Works in Progress + A Finish!

Thisย post may contain affiliate or brand partner links. Read our full disclosureย here.

So normally on wednesdays I talk about all the projects I am in the middle of. That’s not changing this week either, BUT I also have a finished quilt top to share ๐Ÿ™‚ Lets start with projects first…

** some of these images are poor iphone quality. I apologize.

WIP - Basic zips in progress

I’ve got a bunch of fun fabrics ready to be turned into Basic Zips! Some of these will be headed into the shop, most will be going to the June Market with me ๐Ÿ˜€

WIP New Vintage Sheet Quilt in the works D - BusyBeingJennifer.com

 

I’ve got another Vintage Sheet Quilt in the works ๐Ÿ™‚ Pretty sure its gonna be awesome! I’m making it up as I go along (like I always do LOL) so hopefully I can get the idea in my head to work with the fabric I have on hand!

Now for the project I finished!! This one was a doozey! And something that I struggled with… there was no creativity in it for me and I quickly got bored. BUT, I had a client waiting for it… so it had to get done. In the end I am quite proud to have been a part of Miss Katie’s Memory Quilt.

Miss Katie's Memory - A memory quilt by BusyBeingJennifer.co,

Miss Katie was an incredible woman that went to the church that I go to here in town. In fact she’s one of the main reasons I chose Central over the other churches I checked out. She made me feel welcome, gave me a big hug and asked to hear my life story… and actually WANTED to hear it too ๐Ÿ™‚ Its just over a year and a bit since she passed, and I still look for her at church sometimes. When her daughter asked my to put together this quilt top made up of some of Miss Katie’s favorite clothes, I was honored. The daughter cut the squares, planned the pay out, got all the boarder and accent fabrics and all I had to do was sew… which is where I struggled with staying focused.

In the end I think the hours of “mindless” sewing worked out pretty well and Miss Katie’s daughter will have a keep sake from her mother to treasure always. That being said, I probably won’t be doing another one of these for a while ๐Ÿ˜‰

What projects are you working on this week?

    I love it! Great work! I am currently not working on any projects, or maybe my current project is to find a project to work on! I am having five firemen over for lunch today, and yet I am sitting here at the computer. Maybe I should get working on THAT project! Haha!
