August goal : A Lovely year of Finishes

Part of the 'A Lovely Year of Finishes' post

Hello Everyone!

 

Yeahh !!  another project  finished...But once again I have to admit that this is just another UFO project that takes me two months to accomplished. It is the goal that I set for July and August for "A Lovely Year of Finishes" which is the Jacob's Ladder quilt top and here is the result.... 

 

I find that sewing these quilt top is the most difficult to compare with other quilts that I had done before.  There are  many small and tiny pieces that require your patience when sewing them together.  Anyway I love the result even though not perfect but I feel happy that I finished it.

 

Happy Sewing!

A Year of Finishes : August goal setting

Hi Everyone!

Once again...here I am setting a monthly goal to accomplish.   Same as previous month I don't make much progress with my July goal.  So for August it  will remain the same goal setting...which is to complete the Jacob's Ladder quilt top...Basically I only have to sew the border to have the top finished and done... time was not on my side.  So here is my progress so far with my last month goal... which I'm looking forward to have it finished in August.

 

 

The fabric that I will use for the border.

Happy Sewing!!

A Year of Finishes : July 2013 goal

Hello Everyone!

June is a quiet month for me.  I only have one finishes in June which was the Scraptacular quilt - the goal that I set for "A Year of Finishes" party.

For July month I am looking forward in finishing the Jacob's Ladder block into a quilt top.  I've started cutting the fabric last year as part of the Value Added Quilt Along hosted by Rachel of Stitched in Color. The tutorial was shared by Blue Elephant Stitches.

 

Happy Quilting!!

Value Added Quilt Along

Hello everyone!!

One of my new project that currently in progress is this Value Added Quilt Along. It was co-hosted by Rachel(Stitched In Color) ,Leila (Where the Orchids Grow), Amy (Badskirt),and  Jolene (Blue Elephant Stitches).

I choose the Jacob's Ladder pattern by Jolene of  Blue Elephant Stitches 

Following are the beauties that I choose from my stash.. for this project....combination of Good Fortune by Kate Spain,Thread Wind by Ashley and Vintage Modern  by Bonnie and Camille.  All these are FQ bundles that I've bought at Sew Lux Fabrics.

I am still in the process of cutting all the tiny pieces.... personally I would say this pattern was the first that I've ever follow which need a lot of cutting. Below are the work in progress which I arranged using mosaic.  The last photo was the first block that I've finished... I love it so much.  It  turn out so satisfying...

and last night I finished another three blocks and my first diamond shape block created.  I still have a long way to go...but surely I will reach there.

Happy Sewing everyone!!
