Several things were on the top of my list to cross the finish line. First up a UFO that was started in June of 2025. It made it to a flimsy stage, perhaps you remember seeing it before. This past week it got it's turn on the longarm with a quick and easy stipple.
It all began innocently by piecing scrap strings last year...
And quickly cut using my 12" Accuquilt signature die.
This is what it looks like when putting four of those six inch blocks together. And 2 weeks later it was a flimsy.
I pieced the backing with fabric that was donated to me. This quilt is a donation quilt, I believe this is my seventh one for this year. There is still at least one more in the closet that needs quilting, I hope I get time to do it.
A tan muslin was used for the triangles.
It is never too early to make seasonal items when you sell them! Four Easter bunny table runners completed.
And their fun backings.
In between all that I kitted up a few projects for winter sewing and knitting! I hope to use one of my knitting machines to make hats for donation.
This has been my evening stitching while watching TV for the last two weeks. It's one of Melisa's houses. I hope to add the finishing stitches on Sunday so I will link to Slow Stitching Sunday
Linking with others who show off their finishes or in progress work at
Oh I like that pattern! I had an AccuQuilt at one point but finally sold it, because I never used it. Makes me wish I had it back! Your fabrics are really pretty together. Where do you donate your quilts? Aren't Melissa's houses so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave your leaves turned yet? I bet you are having some nice fall weather.
I really like string quilts and yours is great - cute bunnies
ReplyDeleteOMG - those bunnies are adorable!! They've captured my heart! I love the string quilt. I did one similar a couple of years ago and donated it to Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Now I'm thinking I need to make another one. I love how yours has the tan corners, and darker color strings. Awesome finishes!!
ReplyDeleteI had to smile seeing the Debbie Mumm fabric on the back of you donation quilt. My first quilt was using her Noah's Ark first line. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteI love that string quilt design! I've seen other versions of it, but didn't realize you could cut the pieces with an Accuquilt die. The Easter bunnies are adorable, and your cross-stitch looks great! I think I stitched that one, but changed the house color. The sunflowers are what make it fun!
ReplyDeleteThose Easter table runners are so cute!! Love seeing your creations!
ReplyDeleteLook at all of those pretty fabrics! What a fabulous quilt and I bet using the Accuquilt made the process a lot quicker. Oooh that backing is amazing too- The bunny runners make me smile. You certainly have made a lot of pretties, Vicki. And I am so honored that you have been working on one of my humble homes. You brought a smile to my day. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things! Enjoy your stitching time!
ReplyDeleteSo your UFOs are all caught up now? Want a few of mine?? Heehee. Your quilts look great - the string quilt is very fun and I love the bunnies!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finished UFO! I love the scrappy look. Your Easter bunnies are too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the cross stitching project too, beautiful.
So they start innocently enough. Sneaky strings. Looks great. Cute bunnies too.
ReplyDeletepretty quilt and I love those bunnies!!
ReplyDeleteYour finished string quilt is lovely! I love string quilts! The bunnies are super cute too! Your progress on Melisa's stitchery is great. That is one cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt finish and lovely bunny runners. That cross stitch house is lovely. I love seeing Melissa's projects. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLove your scrap string quilt, Vicki congrats on this beautiful finish. The sunflower saltbox house looks great, it is in my wish to stitch list. Have a happy stitching week!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki, your string quilt is lovely - I'm sure that it will be very appreciated! I love your Bunny runners - too cute :-) Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love your cross stitch and your bunnies are fun :)
ReplyDeleteThat's how they start right? So innocently haha!! What a great colorful quilt tho!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of your strings. I've been starting to go through bags of scraps and didn't want to throw away all the strips less than 2". This might be a perfect solution. Did you cut the finished shape with a die from a Cube? It looks like one to me and that would make the whole project so much easier. Bunnies, although very early, are also very cute.
ReplyDeleteOh those bunnies!!! So adorable! And kudos on the string quilt. I've just never gotten into doing those, but sure do have a ton of strips I could use! LOL.
ReplyDeleteString quilts are the best! Those bunnies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat string quilt, Vicki!!! I need to make these blocks again--too many scrap strips!
