WIP Wednesday 10/29/2014


This week, I made a little more progress on my Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt. This section actually runs down the left side (I flipped the picture into a horizontal position.)  Below is the top section of the wall quilt now. (Click on any picture for a larger view.)


Finding stitching time has been particularly tricky this past week, so I did not make as much progress as I had hoped.  However, I am happy with what I did accomplish!

This next section is mostly for my benefit.  The total number of items on my lists has dropped from 22 to 19.  (To keep it under 20, I need to get to work this week.  Next week's post will have the addition of my CQJP 2014 November block being pieced, embellished and made into a purse...)

 Last Week's List of Goals:

 Short-term:

  1. Complete the wall quilt I plan to create with all of my CQI Winter/Christmas blocks. Complete quilting so it is ready to add the back and bind. You may see the progress above.
  2. Make a TAST post. Done. #135 - Beaded Fern Stitch
  3. Complete back for May CQJP 2014 block.
  4. Freebie Santa and the Mouse Ornament -  Heaven and Earth Designs chart by Michele Sayetta and artwork by Scott Gustafson. (I believe the ornament is a portion of the chart "Santa and the Mouse.") Complete 100 x-stitches by next week. I completed over 100 x stitches this week, filling in more of the cuff along the bottom of page 1 of the pattern.
  5. Embellish snowball for Nicki Lee
  6. Embellish snowball for Donna. Done! You may read about it by following the link shared in #7 on this list.
  7. On Thursday, share a post with a picture of the snowball I just received from Donna on Tuesday, 10/21/2014. If you missed it, you may see the post here.
  8. Piece and embellish a snowball for Lori by end of October. If you missed the post about the one she sent me, you may see it here.
  9. Share pictures of the gift I mailed after it has been received. This was a thank you gift.  I will share more about it in another post.
Long-term: 
  1. Make a purse with my April CQJP 2014 block.
  2. Make a purse with my May CQJP 2014 block.
  3. My CQJP 2013 May block - better late than never?! (It is referred to as Block 4 if you follow this link.)
  4. Have a count of at least 50,000 words for my CampNaNoWriMo novel.
  5. Embellish July CQJP 2014 block.
  6. Piece August CQJP 2014 block.
