Finished my Knotted Squares Quilt. Now I can work on my quilt as you go T-Shirt quilt. Looking forward to making my wonkey blocks for this quilt. I don't think I'll finish before Labor Day, but when it's all said and done I think I got a lot accomplished this summer.

Hello Ladies, so I have put a significant dent in my summer sewing projects I have finished three bags (Amy Butler's Birdie sling, Frenchy shoulder and Frenchy handbag. I finished three quilt tops Rows of Bricks (from Skip the Borders book), Inversion and Brownstone). I am working on the last two, Knotted Squares (from the Modern Basics book) and a quilt as you go T-shirt quilt. I will finish Knotted Squares this week and work on my T-shirt QAYA for the remainder of the summer. Phew, that was a lot of work in between bouts of no motivation (the summer sun was just too distracting), but I'm getting it done.

Melody, 2 are gifts, 1 is just for fun and 2 are samples for my fall classes. I have one quilt almost done and the others are in the cutting & block piecing phase. I am 2/3rds done with the 3 bags and finished a couple sets of pot holders. I hit a wall this week. Trying to get motivated again. Guess I needed a break. I gotta get back to it, it is so easy to get distracted. Gonna start cutting again ... that'll make me miss my machine :-)

Wow...you are ambitious.  I am too, in theory.  But here I am in bed writing blog posts instead of sewing lol.

Are you thinking of five full-sized quilts?  Are they gifts you are trying to finish?

LOL Brenda, I have a medal sewing guide and can see how it could be viewed as a weird screwdriver. Your workshop sounds like a lot of fun. I love using all the stitches and feet on my machine. It opens up so many new and exciting possibilities. Have fun!!

Oh, Brenda, I can SO relate...........I have no idea about all the feet and tools that belong to my machine.  Sometimes I fantasize about all the wonderful things I could do if I knew exactly how to use all those feet.

You have only 5 projects to finish - I wish I were so lucky! My list continues to grow. And if I organize myself and sewing room, I find more ideas or UFOs. Yikes!

I am taking a workshop, to make a quilt, but the thrust of the workshop is to learn to use all the feet, tools and stitches on my machine. So far, I have discovered that a little metal piece which I thought must be some sort of screwdriver, has in reality turned out to be a sewing guide! Love it!
