Finish It Up- Week Four

Can you believe it?  We are about half way done with this challenge!  Thank you to all who have joined!  I know I would have lost motivation very quickly, if I didn't have to report back to you all!  Sadly, I don't have any finishes this week.  I did get my nine patch quilt basted last night, so I am ready to start quilting.  This is my oldest unfinished project, and I am pumped to finally finish this off!  I am also working on getting my Fussy Cut Bee Blocks sashed.  Hopefully, I will have something pretty to show you next week!

1. Ruffle Clutch- Finished!
2. Inset Clutch- Finished!
3. Coaster Set- Finished!
4. Maxi Dress- Finished!
5. Sienna Dress
6. Swoon Mini Quilt- Finished!
7. Modern Meadow Quilt- Quilt Top Done! Waiting to go to the long arm quilter.
8. 9 Patch Quilt- Basted!
9. Pinwheel Blocks
10. Fussy Cut Bee Blocks- Top in Progress!
11. PJ Bottoms- Scrapped!
12. Men's Shirt


So how about a little Christmas in July picture instead?  My ruffle clutch was featured in Pink Chalk Fabrics newsletter.  If Kathy decides to feature your project, she sends you a $20 gift certificate to her shop!  Isn't that nice?!  So I picked out these two charm packs to make some Christmas pillows and maybe a table runner later in the fall.

So, this week I am offering a little giveaway!  Two patterns!


This sweet little dog pincushion pattern...


and this fun satchel pattern!

2. Become a follower or let me know if you already are.
3. Link up to the linky party with your Finish It Up! projects.

I will leave this giveaway open through Thursday, July 21st. Don't forget to also give me your e-mail, if it isn't linked to your profile!

Yippee I finished a quilt top last night which has been on the go for 6yrs (I know can't quite believe I've admitted it). Just need to decide on the backing now, hopefully that won't take long!

I recently subscribed to your blog. For some reason Blogger won't let me follow blogs any more. I've tried everything from the Help menu. geeze... crazy.
I finished the coffee bean pillow after weeks of waiting and putting it off because I thought it would be a messy job. But it worked out great. No fuzzy stuff when I was sewing.
This is the first time EVER that I have linked up a project. I sure hope it worked right.
I've really enjoyed watching everyone finish their projects. I'm truly inspired by all the talent.

Take care,

Debbie

I was MIA last week, but I'm back with at least some modest progress - but no 'finishes' yet!

Could someone tell me how to post the button for this Challenge on my blog? I've successfully done it before, with other blogs and other buttons, but this one is totally stumping me! I'm not as smart as a SmartPhone but I *am* smarter than HTML and the internet! LOL

Lucia said...

I linked to my one finish in your linky thing above, but I also just wrote a post about my FIU projects here: http://lulubloom.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/finish-it-up-check-in

Thanks!

I started a project! haha! But trust me when I say I don't have a lot of UFOs, particularly. Also, I just moved, so I don't have a chair, so I can't sit at my sewing machine and sew. I have started knitting a sweater for myself!

I finished up a quilt made from baby clothes. It took me forever to get through the binding of the quilt. I'm always in limbo with it and on the verge of completing a project. But I'm so happy by the end of it.

I haven't finished a project this week, but I think tonight might be the night. We are getting our new table & hutch delivered and those are the crowning jewel to my new kitchen semi-makeover!

I have indeed started and finished a baby quilt this week. It was a very easy pattern and I was able to complete it rather quickly which is good because I hadnt been able to sew in the last two weeks. Ive added the pick to your link list. Thanks!

Oops, the link comment should have been separate. Mine is number 17. Thanks!
