WIP's

Maybe these are really QIP's....quilts in progress

On top, all cut out and ready to stitch, is a free pattern from Oliver & S for the Modern Workshop line of fabulous fabrics. In the next few images is the quilt from The Practical Guide to Patchwork  by Elizabeth Hartman,' Rain or Shine' and 'Little Leaves'.

 I purchased a fat quarter set, "Tea with the Queen' from the sweet gals from Alewives Fabrics in Maine and am able to sew 3 quilt tops with the addition of solid/background fabric. I love how they select fabrics and I still have not yet developed that skill. With the remaining fabric I realized that I could cut out strips and still had scraps left over. With these I began tracing and cutting then ironing a bunch of leaves for Ms Hartman's pattern 'Little Leaves' from the same book. I do some of this while watching hockey....Go Canucks!

I am still putting my room together. I wanted to be able to hang the quilts in progress so I found these Umbra magnetic strips and I purchased an extra set of mighty magnets. No pin holes and I can hang individual blocks, strips or a whole quilt front. My room is coming along. It is desperate need of some editing....maybe this weekend I will come up with a plan.

Thanks for stopping by
