WIP Wednesday: Getting Close to Having to Shut Down

At the end of the month I am moving to a new house which is very exciting, especially because in my new home I will have my own dedicated sewing room. Hooray for not having to disassemble all my work every time we have people over for dinner!

With that in mind I am in a serious time crunch to get sewing done before all my fabric and my machine are packed away to get moved. 

I am very happy with my progress on my daughter's teacher's thank you quilt. This is a picture of the quilt top and I already have the backing on, it is quilted and I am just working away on hand stitching the binding. It came together very quickly I think, in part, because of my meticulous planning.

A scrappy Moda Love star quilt for my daughter's Grade One teacher.

And it wouldn't be sewing time at my house if there wasn't a baby quilt (or five) on the go!

I also have been working on this teal, turquoise and navy kitty quilt. It has to be gender neutral because the mom and dad weren't able to find out if they're expecting a boy or girl. Both are kitty crazy, though, so I think this will work just fine.

I also had one of those quilter's moments where an idea was in my head and I had to do the fabric pull because it was haunting me. My husband's aunt turns 65 in two years (!) and she begged me to make her a quilt. I know I have lots of time. In fact, maybe even too much time. But she said she wanted browns (not my favourite) and then I found this Lewis & Irene fabric that I really liked and then I couldn't get the darn quilt out of my head!

Here is my pull for that quilt (Lewis&Irene inspiration fabric on top):

Some precious Lotta, some Allison Glass, some Cotton+Steel- really this pull now is quite lovely so I'm looking forward to making it!

After the teacher's quilt and the teal kitty quilt, however, I am back to the grey, white and navy baby quilt for a co-worker.

How many quilts do you think I can sew under my deadline?
