WIP round up.

My LQS hosted a mystery quiltalong on Saturday. I showed up with my precut strips and sewed and sewed and sewed. Despite my gargantuan effort I still didn't get the top completed. I still have more sewing to do. 

I've also been working on a Willy Wonka costume for Big C's school play. I have 8 Oompa-Loompas to do yet.

A fabulous dress I wore on Melbourne cup day. Yes, that lining is Beverly Hills 90210 vintage sheet. Thank you Jess for your awesome score.

 

 

A quilt that is a Christmas surprise so no further details on it at this stage. Still got to finish quilting and binding.

Quilt for MIL for Christmas. She doesn't read my blog so I'm safe here. Rooftop Garden by Moda. I really like this range. I found them on a trip to Tamworth where I also got to try out the Handy Quilter Sweet Sixteen. ZOMG I am in love. I need to sell my soul, but I will own this machine one day.

A quilt that was made from bee blocks from my favourite group of women. I'm thinking about giving this one to my Dad for Christmas. He can always use the little bit of love that a quilt brings. he's just gotten a new house and a manly blanket would be most welcome I'm sure.

My Echino quilt. Emma got me a fq pack for my birthday and I love it. It reminds me of India. I'd love to hand quilt this with bright pinks. Not sure if I'm up to it yet because it's going to be HUGE. No pics sorry

Bee blocks - annamal quilts. I got purple and green. I had to add a little from my stash as i didn't make the best use of fabric. I really hope she likes them. We're in two bees together this year. New Bee on the Block and Quilting Under the rainbow.

 

 

Wow, I have lots of WIPs. Can't talk, sewing.

Also,

 another foal. We call him Banny because of the bandaid shaped mark on his forehead.

Works in progress

Upon reading a friends blog about her WIP's I have decided to have a stocktake of my own.

1. Grey crochet throw - Only two balls to go. I'll probably gift this to my Aunt.

2. First socks - One sock finished, secon 1/4 done. Mine, all mine

3. Green Scarf of many mistakes - Still got a long way to go withthis one and I am terrible at knitting lace. I love the green though.

4. Mohair G-string - Only about 2 feet of i-cord to go. Definitely going to my friend because she's kinky and will like it.

5. Granny bag - Once more square to make ends to weave in and lining to sew. Not sure what to do about a handle though. Gifting this one too.

6. Hexagon scarf - Boring me to death, I haven't touched this in over a year. My eldest likes it so I'll probably give it to her.

7. Blue socks - Almost done. Making these two at a time which I have decided is my style. Only a couple more rows and I can bind off.

8. Dragonfly shawl - On the edging, that said each row gets bigger than the last. This was supposed to be for my mother's wedding last May but meh! I'm lazy what can I say and I lost it for ages then I lost the pattern.

9. Pirate tri-corn - I love mindless crochet, I hopw it all turns out in the felt. Going to my brother. I'm sure he'll appreciate a hat as thick as a bear in the tropics.

I'm endeavouring to keep my WIP's under five from now on and will not cast on anything else until I finish an object. I have a terrible knack of starting a million things and finishing nothing. I'd like to churn out some objects instead of driving my family nuts with so many bags of yarn lying about the place.
