Oh how happy am I to see WIP Wednesday back in the new year! It's like I almost feel lost without it. I do well with lists, and WIP Wednesday is most definitely my quilty to do list, with fun pictures!
Completed Projects
Deep Deep Sea baby quilt
I finished up this commissioned baby quilt over the New Year weekend. I just need to embroider baby Jeremiah's name on it, and it will be shipped off to snuggle with its new owner.
Custom Nook Cover
This was Bertha's first project, and a fun custom Nook cover for my soon to be sister in law! (Congrats Stephen and Amanda, they got engaged on New Years Eve!) I loosely used this tutorial from fresh lemons and adapted it to fit a Nook instead of an iPad.
In Progress
4x5 Bee Blocks
I'm typically not one to wait until the last minute, but with the holidays and such, these 4x5 bee blocks seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the priority list until now. I'm using this paper pieced pattern from the Desperate Housewives Quilt Along. Two of my bee mates blocks are finished, with three to go, hopefully I will be getting these in the mail this weekend.
New Projects
Crochet Afghan
I had been coveting this fun crocheted afghan on Pinterest for some time now, with hopes to make it one day, the only problem being that I didn't know how to crochet. Luckily my mom does know how, and over the holiday's shared her secrets, and showed me how to crochet.
I've been crocheting up a storm while watching back episodes of The Big Bang Theory (how did I now know how funny this show is until now??) This will be a WIP for some time I have a feeling, but I'm really enjoying working on it, and the colors are so so pretty!
I've decided I'm doing away with listing my pretty much at this point stalled projects, and only listing the ones that I'm currently working on, or have plans for the immediate future to work on. No sense in nagging myself with projects that have no timeline for completion, but hopefully you'll be seeing them pop up here and there over the coming year!

ReplyDeleteThose are some great projects! My family and I are hooked on The Big Bang Theory. How can you not...
ReplyDeleteI love the Big Bang Theory! Okay, baby quilt is totally awesome! Love the colors of this and the Nook cover. The block looks really nice, looks like paper piecing which I don't have the patience for. Diggin' the colors you chose for the afghan. I follow you but saw this at WIP first.
