WIP Wednesday {5.25.2011}

Thanks for visiting!  If you are looking for my Sew Mama Sew Giveaway post, it can be found here.  There's still time to enter to win!

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

I will forwarn you, I have been a complete sewing slacker this week, and unfortunately do not have much to show.  It just seemed that every time I had planned to sit down and get some sewing done, something else came up that needed my attention.  Don't you hate when that happens??  Well, that coupled with a nasty case of sunburn I encountered this past weekend, has had me wanting to do as little moving around as possible.

In Progress

Double Wedding Ring Quilt


I did buckle down last night (while watching Hines win the Mirror Ball trophy!!) and get to work on my double wedding ring quilt.  I pieced together two more blocks...for a grand total of 3 complete blocks.  I think that leaves only 17 more to go...


Please ignore those awful puckers on the block on the left...I'm counting on those crinkling right out once the top is pieced and quilted.  Despite the million times I've already pricked my fingers while pinning all those darn curves, I really am happy with how this is turning out.  Slow and steady is definitely the way with this, I have a little over 2 months to get this finished up...and I think I will take just about every second of that time to do so!

New Projects

Baby Shower Gift
No pictures to show here...I have a baby shower to attend this Saturday, and it has kind of snuck up on me!  I am planning to get some baby sewing done this evening, I'm thinking a few baby bibs, possibly some burp cloths and a diaper wreath will do just the trick!

    I love this!! Gorgeous color choices. It is on my lifetime bucket list of quilts to make! Don't worry about the imperfections. Wrinkles make great crinkles!
