I've been really good about starting sewing projects recently, but pretty horrible about actually finishing them. I have two lap-sized quilt tops that are finished - I just need to add the batting, the backing and binding, and decide whether I want to attempt to really quilt them or just tie them off like I normally do. I also saw a pattern for a quilt that I couldn't resist trying: 9 Patchtastic Quilt. I ordered some charm packs and was wondering what I really wanted to do with them, so I was happy to come across this pattern. I'll take some pictures of the squares (during the day when there is decent light) and post them soon.
Other projects I have in the works or am thinking of starting soon:
* Laptop sleeve for Mom - I finally found a pattern instead of having to try to figure it out myself
* A cover for my sewing machine - it didn't come with a cover so I got some great lightweight canvas a while ago and have been meaning to make a cover. I think it will be a quick project, if I can finally get it started.
* Covers for the chair cushions - again, I bought the fabric ages ago and have been looking at it, knowing I need to make them. I'm getting ready to move to my new apartment next month, so it would be nice to have them finished in time for that.
* Mom's quilt - I'm still slowly but surely working on this quilt. It is going to be big and it still feels overwhelming at times. I've almost run out of space to be able to lay it out on my living room floor, so I may have to wait until I move to my new apartment where I'll have more space to lay it out.
* Flannel quilt - I got some great flannel fabric on sale this past week and I want to make what I hope will be a quick, easy quilt with it. I figured it would be good to take to camp.
Sounds like plenty to keep me busy...
Anybody still out there?
