Katy is hosting a Link-Up with prizes to help motivate us to finally get any of our long-term projects completed. Feel free to join in: visit her blog here for all the details.
My Finish-Along goals for Q3
1. My sister's quilt. Argh! I really had hoped to get this done much earlier in the year, but I keep procrastinating and putting it off. I really did want it finished in time for her to snuggle under it during the Australian winter, so hopefully it will get there at least before the daffodils open!
2. I recently bought a fat quarter bundle from Anna Maria Horner's new fabric line Pretty Potent, and have deliberated long and hard over what to do with it. I've finally decided on a pattern, and once some coordinating solids get decided upon, I am going to start cutting into these lovely fabrics!

3. I have finished all nine of the Swoon blocks, and have sashed them together. This quarter I aim to finish the quilting and binding and have it complete!

4. I have had these Harris Tweed remnants for well over a year now, but have finally purchased cushions to go inside them so I have no more excuses to leave them undone.
5. Will this finally be the quarter when I finish my needle-turn applique quilt???? Oh I do hope so!
6. Earlier in the year I bought some gorgeous organic voile from The Village Haberdashery, it is Flight by Birch fabrics. I have wondered what to make from it for quite a while, and have finally decided on a dress pattern. I do hope to finish this in time for a holiday in August.
So, that is my list of proposed finishes for the third quarter of 2014. I'll be linking up with the Finish-Along over at The Littlest Thistle.
those are some fabulous projects! Love that dress - muslin the bodice - it's a bit blousy in the back. but your sister's quilt is stunning! as are the rest. Happy sewing. g

ReplyDeleteYou bought the voile too? Of course you did! It will be gorgeous! GMarie is right. Sew Dixie Lou posted this dress this week and said as much about the bodice (http://www.sewdixielou.com/2014/07/the-gillian-dress-mccalls-6696-sequel.html).
