Work'S' in Progress...

Another WIP Wednesday is upon us...and I'm excited to have finished a project this week! The Patriotic Wall hanging is done! (Full post here...)

I have had some progress on the 60 degree Diamond Fall Table Topper...

Last week I worked on the Quiet book for Liz a little bit, but did not post for WIP...so I'll show you what I did. I did the backgrounds for almost all the pages. Seven are finished...three backgrounds to go! (Quiet Book Sew-along @ Stolen Moments)

I'm excited to have this much done. On Saturday, I stopped at the craft store and got a felt pumpkin for the harvest page...for 25 cents! The only thing is that it might look more like the Great Pumpkin from Charlie Brown compared to the size of the page!



I haven't touched the fabric baskets, but it would be great to get them done so I can keep my laundry room/bathroom organized!

I did make a dress on Monday...it was so quick to make...it's a sweatshirt material, so no hems needed around the bottom, sleeves, and neckline. I want to add some hand sewing embellishments...so I'll reveal it when I get those done!

To sum it all up:

Works Completed = 1 (Wall hanging)
Works in Progress = 4 (Dress, Hand sewing Diamonds, Season's Quiet Book, Fabric baskets)
New Projects = 2 (Dress, Wall hanging...other than the top)

Not by works of righteousness which we have done,

but according to his mercy he saved us,

by the washing of regeneration,

and the renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Americana Patriotic Star Wall Hanging...

Finally, a finish of something needing attention for months! The Star wall hanging that was put together in March is now quilted...yeah!

It looks good...but there are a few bad spots in my quilting. I need to work on consistency of stitch size and pattern (with the FMQing). Also, there are a couple of wrinkles in my binding that I think I'll need to fix. I wanted to enter this in the county fair at the end of the month, but I'm not sure its going to get to go...we'll see what else I get done :) !

I pieced the back (sorry I forgot to take a picture...) with a label included. I used the print your own labels again...however, after washing the wall hanging, the label is a MESS! The background coloring is almost all gone and discolored and the words are a little hard to read in spots. I was very disappointed...but at least it didn't affect the rest of the wall hanging. I think I might have to design and order some labels from Spoonflower and get a fabric pen...live and learn!

Tonight was beautiful here...we took a lovely walk, then stopped in our backyard for...

Hope everyone is having a great start to the week! Check out the linky parties on my right side bar for more crafty fun!

And he answered and said unto them,

I tell you that, if these should hold their peace,

the stones would immediately cry out.

Luke 19:40

We need to remember to rejoice in the Lord and give the praise due to Him...because if we don't, the rocks will have to! I think the Lord would rather hear from us than rocks.

Talk with you Wednesday!
