WIP Wednesday: Disappearing Desire

I've skipped a couple of WIP Wednesdays and I almost skipped today, too! I knew this malaise would be coming on, but I thought I would make it through June before it really hit.

I tend to poop out of craft energy at some point during the year and that time is upon me. Since I am running a UFO challenge (see button at the top!) for June, I'm trying to hold out and finish up a few projects before I take a little sewing siesta.

So far I've managed to sandwich this quilt that has been a UFO for just over a year now. I'm only quilting in the tan blocks and so far I've got 2 rows out of 6 done.

I finally finished the top on the quilt for my husband. I was ambitiously thinking of having this completely done by Sunday, for Father's day. But I'm not really feeling like that is going to happen...

I'm about half way through on sewing up my double hourglass blocks for My Precious quilt. I really want this finished by August as that is when my sister is moving and it would be nice for her to take along to her new place.

I've been good about working on my swirly stars, more than half are sewn completely, while the rest are paired up and just need to be joined up.

And, I even managed a few more Sophie flower blocks, though not as many as I would have liked to have completed.

And finally, this little zakka pencil case I had started a couple of weeks ago. It should have been done long ago, but I did something wrong and have to undo the whole mushroom piece from the linen to fix, so that's been on the back burner, too.


I really wish I didn't feel so blah about sewing right now, as there are sooo many things I want to make! I got my first Mystery Block of the month in the mail today, Cut to Pieces is starting a Super Mario quilt quilt-a-long, there's purse palooza and dresden block something or other, not to mention all the zakka stuff, bags, totes, zippy things and on and on and on!

WIP Wednesday

The squares Denyse Schmidt squares I showed in my last WIP post have become this quilt top, which I am calling Summertime Blues. I did add a few spots of tomato red to the mix to break up all the blues and a few Dear Stella stripes in shades of blue and grey. I've been working on a pieced backing for this quilt and should have it all sandwiched up in the next day or two.

I also managed to finish 6 more of my Sophie blocks from the vintage sheet fat quarters. Well, not completely finish, I have to put the applique circles in the middle, but that will be my final step once all 30 blocks are all sewn up.

I did start work on a Zakka pencil case, but I did not take a picture of it. Other than that, I haven't worked on any of my previously mention WIP projects. I'm off until Tuesday, so hopefully I'll get a bunch of things completed. If all goes well, I hope to be announcing a little challenge next Wednesday, so stay tuned!

WIP Wednesday

For this Wednesday, I've a couple of new projects to add to my ongoing projects.
I've cut 240 of the 360 3.5" squares from my mostly blue Denyse Schmidt prints. I'm making a simple patchwork squares quilt with these. I may decide to add some grey prints in, haven't decided yet.

I also came to a decision on what to do with some of the prints that I won from Junette. I've picked the Sophie pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew. I thought it would be a great block to showcase the prints. Here's some of my squares cut up, and my first block.

And, I've made some progress on my My Precious quilt blocks. I have about half of the blocks cut into their triangle pieces and have 15 or so sewn into blocks. Here are a few of the blocks I've completed.

Not much progress on my previous WIPs, so no pictures for those.
