<br />
1. Dottie Angel Frock<br />
This has been on my list a while. The dress is almost done, but the arm holes are huge and show my bra and sides underneath. So I need to draft a pattern and add sleeves to make this wearable.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2.Dresden Mini<br />
I have had this basted and ready for hand quilting for over a year (maybe two). I just need to get to work and do it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbnvZ9GyGi2WFpDowxOloAtmGNMvmp7fCYKAWsgnmeiEaUoGPQGNnmtU0tV-sFpEb3QVU8nIy-FpDqj1lFlfqsncDeltg1yZsh_viMF7hGp8YCXYD5ghEObGPAFN_F9VT9izU8XMKl43c/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbnvZ9GyGi2WFpDowxOloAtmGNMvmp7fCYKAWsgnmeiEaUoGPQGNnmtU0tV-sFpEb3QVU8nIy-FpDqj1lFlfqsncDeltg1yZsh_viMF7hGp8YCXYD5ghEObGPAFN_F9VT9izU8XMKl43c/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>

3. Secret Surprise Quilt<br />
The fabric is cut and I have barely started piecing. If I can get the top and backing to the quilter by the end of the quarter I will be excited.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. My Christmas Tree Skirt<br />
This is currently at the quilters and will need trimmed and bound once it comes home.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. #stepstepmom quilt<br />
This is also currently at the quilters and will need trimmed, labeled and bound once it comes home.<br />

I really have so few readers that I am not sure if I should feel bad at all. Here is the reason for my absence...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/6784817535/" title="eAdriennetwinsdec2011 032 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6784817535_f38bcb44cd.jpg" alt="eAdriennetwinsdec2011 032" /></a><br />Eiry and Anni born prematurely on November 1st, 2011.<br /><br />I have not been sewing much at all since I got pregnant with them as it was a rough pregnancy and I was so uncomfortable. I did get the biding on my RK strawberry quilt.<br /><br />Insert Photo<br /><br />I also got three quilts quilted for free by <a href="http://www.lovebugstudios.com/">Lovebug Studios</a>... my HR Bee quilt, the Fresh Squeezed top, and a String quilt. The binding is attached to them as of January 1st, 2012, but it will take some time to bind all three. I will post about them as I finish.<br /><br />I entered the lottery for <a href="http://dollquiltswap.blogspot.com/">DQS12</a> today and hope to get included again. I have so enjoyed it in the past and was very sad not to be able to play last round.Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-83679577557855337222011-03-01T09:23:00.003-07:002011-03-01T09:29:52.511-07:00February UFO #10So I got super busy in January and finished a bunch of my smaller UFOs including the one picked for February. My Double X mini was the top made int he last month of my Small Quilts class. I still have the very first top from that class to quilt and bind and I think it should be next one on my to-do list.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5408351737/" title="Double X Mini Quilt - September by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 352px; height: 437px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100/5408351737_38c527e2e0.jpg" alt="Double X Mini Quilt - September" /></a><br /><br />I am also only halfway done with my DQS10 top and am leaving for Europe in 8 days. So we know what I should be working on right now!<br /><br />Here is the last progress picture I took of it...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5471418063/" title="DQS10 on background by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 401px; height: 301px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5053/5471418063_685f9d5207.jpg" alt="DQS10 on background" /></a><br /><br />It has the rickrack attacked and is laying on the backing (about two feet away staring at me hoping that I get some more work done on it today). All I really have left is the flying geese border and the quilting/binding. If I can get the top finished and basted I can do the rest on the 14 hour plane ride or during my trip. We will see!!!Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-36607062519378115702011-02-01T15:11:00.002-07:002011-02-01T15:29:07.419-07:00Moving along...I am still hard at work on my UFOs. For the month of February, Judy chose #10 which is a mini quilt that I already finished in January. So I have a month to work on anything that I want... actually because of my trip in March I have to start and finish my quilt for the DQS10 this month.<br /><br />While grocery shopping last week, I happened to look at the clearance isle of football stuff that was reduced since football is over here. While browsing the clearance I found a poly/cotton blend pillow case that will be a perfect center for the Broncos quilt! Yeah, I have pulled out those blocks and they are on my short list.<br /><br />I am still undecided about the String Swap Blocks, because they are just brightly colored string blocks which I have gotten over already. I think I just need to choose a color and sash them into a top and get it DONE. Maybe aqua or white... hmmmm....<br /><br />The Variation Stars top is still at the quilters, but I have the binding cut and ironed already. I also still need to get a photo of this.<br /><br />I am half way done binding the Halloween quilt. It turned out awesome! I used a new quilter <a href="http://www.eaglemountainquilting.com/">Eagle Mounting Quilters</a> and they did a great job on this quilt. I love the lime green thread she chose!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5408351291/" title="IMGP5412 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5297/5408351291_420df50d12_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="IMGP5412" /></a><br /><br />Three of the mini quilts got done in January. Only one left... the Rainbow Rail Fence Mini and I have no idea how to quilt it!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5385550996/" title="One Thing One Week Challenge 6 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5214/5385550996_7dd2804116_m.jpg" width="240" height="173" alt="One Thing One Week Challenge 6" /></a><br /><br />I also finished binding the Brown Bag Challenge Quilt and am looking for a good place to donate it. It is way to girly for this household of boys.<br /><br />I also started two new projects... a lime/gray quilt for which I have been collecting fabrics over a year and a batik quilt made with some green/blue batiks a friend generously gave to me. Little did she know my unlike of batiks...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5385550640/" title="New WIPs by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5385550640_4175da577f_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="New WIPs" /></a><br /><br />I have been pretty sick the last few days and am hoping to get well by Friday because that is the next Sweatshop night at my LQS and I obviously still have lots to do!Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-12018925132967046002011-01-17T18:51:00.003-07:002011-01-17T19:41:20.296-07:00Actual Progress...I have made progress on a lot of my UFOS...<br /><br />Broncos Top - I think I have found a center, but it is knit. I am debating on whether it will work as a quilt center if I back it in interfacing or not....<br /><br />Halloween – I have made the backing and mailed this to a quilter.<br /><br />Variation Stars – I finished the borders and have made the backing and mailed this to a quilter.<br /><br />Maple Leaf Mini - This is completely finished and ready to be gifted.<br /><br />BBCQ - This has a backing and is at the quilters.<br /><br />The variation stars was drawn by Judy for this months UFO and I finished it first and then kept on going. I am wanting to finish all of my list, but it is such a boring list that I really want to start something new.<br /><br />I forgot to take photos of most of my completed tops that are now at the quilters... But here is the one I remembered, the Brown Bag Challenge Quilt.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5365826004/" title="Brown Bag Challenge Quilt by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/5365826004_38b57ef3b8.jpg" alt="Brown Bag Challenge Quilt" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />I also managed to complete a ton of blocks for the 3 by 6 Mini Bee (check my Flickr photostream). I made angel blocks from my group from last quarter (4th qtr 2010) because one of our ladies went missing. I also completed the blocks for my ladies this quarter (1st qtr 2011) that are not actually due until March 15th! Woohoo!<br /><br />I also finished my January blocks for BUZZCUTs for Andrea.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5352554860/" title="Buzzcuts January 2011 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 399px; height: 300px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5284/5352554860_3174672588.jpg" alt="Buzzcuts January 2011" /></a><br /><br />Maybe I can keep up the good work, but I feel the motivation waning...Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-25744034788983149912010-12-19T10:34:00.008-07:002011-12-18T16:20:06.099-07:0012 Things in 2011So I have seen a bunch of people putting up challenges for completing UFOs in 2011. Don't we try to do that every year? I need to go back and see if I did that for 2010 and how well I accomplished it.<br /><br />So for 2011, I hope to finish 12 UFOs in 12 months (maybe even one each month). Here they are in no particular order...<br /><ol><li>Broncos Top - Find Center and make into a top - Found a center<br /></li><li>String Swap Blocks - Combine blocks into a top</li><li>Pirate Quilt - Blocks are cut, but not even started<br /></li><li>Beginner RR - Finish Quilting/Bind</li><li>Triple Four Patch - Baste/Quilt/Bind</li><li>Variation Stars – Borders/Backing/Binding - Done in January<br /></li><li>Halloween – Backing/Quilt/Bind - Done in February</li><li>Rainbow Rail Fence Mini - Quilt/Bind</li><li>Rainbow Stars Mini - Quilt/Bind - Done January<br /></li><li>Double X Mini - Quilt/Bind - Done January</li><li>Maple Leaf Mini - Quilt/Bind - Done January<br /></li><li>BBCQ - Backing/Quilt/Bind - Done January</li></ol>The larger quilts I hope to get the tops completed and backings ready and maybe I can afford to have one quilted every other month (I have three tops with backings in line already). I hope to finish the quilting and binding on the smaller ones myself.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.patchworktimes.com/2010/12/19/ufo-challenge-numbers/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKr5kc4CzQ63TIUC4E1hPSTII5CmKWhOcdIR8k_EbYW7ZVFZzG-w3LQ4QW3olTEaHOHNR8R0rWGaqlCz0lvvK53DcAU-sJC7LA4dApsBXXnqZz_C5_8Ua-JbEG7w2i56MZrfV5qCW5xU25/s320/UFO11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552449885195755122" border="0" /></a>Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-40813793040314917952010-11-29T10:16:00.006-07:002011-02-01T15:33:37.677-07:00Finally Done with the ABCs!!!!I have finally finished the three ABC quilts that have taken over my quilting life for the last 6 or so months. I took the quilted tops to my mom's for Thanksgiving and managed to get them all bound before leaving Texas. I used up pieces of binding left over from other quilts so each of the three ABC tops has a very scrappy binding. The quilts are so scrappy to begin with that I thought this would be a great way to use up more scraps.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5218482218/" title="ABC Quilts +1 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5218482218_c6733ffe84.jpg" alt="ABC Quilts +1" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />I also finished the red quilt from about 5-6 years ago and am thinking of donating it to that blogger 100 quilts challenge thing.

So I joined in and choose designing my Halloween quilt. I got the blocks from two virtual quilting bees so all my friends made them (plus I added a few to get the right number). The block sizes are unfisished 6.5", 9.5" and 12.5". So I had some finagling to do!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5030993284/" title="IMGP5207 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5030993284_aea5c07abe.jpg" alt="IMGP5207" /></a><br /><br />I also got a start on sorting the scraps and cutting them into sashing for the 9.5" blocks. Woo hoo!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/5030377077/" title="IMGP5208 by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 373px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5030377077_75b5e6f743.jpg" alt="IMGP5208" /></a><br /><br />Maybe I will get the top done by Halloween!

So I just went with my original wagon wheel looking block and then hand stitched some details. I had help choosing a background from the ladies in the Flickr group.<br /><br />I am also sending a couple of fun homemade sewing accessories including a needle book, a dangle for scissors/rotary cutter and a little needle magnet to hold while sewing.

So I had to join in and choose finishing my DQS9 and sending it by Saturday. Honestly, the binding is 3/4 finished and I have an idea for the label and extras so this should be simple.

I succeeded and almost finished a second.

I had taken a few months off. So now I have school work on top of everything else I try to do daily... cleaning, childcare, crafting, playing, TV watching, etc. I also have committed to a local roller derby league and have practice twice a week for a total of five hours of skating (though I have only been able to go once a week the last two weeks). So my sewing time has been reduced.. a lot. Good thing that four of my five quilting bees ended in the last two months!<br /><br />I have been busy sewing though...<br />ABC Quilts (really moving along, but no where near done)<br />BUZZCUTS Bee (we just started the second year)<br /><br />DQS9 (half of the piecing is done)<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4817192964/" title="Swim School Background by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 442px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4817192964_506b446a49.jpg" alt="Swim School Background" /></a><br /><br />Small Quilts Class (only three more months out of nine)<br />January - Rail Fence<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4360768434/" title="Rail Fence - January by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 487px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4360768434_06785f99f5.jpg" alt="Rail Fence - January" /></a><br /><br />February - Interwoven<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4818946069/" title="Interwoven - February by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4818946069_72fe4929c0.jpg" alt="Interwoven - February" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />March - Old Maid's Puzzle<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4818945465/" title="Old Maid's Puzzle - March by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4818945465_9bf824a11c.jpg" alt="Old Maid's Puzzle - March" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />April - Lady of the Lake<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4818945771/" title="Lady of the Lake - April by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4818945771_5c46c41257.jpg" alt="Lady of the Lake - April" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />May - Variable Star<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4702417676/" title="Modify Tradition Swap Spring 2010 - Finished by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 485px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/4702417676_462084e1cd.jpg" alt="Modify Tradition Swap Spring 2010 - Finished" /></a><br /><br />June - Maple Leaf<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4818945059/" title="Maple Leaves - July by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4818945059_61e77253d2.jpg" alt="Maple Leaves - July" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /><br />July - Triangles and Squares<br />Class is this Saturday the 24th!Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-59131760062042256212010-06-30T09:37:00.006-06:002010-12-19T10:58:05.023-07:00Accountablity and even more Bee blocksI have a horrid habit of starting projects with no intended recipient then letting them languish unfinished for years. I do not think I am the only crafter with this problem as I hear and see so many others complain about UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) and WIPs (Works in Progress). So I am tryingto hold myself accountable and made a list of ten projects to complete this year, I called it my "10 in '10" List. I am going to post it here to help myself stay motivated...<br /><br />1. ABC - Ronin<br />This quilt has the blocks complete and I have started the sashing process. All sashing is cut and half is already attached, but not yet ironed.<br />Update 7/24 - This quilt top is now done and needs sandwiched and quilted.<br />Update 12/1 - Finished in November<br />2. ABC - Zach<br />This quilt has the blocks complete and I have started the sashing process. All sashing is cut and half is already attached, but not yet ironed. Yes, it is in the same stage as the other as I am working on them simultaneously.<br />Update 7/27 - This quilt top is now done and needs sandwiched and quilted.<br />Update 12/1 - Finished in November<br />3. ABC - School<br />This quilt has the blocks complete and I have started the sashing process, but I am half a yard short of the sashing material and need to find some more. (Anyone have 1/2 a yard of the White on Black dots from the "That's It" line by Michael Miller that they want to trade with me?)<br />Update 12/1 - Finished in November<br />4. Broncos Mountain Majesties<br />The blocks are done, but I am having a hard time find a cotton pillowcase or flag with a large Broncos emblem on it for the center.<br />Update 12/1 - Not even touched all year!<br />5. Bright Strings<br />This top is complete, but still needs a backing before going to the quilters. I need to find a big enough piece from my stash and prepare that backing.<br />Update 7/27 - I seamed the backing today.<br />Update 12/1 - At the Quilters<br />6. Halloween Quilt from Bee blocks<br />All the block are now here and I have a layout planned.<br />Update 12/1 - Top complete needs backing<br />7. Triple Four Patch<br />Top, Batting and Backing ready, so why I am I not quilting it yet?!<br />8. HR Stripe Bee Quilt<br />Bought sashing for the completed blocks last weekend. Next on my list after the ABC quilts.<br />Update 12/1 - At the Quilters<br />9. RK Strawberries Bee Quilt<br />This top is complete, but still needs a backing before going to the quilters. I bought a bunch of Kona Avocado and plan on putting the one incorrectly sized block off center within the backing.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4659766665/" title="SK@H Quilt Top by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4659766665_706b987e67.jpg" alt="SK@H Quilt Top" height="500" width="378" /></a><br />Update 12/1 - At the Quilters<br />10. All 9 Minis for Quilter's Studio Class<br />I missed class in June, but am finished with Jan., Feb., March, April and Mays tops. So halfway done?!<br />Update 12/1 - Five are completely finished while four still need quilted and bound<br /><br />Now for a June update on my quilting bee blocks...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1029693@N22/">BUZZCUTS Quilting Bee</a> was for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunflowerquilt/">sunflowerquilt</a> (Jennie) and she sent the gray/black and we added our scraps.

With over half the blocks here, I am almost ready to start putting that top together. June is the last month so this bee is practically over.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1160524@N22/">Sew Kid @ Heart II Quilting Bee</a> was for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37786371@N05/">curtiqueen</a> and we made wonky log cabins with her fabric as a focus.

I have so much to do by the end of the month that I was wanting to organize my thoughts in one place, so why not on my blog.<br /><br />Here is all I need to finish by 5/31 or sooner….<br /><br />1. May ‘Small Quilt’ for class – 240 1.5” HSTs already sewn, but need cut, ironed and pieced into a top (maybe I can cut and iron them tonight)<br /><br />2. Two more April virtual bee blocks – Ida and Barb (all the pieces are cut, but they need pieced)<br /><br />3. ABC tops 3X – get the blocks finished and assembled<br /><br />4. Backing for Green Strawberries quilt (do I even have fabric for this???)<br /><br />Then I need to get my Modify Tradition ideas sorted out and start working on a top to be mailed around June 8th.<br /><br />Now that I write it all down it does not seem too bad… LOL If I can get the first three things on my list done at Sweatshop, I would be in a good place. I have to finish the first two because they have actual due dates. The 3rd is harder than it looks and is on my Spring to Finish 2010 Challenge list so I really want to at least get something done on them.Arndenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709843102081409388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182726333291705814.post-59353981733577999112010-05-07T14:09:00.001-06:002010-05-07T14:09:13.650-06:00Spring to Finish Challenge 2010<span xmlns=''><p>So I joined <a href='http://www.blogger.com/profile/07362229673390519468'>Jacquie</a>'s <a href='http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2010/04/spring-to-finish-challenge-2010_19.html'>Spring to Finish Challenge 2010</a> over at her <a href='http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/'>Tall Grass Studio</a> blog.

It was neat to work outside of my comfort zone, but I wish I could have thought up another block.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1160524@N22/">Sew Kid @ Heart II</a> for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetteamom/">sweetteamom</a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4317865112/" title="January SK@H2 Bee Blocks by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 400px; height: 214px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4317865112_cedbe13338.jpg" alt="January SK@H2 Bee Blocks" /></a></span><br />She is creating an I-SPY type quilt for her son and this was so fun and simple that I really enjoyed it.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1029693@N22/">Buzzcuts</a> for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sewwunderful/">sewwunderful</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arnden/4280134844/" title="BUZZCUTs Jan Bee block by Arnden's Space, on Flickr"><img style="width: 395px; height: 297px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4280134844_239b318809.jpg" alt="BUZZCUTs Jan Bee block" /></a><br />Pink is my least favorite color on the planet so it took me forever to decide what to do for this fabric. I was sent more than enough to make a second block, but the creativity was missing.

If I were not spending the last 10 days of the year in Texas, then I am sure I could have finished them all. So I plan to finish the last two during the first half of January and start a new list of 10 UFOSs to finish next year. I might not even have 10 WIPs left now.
