WIP Wednesday/November Just Three

Happy Wednesday! I haven't been able to get to much stitching done in the last while but I do want to do a little recap of what I've been up to.

Since my last WIP recap, ...

I participated in the VMQG Kona Modern Quilts challenge. I got a FQ of one of Cynthia's prints in the Pacific colourway and made another pin cushion/thread catcher using Elizabeth Hartman's tutorial from Sew, Mama, Sew.

I finished an appliance cover for a good friend's KitchenAid stand mixer:

This instagram photo is all I've got right now - sorry it's so awful!

No wonder I feel like I've done sweet fanny all since my retreat - it's true! None of those projects was on the list. Oh well.

Now for my November Just Three recap. If you'll recall, my Three were:

1. Make project for VMQG Kona Modern Quilts challenge. YES!
2. Make item(s) for VMQG's table at Got Craft?. YES - a small bunting! (but no photo - oops!)
3. Enter at least 1 quilt in the QuiltCon quilt show. YES! I entered my confetti quilt and Sea Glass on Sand.

For December, I plan to:

1. Make a new outfit for each of G's Barbies - birthday or Christmas gift depending on when it gets done.
2. Make at least 2 of 5 teacher gifts.
3. Make myself a black pencil skirt.

So that's it from me right now - I'm finished two of the four full-day workshops I'm delivering this week. So far, so good. They're fun, but I'll be glad when I'm done. It's exhausting work!

  2. Oh! Your pincushion and thread catcher is so cute. I desperately need one of those. I keep picking up my baby and finding random threads all over him from rolling under my feet. I love the light blue fabric on it too!
