WIP Wednesday

I seem to be managing one blog post a week at the minute, so here I am again for WIP Wednesday.  I have made some progress on my WIPS and have a few finishes to show.

Finishes:

This weekend was dedicated to making bags 3 (the Ruby bag) & 7 (241 tote) in my Mad old bag challenge.  I have a whole post planned (including a million pictures) for theses two, so this is all I will show today.

I finally got all of the supplies I needed for making the name tag for the Fat quarterly retreat swap.

I am pretty terrible at hand sewing and embroidery is pretty much beyond me, so I decided that stamping my partners name onto the fabric was the way to go.  I messed around with a few blocks in EQ7 and decided on the star, rainbow points and steel linen. 

I may have to pimp my work ID with some MM!

It's a secret swap, no name shown here yet.

I added a lanyard as I am not a big fan of having a huge label pinned to my clothes, but I will be sending a pin in case my partner prefers that option.

So onto the WIPS:

• Colour brick quilt - still not bound!
• Circle cushions - no progress.
• FQ retreat name badge swap - Waiting on delivery of fabric ink.
• Improv quilt - need to hand sew binding down.
• HST quilt - borders!!
• Tumbling apples - Waiting on backing to arrive.

Oh well one down is better than none!

New projects in the pipeline:

• Name tag swap for London Modern Quilt guild.
• Bags 4 & 6 in my MOBC.
• Retro flowers quilt along - as soon as I decide on what fabric to use.
• Table runner with my new quick curve ruler.

I have just taken a exceptionally fast delivery of these lovelies (ordered last Thursday, delivered Monday.  I love Zipit!), so it looks like I have a lot more bags on the horizon.

Linking up with Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday.
