Some September finishes and WIPS

HAPPY OCTOBER!

OMG! It's already October and I think I saw somewhere there are 18 Fridays to go - to Christmas! 

September was very busy and I know I have missed a lot of wonderful blog posts and other stuff, because there has been other things to give priority too. I always hope I will do more blog posts 'the next month', so let's see what happens this month. 

If you read my previous post, you may remember I had some WIP's. Some of them are finished, others not and some are still WIP's.
Here we go with the finishes!

Coasters 
Lauralie's On the Mend - Breast Cancer Awareness


Christmas / Winter candle mat / table mat 


Drawstring bag


Table runner


Autumn place mats - set of 4


Holiday place mats - set of 4.


 Holiday wall hanging


I didn't manage finishing the Christmas log cabin quilt, but there is progress! It is quilted and ready to be hemmed. I think I need a little bit more quilting where the blocks join... I shall see on that when the binding is done. 

I'm going to start working on a custom order to Norway; 4 Loralie's Nifty Nurses mug rugs. I've got all the fabrics needed and will work on that during the weekend. 
Here's the layout for one of them.... 



I still have the two table runners from my previous post to finish. I have left to hand stitch the binding on the green one and the red one is not yet quilted. I'm currently working on a drawstring / lingerie bag and have a couple of coasters to hem. I don't want to mention 3-4 big quilts that have to be done... LOL

Have a wonderful weekend!

A few of too many WIP's and some finishes

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

Can you tell me where August went? 
'Winter' is over for this year, even if it doesn't feel like that this morning - it's cold on the plateau. 

I've been busy - as always - and here are a some WIP's and finishes for August.

First of all, THANKS for all the comments on my previous post! 
I love log cabin quilts because of all the possible patterns. 


I decided on #7 and swapped the blocks around until I was happy. :) Now the center is made of two different red blocks and the other are reds and greens. I've added a scrappy border too. I got the flannel for the back about 2 weeks ago, I have batting and thread... To finish it will keep me busy and out of trouble for some days! :)


Last year I sold a table runner similar to this one. I had more of these beautiful fabrics and decided to make another green table runner


... and a red one. Love these fabrics! 
Ran out of fabrics for the backing - more on the way.


I've had this fabric forever and couldn't decide what to use it for. Last year I got a bargain on eBay for the red/green cones fabric (the same fabric line) and now it's soon to be a wall hanging and 4 placemats. 


A coffee theme table runner - ready to be quilted. 

These are only a few of my WIP's. I hope to finish them all - err... at least some of them before I start anything new! 
Please remind me if I forget - lol! 

Here are the finishes! 


4 Santa mug rugs


2 Santa mug rugs


Santa table runner


Rooster wall hanging


Rooster mug rugs or candle mats


4 coasters


4 coasters


4 Santa coasters


2 trivets / hot pads


2 mug rugs

Whew! Didn't know I have been that busy! 
I love using up bits and pieces and all these small items are made using leftovers from other projects. 

It's time for tea with hubby! :)
Have a wonderful day!
