Finish it up Challenge- Week 4 check in

Scrappy Paper Pieced String Quilt Top

Well.  Let's see.  I did have a quilt finish this week but it was not on my official list but I added it on and also added the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along!  I finished the blue vintage sheet quilt and I am up to date on the Famer's Wife with 14 blocks completed.  And as you can see above, I have completed the top for the string quilt, made entirely of scraps.  I am relieved that this is to this point because I was seriously tired of making these blocks and staring at scraps in a box.  I am planning to get this sandwiched and quilted in the next few days.  I will be most delighted to strike this one off the list!

My work in progress list includes...

1) Paper pieced scrappy string quilt  (now a quilt top!)

2)  Clovers or Card Tricks quilt

3)  Sparkling Cider Vintage Sheet Quilt

4)  Fresh Flowers Quilt (only just cut out!!!)   Now a quilt top!

5)  A hexie pillow cover

add ons to the list...

6) Vintage sheet quilt in blue

7) Farmer's Wife Quilt Along  (week 7-14 blocks finished and up to date)

So all in all, a good week!  Check out all the other finish ups over at Meg's and have a super weekend!

Finish Up- Week 3

Here we are at week 3 of the Finish It Up Challenge.  This week I finished the Hexie pillow cover.  This was an interesting finish because yesterday was my last day of work for the summer and after unpacking my office at my new school plus who knows what, I was so tired last evening that I fell asleep with a needle in my hand.  Husband came and rescued me from certain injury.  I did finish it though!  It is a rather large pillow at about 20" square and I need to find a better pillow form for it but it is DONE!

My work in progress list includes...

1) Paper pieced scrappy string quilt

2)  Clovers or Card Tricks quilt

3)  Sparkling Cider Vintage Sheet Quilt

4)  Fresh Flowers Quilt (only just cut out!!!)   Now a quilt top!

5)  A hexie pillow cover

I also finished the blue vintage sheet quilt top but this is not officially on my list because it was spur of the moment fun quilt.  The picture of it is down below.  Just a sneak peak.  This past week I also made several scrappy paper pieced string blocks for the string block quilt that is on my list. 

I included a picture of our blueberries which are also a work in progress (not on the list... he he he).  The very cool, wet spring is delaying the ripening of both our blueberries and our raspberries.  

And finally, today is our 28th wedding anniversary!  Quite incredible.  Husband says it is longer than a life sentence.  He is just too funny!  

I will be linking up to Meg's Finish It Up challenge check in.... don't forget to check in and see what other people have been working on!

We celebrated Canada Day picking strawberries at a local U-Pick farm.  The farm has a fabulous bakery attached to it and they make crazy mile high strawberry pies!  Yummy looking, or what???
