I'm Doing The HUSTLE...R U? UPDATED!!

I'm heading back to the 70's/80's to do the hustle!

Kelsey's Kinda Hustle!!

She's going to be our fearless leader in this 100 day sewing

*EXTRAVAGANZA*

Why not join our batch of unfinished quilters and crafters, with their wips and pigs in hand,

and make a pledge that you will make as much of a dent in your bundles as humanly possible

by DECEMBER 31, 2012?

All you need to do is make a list,

check it twice,

link to Kelsey's post tomorrow

and you're in!

Midway through we'll post our progress ( or lack thereof )

and then on December 31 another post of what we've accomplished.

Easy Peasy, right? Right!

Oh, by the way...

I heard on the QT (not really, Kelsey told us)

she's going to have

PRIZES!!!

How's that for a little extra motivation?

Prizes and completed projects, a cleared sewing table ready for the New Year, Hmmmm?

Here's my list of P.I.G.'s (projects in grocerybags)

*

First up,

I've had this on the go for at least 4 years now.

Next,

the binding and label.

Not sure what's been taking so long with this.

Archiekins!

My little guy needs a hand getting this quilt sewn up for Dad's birthday, Dec. 1.

CJ has picked all the fabrics and started sewing it together but got a little bogged down when he went back to school.

Now these have been in this state for the past 3 (or 4) Christmases.

They need to be finished!

I made such a great start and actually had the top finished in a short time but then I stalled out.

I need to get er done, winter's a comin'!

WHEW!!

Keep going!

This is another P.I.G. that's been in the bag waaay too long.

I can't even remember when I started this Whirlygiggle.

This 9 Patch is even older than the Whirlygiggle,

I'm sew embarrassed.

Last but not least, I'm sure, (ya right!!) 

is this bag.

I've had the pattern for more than a year

and the bag I am using is pathetic.

*

Just to make things a little more interesting I'll add a few gifties for the Holidays,

let's see there's the teachers for all 4 of my kiddos,

one or two are expecting from what I'm told,

a couple of friends that go above and beyond...

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 22nd

I WON!!!

Yep, I won Cindy's Dots On Dots Giveaway!

I'm now the proud owner of this pattern

"LAUNDRY DAY"

I'm going to add it to my list because it's sew darn cute,

I can't resist!

Thank you Cindy & Wilson!

So that's my line up for the

100 DAY HUSTLE!

How's your list looking?

Occupy Your Sewingroom

Thank you Barb!!

I've managed to get quite abit of time in my sewingroom (aka, my table in the diningroom) during

Occupy Your Sewingroom

I finished my wallhanging that I had entered in

 SewCalGal's

Christmas Quilt Show.

I didn't win but I did get one vote,

funny what can put a smile on your face!

I also put together 16 of these Wonky blocks for a memory quilt from my

father-in-laws shirts.

This is going to be a gift for my hubby at Christmas.

(I can't get a picture yet since hubs is home with a terrible cold)

Then there was this little "postcard"

I finished this little table runner just when I needed to dress up a small table.

This angel was alot of fun to pull together from a piece of upholstery fabric an old wooden bead and yarn.

too cute

Can there ever be too many Santas?

I think not!!

Do you see Bullet's rottweiler Santa?

 Finally my crazy chicken  well rooster really but who's counting?

I have to do something about the eye yet, it's a little too freaky like this!!

So that's about it,

not too bad for 1 weeks worth of intense sewing, piecing, pressing!

I know there's some finishing to do but on the whole I don't think I would have got anywhere near this much accomplished on my own

so...

once again Thank You, Barb!!

It's just...

                                                                   *  sew.
                                                                             *  darn.
                                                                                      *  cute

A few weeks ago I was one of the lucky winners in a giveaway by

Silly Mama Quilts

and won this adorable pincushion kit!



By the skin of my teeth

WHEW!!

I'm finished and just in time!!

My entry for the

Thanksgiving Dinner Challenge
by
Sew Sweetness.

Cut Out

Are you participating in the

Thankgiving Dinner Challenge  ?

Who couldn't use a new pair of oven mitts or a pot holder?

Prehistoric

I picked these fabrics for my oldest, who is a dinosaur fanatic!

If it deals with dinos, my boy is there with bells on!

His choice is an all flannel quilt,

now I just need to figure out a design.

Hmmm....

Ooo Ooo Witchy Woman

I saw this idea here 

 Attic Window Quilt Shop

and said to myself,

"Self, your kiddos will get a kick out of this gal".

Sew I made one!

I'm particularly proud of my spider.

The bad boy is fashioned from a satin scrap for the body and

zipper scraps from my box totes.

That fabulous ribbon was from my not -so -local FS

for a steal...50 cents a spool!

BooYah!

BOO!

My little table runner is all finished.

My youngest brought home from school the mini pumpkin, much to CJ's delight!

I love this pint size vampire and the squares with the ghosts, stars, moons and eyes actually

glow in the dark!

FNSI

I'm sewing up a little

Halloween Runner

for my Friday Night Sew In project.

Just have the binding to handsew down!

UPDATE...

Binding is on and this puppy is on our table!

Star Light Star Bright

I am determined to finish this quilt top before the end of  2011!

It's been on the go since 2009

( yes, my head is hung in shame)!
