Another finish

So I just read Katy's post about how the FAL is nearing the end of the quarter and realised I had never posted here about a quilt on my list I finished weeks ago.

Life has been more than a bit hectic round these parts recently, but amongst the madness I managed some lovely peaceful, relaxing hand quilting now and again and managed to get a quilt finished :) it's now in full use as you can see above

I have managed another finish from my list too, cunningly disguised by Murphy, but I can't show the finished quilt for a wee while yet. I can't wait to show you more though :)

Finish Along Third Quarter

I missed the last round of the Finish Along run by the lovely Rhonda Quilter in the Gap, and I'm determined not to miss this quarter. So I'm compiling a little list of stuff that I really want to get finished.

1. My Recess Quilt, I started this a part of the My Precious QAL on Flickr and I really want to get the top finished at the very least. Somehow this keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list, but I've made a decent start on it now and I really want to work on it again

2. My HST cushion/pillow. I decided to machine quilt it instead of hand quilting and now it just needs turning into a cushion! Again this keeps getting pushed down my list

3. The Snowball I spy quilt that I was supposed to have finished months ago. This has been made by the ladies from the Joy circle of do.Good Stitches and is for Project Linus. It's over 6 months ago that I asked for blocks for this quilt, and now it's my turn to be quilter again, so it's a bit embarassing that this is still a quilt top and not a quilt!

4. I'd really like to finish the hand quilting on my Wild Bob Loulouthi quilt. I spray-basted this before I decided to hand quilt it, and it's now a nightmare to quilt with perle. BUT, I love it and I really want to have it ready to snuggle with on the sofa this winter.


So that's it! There are over 20 other projects that I want to get finished too, but I'm trying to be realistic.
I think I can finish these 4, I think I can, I think I can!


If you fancy playing along in this quarter of the Finish Along you can find the linky party here, and the details of what it's all about here.


Go on, it's a great way to get motivated!
