics keep me smiling and sewing!

Polar Bears in beautiful Red-Turquoise and White
Need to kwilt and bind.

and the backing is pieced from my stash

Noteworthy Baby is ready to kwilt and bind

The backing is just as fun as the front!
(sorry for the wrinkles - trying to beat the rain)

Alexander Henry is one of my favorite designers.
Crayon Car Commute makes a great BOY kwilt
ready to kwilt and bind

Fun ric-rack inserted with the blocks for baby play time. 

I refuse to buy backing...
I know I have stash that will work!
 SEE!




I sent the next top out for kwilting...I was exhausted after
a bunch of spring kwilting on the long arm!
Now called  "2twenty Thr3e" for the Moda fabric used.  

Check out the schematic, Michelle Mayton did!

If you live in Ohio..and want great work with best prices! 
Consider Michelle's long arm work for your next kwilt.
Just email me for info! 
(not being paid for this plug - I like her work)
  

I I picked out this luscious orange binding 
for the perfect POP of color and finish!

Will I get these all done?   
The stack isn't so scary with my flowers

  

I have a couple more but can't list right now...someone may be reading this and they are gifts!

What on your to do list?

DANCING DRAGONFLIES FINISHED

Yet another kwilt is completed.   

"Dancing Dragonflies" is a kwilt I now have in my
yellow, white and gray decorated bedroom  

It all began in January when I pulled 
20 "Lemon Tree" Berntex FQs from my stash.


The original Turning 20 Pattern is my favorite 
to use with fabric that needs to stand alone
and it is QUICK, EASY and a good size!  

Although I have used my Bernina to kwilt other Kwilts from this pattern

I long armed kwilted this one... 
You can see the backing on the top roller.  Black/gray with
a horizontal insert in a lighter gray (more stash)

used black thread in a simple meander
just dancing along with the dragonflies.


added binding and  "Dancing Dragonflies" is finished!
