Summer 2023 Finishes

 Nine months out of the year I am an intervention RTI teacher but in the summer months I am a full time quilter.  I sew as much as I can in between being a wife and a mother/grandmother.  I haven't shown my summertime finishes in a while and I wanted to share some of the things I have made.  Not everyone would like for me to share their t-shirt/memory quilts so I will just tell you how many I made since June 1st.

I've made 12 T-shirt quilts!  (If you'd like more info on getting your own t-shirt quilt made check here: https://zeedlebeez.etsy.com

Plus I made 5 vintage hanky rag quilts:

   

I also made a couple vintage hanky/linen pillows and table runner:

I made only one baby minky blanket:

I made a couple needle books and crochet hook wrap:

 

   

I made a few Halloween items:

 

And I made some mug rugs and a placemat that I had started years ago:

   

And finally some miscellaneous pretty useful things:

These are tea wallets that my daughter (@thekotholetree) designed the fabric!

2015 Orders and Finishes

I came into the New Year with 23 custom quilt orders.  So far I have gotten 6 finished.

I wanted to show you the one I finished today.  This is a King size black and white rag quilt shown on a Queen size bed.  It's only partially cut and it has not been washed yet.  I was just so excited to have finished it,  took this picture:

Here are the others that I have finished.

I look forward sharing the rest of the quilts when I finish each, so be sure to check back. 

Procrasti-quilting

All of a sudden I have so many pending projects.  I got an order for two baby rag quilts and one baby clothes memory quilt and one for the ultra challenging  Methodist flag and cross rag quilt.  So what do I do?  I procrasti-quilt.

Here's what I've done:

 I made a gold, cream and black holiday table runner

 A country flannel cranberry roses table runner

  

I started making the ragged letters of the alphabet for my grandbaby.

I worked a little bit on my I Spy quilt, trying to decide on the borders and wondering if I should do it as a disappearing 9 block...

I made three of these that I found on Pinterest for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party.

And just so you don't think I did nothing on the commissioned quilts, I did cut and fuse all the baby clothes and I'm trying to decide on borders.  I ordered fabric and cut squares for one of the baby rags.   I have been searching for the perfect winnie the pooh fabric for another.  And I looked at the picture of the Methodist quilt and just shook my head...

Do you get a lot of things done when you procrasti-quilt?
