Well I always want to get stuff done but for the first time this year I'm really feeling good and wanting to make some dents in my 'To Sew' list. It's way too long and I've only crossed off one completed quilt!
completed
- Wing It to Hexagon Park
- I've made a block for Bee Blessed to answer Judith's call for Wonky Houses to go with the Pippi blocks :)
This is the first wonky house I've made and it has the most ridiculous chimney but oh well!! It has a cute cat floating (doh!) in the window...
and it has lovely grass!! Which was part of my great fabric win from a giveaway by M-R at Quilt Matters. I seriously love this chick! I must plot a way to get to Canada and visit her :)
Thank you so much my dear, they are so soft and the colours are brilliant. And how did you know I'd need some grass?! (customs people - honestly I'm just talking about the fabric!!)
ongoing
- I've made some progress with the Stained QAL, but still have my 3 and 4 blocks to make - here's a couple more blocks
I'm making the Stained for my guy friend, at first I was worried it was too floraly (yes that's a word now) but the more I put together the more masculine it seems to feel - I think the Charcoal sashing was a good choice. I'm really loving it :)
- Rose Star, 2 more blocks made (thanks to sunshine and a train ride to London to deliver the baby quilt!)
no progress:
I made the Pezzy top but haven't quilted it, I've finally got a bit of wadding (Frankensteined together from leftovers) so I'm basting it tonight and hoping to finish it up soon!
After that it's on to cushion making and more embroidery!!

What a great assortment of lovely projects!! I love the cat in the window! Great choice of music. Takes me back!
you have been busy!! Love the pezzy tops and those rose star blocks are amazing, great WIPs!!
Nothing wrong with the chimney nor the floating cat! Great quilt top which you must get finished and the stained is coming along nicely!
Lovey RS blocks - mine are so slow a the moment!
Love your pezzys and hexagons...fantastic!
Quilter's seem to have two lists. One is Projects to complete and the one is Projects we want to do. I have so many want to do's and the to complete are getting done slowly. Hexagon park is one that is on my want to do. Your guy quilt I like it. I just bought some of that fabric with the grey and yellow dots I love that fabric. That quilt will be so nice when all done.
I think a lot of us caved and bought more space on flickr....
Your work is fab honey, I'm loving it all, but especially that super classy stained ;-) x
As far as flickr are concerned, I am not buying it at the moment. Your images aren't lost, they are just in the drawer at the bottom at the back, so you would have to take everything else oput to look at them!
Anything on a group is left there, even if you cannot see it on your site. If you choose to pay up later, you will then see them again. So, for the present, I am leaving it so.
You may choose to buy. that would be ok too, as it isn't exactly an arm and a leg,- too much choice!
ya i basically stopped using my flickr account when that happened. i never looked into how much the upgrade cost, but i'll maybe do it eventually.
your progress looks lovely! good luck quilting your pezzy quilt :D
Love all your makes, and thank you for replacing the Batman theme (courtesy of Elizabeth) that was previously running through my head!
wowwee you have been busy!! Fantastic quilts :) and your wonky house blocks are soo cute! Yeh I'm not sure what to do about the whole flickr thing? really don't want to pay ...
It all looks so good, but I LOVE those stained glass blocks. It does look very masculine with the charcoal sashing. I love them.
I havn't done anything with my flickr account, it just doesn't show on my blog but all the pics are still there and I can carry on using it.
Love your stained!
Lovely work! And I totally adore that cat in the window, my cat spends half her life sitting at the window watching the world go by. What do cats think about all day I wonder?
Love the stains blocks and everything else you have pictured :)
The wonky house is very adorable! I get to be in a flickr bee with M-R and am looking forward to getting to know her better!
Loving your makes - I built a house this evening too.
PS. Upgrade to flickrPro!
Loving the Stained with that yellow Lark in there! I try to 'weed' out old photos from flickr, especially stuff received in swaps made by others! Probably should upgrade to Pro.
Wow you've been very busy! Love the stained quilt blocks! =D
Your wonky little house is awesome and so is the "floating" cat! Love it. And your stained blocks are looking fabulous. Great work Lucy!
Just upgrade to flickr pro, it's $25ish a year. I keep ALL my photos stored there -you can keep private photos private- because pictures take up so much room on computer hard drives and honestly, I'm not one to store them on disks or sticks or anything like that.
Oh love how your stained quilt is looking, and your rose stars too. I caved and upgraded my Flickr, but I'm thinking I might just go pro...
Frankensteined: Loving it! Beatles: Still loving it! Flickr storage issues? This is a new one on me. I'll be looking into this. Thanks for the heads up.
Beautiful fabric has been used for quilt.
You have done a very good job.
Exam Notes
What great blocks and tops you have going here. Makes me want to add a hex quilt to my work. The house is also adorable...
I've run out of space on blogger a few times and just delete old pics to free up space. Can you do that with flikr? (i dont do flikr so i dont actually know)
Wow, you've been busy! I love your hexagon quilt :-)
I love your RS blocks and the wonky house! (I love everything else in this post too!) I'm ignoring my Flickr issue at the moment...
wow! You have been SO busy - it all looks great!!
I love the wonky houses and the swoon blocks are beautiful. The pezzy quilt inspired me to purchase some to make something. I have an idea for a game, and want to know what you think? It might be fun! www.intheboondocks.blogspot.com
Great projects. Your Rose Stars are just amazing!
My Plan all year has been to get stuff done. So far it's still a plan :( Everything is looking so great. Love the sashing and the house and can't wait to see your rose and star finished.
What is the fabric with the
cat on it? Way too cute....

As always Lucy your projects are fantastic but I have to say your stained glass is heavenly! (sorry just realised a slight pun there!) The charcoal is perfect too!
Btw, I'm digging the new hairdo. So rad!
Just to say I shamelessly pinched your pussy cat idea for my Zakka house pouch - have now fessed up and given you due credit.x
