End of Month Report - November

Not quite as many finishes in November, compared to October, but there's starting to be more things piled on the "to bind" list. I usually bind right away, so this is the first time that list really exists!

Finished:


Quilted:
Loopy, started and nearly finished last week, is my NewFO.

Piecing:
Squadron T-Shirt Quilt - the center is pieced and the borders will go on tomorrow. Scheduled for quilting on Wednesday, and will hopefully be bound and in the mail by the end of the week! Take that, Christmas.

And my leftover Swoon HSTs are slowly becoming Sweet and Sassy.

Life:
CC is constantly and continually a pain in the butt.

The Dude had a glowing report at parent/teacher conferences, and thinks multiplication is the easiest thing in the world. We both let our inner nerd fly at the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special in theaters. {Okay, it's not an inner nerd.}

We got word that our paperwork was delayed in Korea, so now it looks like travel will be even later into 2014 - mid-February at best. Instead of pounding my head into a wall, I signed up for a half marathon and I'm pounding my feet on the pavement.

And if I could count all the words in this post, I would probably be done with my Nanowrimo.

Weekly Progress - Christmas Sewing

I finished my Thanksgivukkah sewing last week, so it was time to plow right on ahead with Christmas. Luckily everything for that is pretty easy and already scheduled for quilting. Deadlines! Woo!

Finished

In Progress
Squadron T-Shirt Quilt - all cut out and ready to be pieced

If you are my older sister, stop reading here!
Holiday Sheep - border #1 on, border #2 cut, border #3 pressed

I forgot to take a picture, but I also quilted Frolicking Pinwheels and Nine-Patch Snowballs last week. The Pinwheels might go back for more, but if I have time, 9PS will be bound this week.

Rainbow Boats - Finished!

Are you getting tired of finishes? Too bad, I've got a bunch more to come.


Rainbow Boats - 42x48"

A wall hanging for my mother's neighbor.

Applique is so not my forte - I definitely enjoyed piecing the boats more!

I had some fun with the quilting - added rays to the sun, and clouds in the sky.

And you can barely see it {maybe if you squint?} but I added little crystals to the rain lines to look like raindrops. It was a pain in the butt, but so, so worth it. The twinkles in the sunlight were perfect!

I don't remember any of the fabrics - the background is a sky print, the water is a waves fat quarter with no selvage, and everything came from stash/scraps.

I quilted TWO more tops this week, and I'm scheduled to quilt every Wednesday until Christmas, so get used to these finished posts. It's a little weird to be finishing quilts, not tops. I might even catch up to my UFO list someday!

Weekly Progress - Wall Hangings

The best laid plans... I was supposed to finish off this week with a doll dress class, but the Dude decided Friday was for puking.

Instead, I just finished off two wall hangings.

Gobble Gobble is totally done.


And Rainbow Boats is bound and being blinged.

And that's about it.

I'm scheduled to quilt every Wednesday from now till Christmas, so I'm going through backings and nearly-done projects and projects-that-need-to-be-done. Trying to stay organized!

I have a really itching to start something completely new and not for anyone...probably because I've had a bunch of finishes. I deserve it! But I'm trying to hold off, because goodness knows I need the finishes more.
