WIP Wednesday 8. 31. 2011

 

My last week's WIP Wednesday was full of new projects, 2 quilts, and 2 pillows, to be precise. Guess how much progress was made on either one of these four? None!!! Absolutely nothing!!! I did not even touch them all week long.

Not to say that I didn't sew. Not at all. I was actually pretty busy and managed to produce quite a few finished projects, there was just something about already started projects that did not attract me at all.

I made 2 new pillows for our living room. You can read more about them here.

With all 3 of my kids at school now, we're still in the "back to school" mood. I made a long promised  messenger bag for my middle daughter. I just love how it turned out. What do you think?

I helped my oldest daughter cover her textbooks and made fabric book covers for all of them.

I posted a tutorial on how to make these easy book or notebook covers here.

One last project I'm going to share today is this table runner/ wall hanging.

I had no pattern or any exact idea what I really wanted it to be when I started. I like how it turned out, I just don't think it looks good on my dining table (that was the reason I made it). 

I will probably re-make it into something else and keep on my quest to make a table runner that would be "just right" for our dining room. Any suggestions? 

I love the binding on this guy, though. It's Cherry Fizz by Barbara Jones of Quiltsoup for Henry Glass. I bought a yard at Fabric.com  but I have to go back and get a lot more. It might be my favorite polka dot fabric right now.

I really hope to dig into my last weeks WIPs and show you some finishes next week.

Enjoy your day, Svetlana
