WIPs with Friends Thursday

Sorry for missing WIP Wednesday but I was out of town.  

My sister was having some surgery and I had to be there to make sure she was alright.  

I was and she was so here we are on WIP Thursday instead.

I am freaking out a little bit about all of the commitments I have for this month.  

What is wrong with me?  I know the word no but rarely use it, LOL.  

So what have I been working on?

I managed to sew my May bee blocks up and put them in the mail.

Every month I try to sew at least 2 Scrappy Triangles and this month I got 4 done!  

Two in each color way!

So that's it for me for this week.  I have been at the hospital or driving the rest of the time.

What are YOU working on?  Please post your current projects for us to see!

WIPs With Friends the Thursday Edition

Sorry guys, for not posting yesterday.  

I was at the hospital with my son.  

He had his IVC filter removed yesterday through his Juggler Vein! 

 It went well but it was a bit scary for him (and us).

I have been working on a few things so that I would have time to work on 

my center for my traveling quilt.

I sent my flying geese blocks and the woman that received all our bee blocks put this together.  

Looks pretty sweet so far!

I'm in a Tula Granny Square group and this is my first block in the series.  

We are going to be doing one per month. 

 The leader challenged us to use non-white backgrounds and supplied the center squares for all of us.

I got 3 more Ocean Waves block components sewn and trimmed.  

I also made one more OW block so now I am up to 20!

I got 2 sets of Scrappy Triangle blocks finished.

I got my April bee blocks finished, just need to mail them.

I joined in the scrappy vortex 100 days project on IG.  

I'm pretty sure I can sew pairs together for awhile.  

If you need to see the scrappy vortex you can see what it is on Crazy Mom Quilts blog.

Next up is pulling scraps and trimming them so I can sew some more together.  

I am finding them in layers, as projects finished.  

This means I have to mix them up or my quilt will be pretty strange looking with chunks of colors rather than all over scrappy goodness!

I am going to post the link up here and you should link whatever you are working on at the moment.

WIPs With Friends

I did an amazing amount of sewing this past weekend!

 YAY for lazy weekends.  

Am I right?

As I may have stated previously, I set up a spread sheet with

 monthly goals between myself and some of my friends.  

I have finished most of my February goals!  

Woo Hoo!  

Here we go.

One of the goals was to make 2 of the blocks from the Year of Scrappy Triangles. 

 I decided to make them starting with the first pattern.  

I have an old WIP that needs borders so these will turn into the borders for that quilt.

I managed to finish the Chubby Chicks quilt top!!!  

That has been in a box for a very long time!

When I opened the box and started on it again, 

everything was cut out and only the chicks were fused.

This is such a darling quilt.  

Couldn't you see this using Bonnie and Camille fabrics??

Since I am *trying* to sew from my stash I found this beautiful vintage sheet to use for the back.

I had one chick and one pinwheel left over, so I made another of each.  

I decided to make a pillow out of these left overs. 

 I wanted to add rick rack.  

I tired yellow, green and orange (it's the colors I had) and I was so not sure. 

 I ended up taking a picture of each and ended up liking the orange so much better!  

This is the project I was trying to quilt that Cole was "helping" me with.  

In case you are wondering, I used some Grabaroos gloves to do both the outlining and the quilting.  They make BOTH of these things so much easier! 

 You can find them here.  

They are amazing!

I need to trim it and make the envelope back next. 

 I will measure the quilt backing and hope to be able to use the same fabric for the back of the pillow.  I will follow Amanda Jean's directions for making the envelope back.

I will be linking up with Sew Fresh Quilts.

Now it is your turn. 

 PLEASE link up what you are working on, or something you have finished.  

It may be any project not just restricted to quilts.
