Finish It Up- Week Six and a Giveaway!

Week Six!  *whew*  I really knocked a lot of things off my list the first few weeks, and my progress then slowed waaayyy down.  I blame the two awesome quilt-a-longs that I couldn't helping joining.  However, I am soooo close to finishing my nine patch quilt.  I am hoping to come back later today and show you how it turned out!  This is my oldest and biggest unfinished project, so I can't wait to say it is officially done!

Also, I do have an awesome giveaway for you all today!  Bonnie of Fishsticks Designs is offering one reader a chance to win TWO of her PDF patterns! I first came across Bonnie's blog through Made By Rae's first Spring Top Week.  She made beautiful tops, and I have been a regular reader ever since.  

Bonnie is also a talented pattern designer.  Go check out her etsy shop!  She offers several different patterns for both big and little kids.  Lots of fun, comfy knit patterns!  Her blog also has a number of great free tutorials and tips with how to sew with knits!


She offers several patterns for boys! (and good ones can be hard to come by!)


I love this sweet little top pattern for girls.  It just looks so comfy.  It comes in both little and big girls sizes!


A baby layette pattern! (Who could resist this picture?  So sweet.) 

To enter to win two Fishsticks Designs patterns, you have two different chances.  You can choose to do just one or both

1.  Leave a comment letting me know what two patterns you would like!  You can find them here.

2.  Leave a comment letting me know if you finished or made any progress on a project this week!

Please do not forget to leave an email address!  
I will leave this giveaway open until Thursday, August 4th!

Good luck everyone!


So to all you Finish It Uppers? Link up and lets see what progress everyone has made!

    These patterns look like the perfect way to start working with knits. I'm loving the Undercover Boxer Briefs! The Charlie Tee & Hoodie pattern looks pretty awesome too.

    We were super duper busy with church events for the last couple of weeks, so sadly, I was not as productive as I would have liked. I did start up again yesterday, though, on a ruffley crocheted scarf. I'm hoping to have time to finish it today!

    I would choose the austin lee coverall and romper. My brother is having his third kid and this would be super cute! I also worked super hard this week and finished a pouch, 4 farmer's wife blocks and my modern meadows quilt!

    I'd love the Rockin The Raglan pattern, and the Little Fishies Undies. I love that these are now avialable as PDF patterns! So much easier to just print the size you need, so I can make things for all of my kids : )

    I finished a project this week! This was one I'd been meaning to get to for, oh, the past 18 months...
    I finally just sat down & made curtains for our schoolroom. Very simple & they are super cute.
    I also started working on a flag banner (or banners) for my kids birthdays (one owl themed, one Batman themed)... Those don't need to be done until October & December, but, well... I should get started now ; )

    I like The Austin Lee Coverall & Romper (I love one-piece outfits on little ones!) and The Patrick Curved Raglan Big Kid Sizes. Such great patterns!

  15. SerenaJuly 29, 2011 at 11:01 AM

    I finished a bag, oven mitts, and revamped a dress into a skirt (something I've needed to do for ages!) this week. :) Sounds productive, but they were just little things.

    Wow, I was just looking at her patterns. I love the designs she offers! If I win, I would like The Patrick Curved Raglan Infant-Toddler pattern and I'm stuck trying to decide between the Undercover Bottoms Boxer Briefs & the Little Fishies Undies. Tough decision!

    Thanks for a chance to win :)

    I would get the little fishies undies since my two year old might be ready to potty train soon and is tiny so the store undies are huge on her! I would also choose the Emmy top and dress.

    Hi Meg
    I've made progress towards finishes of big projects and have finished two sets of bee blocks which have been hanging around for a long time. The list is still incredibly daunting though!
    Jules.
    PS: love the nine patch in the next post, so fresh and vibrant! And the dog is super cute too :)

    And for my second entry I finished up a pair of shorts for my son. I had the pattern cut and sitting with the fabric, but finally managed to cut and sew it this weekend.

    Cute patterns! I have a two month old niece now, so I would go with the two baby patterns in her shop. ALMOST as cute as my niece (she's quite the looker, you know...). Thanks! :)
