WIPS Bits!

There still has not been as much sewing time as I 

would like.....

but there is no point dwelling on it.....

I have completed Jazz Hands #7....

This bottom point is not working.....?

which gives me a few days of July left to concentrate 

my hand sewing time.....

on the hand quilting of "Summer Stars"....


Not sure why I thought quilting around these circles 

was a good idea!


I only have 85 more to do...



with very little thread left! Ugh!

I've had a couple of daylight hours at the machine....

But I am not quite ready to share my "Echo" 

completely yet...


And I may have cut into some fabric to make.....



yes, some Grannies....

Linking up with Freshly Pieced....

Happy sewing!

I'm impressed with the hand quilting - especially with so many flowers! But what a lovely touch that'll add to your quilt.

Can't wait to see Echo - love that little sneak peek!

Hope you get some more sewing time soon!!

Colleen said...

Ooh, I'm about to hand quilt circles on my daughter's quilt... You've got me a little scared.

I love the peek of your echo quilt, it looks like it will be absolutely stunning.

Oh lots of lovelies!! You'll be glad you handquilted the circles when they're done. There's always more thread at the thread shop. Echo is looking fabulous and I can't see the stars funny bottom.

Karen said...

For not a lot of time I think you have done well. I admire your patience with all the hand quilting, especially those circles. It does look good!!

Kelly said...

A post full of beautiful makes - those circles do look great with the hand quilting :)

Leanne said...

So many lovely projects and I am impressed with those circles.

Cindy said...

Wow! There's so much goodness here. Stick to those little circles. It's totally worth it.

Oh you have gotten so much more accomplished than I have in the last few days! I love the hand quilting and all those circles will look great on the back! The Echo sneak peek looks yummy! Is that linen? What color? Love it! Grrr...I need to get started on granny squares or I am going to be way too far behind! You have been busy Suz!

Janet said...

You are on a roll by the looks of the photos, I love everything you're playing with. Lots of turning with the circle quilting but it does look so good.

Patti said...

I was about to just say all looking great until I saw the FMF Granny - that is going to be gorgeous!

Kirsty @ Bonjour Quilts said...

Those Jazz Hands never disappoint! I think you're nuts to be doing all those circles too, but it's definitely going to be stunning when it's done.
Love the granny square - still something I haven't tried yet (but think about all the time).

Cherie said...

What gorgeous sneak peaks of the projects you've been working on! Maybe you could leave some of those circles unquilted?
Where did you get your echo prints, I have a few more I need ? =D

Barb said...

I enjoyed seeing what you are working on.

Sometimes we think a good idea is great which it is but ends up taking so much time, your quilt will look great after the circle quilting.

Kirsten said...

Loving all of your projects - the Granny square looks so pretty so far!

Carla said...

I love all of your projects...so impressed with your hand work, Susan. And, Woo Hoo for that last picture...welcome to the club!!
