2017 Finish=A-Long

I don't quilt.  I want to quilt but I don't have the patience AND I'm very particular so trying to put multiple fabrics together that don't neccesarily 'match' or overlook the occasional crooked stitch drives me nuts.   However,  I love the fabrics and the designs and the end product so I'm going to give it a try. Baby steps...  maybe not even a quilt but something, anything....

My mom on the other hand is an amazing quilter.  You can find her at The Shy One Sews.  She was preparing her list for the 2017 Finish-A-Long and I decided I was going to join in.

Here's what I've got so far...



(1) This Fox softie will be a gift for my niece Riley.  I was so proud of myself for putting together 8 different fabrics!

(2) Since Valentines Day falls in this quarter, I'm working on a pillow.  I am hoping to use the 'Dear Heart' collection by Riley Blake if I can find it locally.  I have some backup fabrics chosen just in case.

(3) Easter is coming up quick after Valentines so I should finish the easter buckets.  This is one of the interior fabrics..

I could really use some new oven mitts (4) and potholders (5) so I'll get around to those.
I'm using these patterns and fabric rescued from the donation pile...

Excited to dust off the sewing machine!
