W.I.P. Wednesday #11

I'm back in action!

3 day work week this week, so I'm definitely planning to take advantage of Thursday and Friday with some serious sewing time!

Works in Progress:

1. Swoon - I'm swooning again!! :) 2 more blocks almost completed, i'll show you the finished products this week I hope

2. My 1st tutorial - stay tuned!

3. Christmas Surprise Quilt - top DONE! I'll baste and quilt this week hopefully -- this is one of those need to see finished products quilts, so I'm hesitant to show you more than I already have..

4. Elf Wall Hanging - basted, needs to be quilted and bound!

5. Christmas Scrappy Quilt - made from leftovers of this quilt -- no progress

Finished - 0

On Hold -

1. Spanish Tiles

2. Houndstooth

New - Too many to count, but I'm refraining starting any until I at least finish 1-2 more :)

Despite the lack of finishes and the fact that I'm probably boring all of you with the SAME pictures 

(i know, i know i'm sorry!!) I've been feverishly working on my first tutorial for all of you and it's done, just have to write it up -- hopefully this week!

It's something for the holidays! :)

As always, I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced :)

Christmas Runner

So I finished my table runner for the Modern Christmas table Runner Swap but realized I never showed it!

Since I was a bit under the weather this weekend I didn't really start sewing until last night,

I did however finish my quilt top for my Christmas surprise quilt, but I want to wait till its completely done to show you :)

Straight line machine quilting following the zig-zags

Then I also had to show you this.

Found it at Joanns this weekend!

 Since my FMQing will NOT be at this level by Christmas, 

I cheated and bought some to make a simple runner for our kitchen table.

As always, I'm linking up this week, check out the participating in link on the top of the blog.

Until next time..

Weekend Sewing

This weekend will be filled with good things

This just arrived in the mail today!

I won it from FatQuarter Shop by recognizing Pat Wys in a picture from the Quilt Market -- guess all my picture stalking looking paid off :)

and this..

Think my students may have finally gotten me sick.. hoping to kick it off before it settles in

(Barry's Tea - we can actually get it in the states as of recently and not just in specialty shops!!)

Sneak peek of my surprise Christmas quilt top. 

Just about done with the top, I'm struggling with the borders so I may need some opinions come Monday!

Hope this finds you and yours doing well!

Enjoy your weekend
