As much as I've tried to stay focused on getting a few UFO's done, I couldn't help myself from a couple of little projects.
I'm calling this one Dixieland.
Dixie made the little block with the cutout and I couldn't resist doing a couple of more applique blocks. I tried adding an additional border but it wasn't working at all, so I'm going to leave this one "as is". Thanks again Dixie!!
Here's a little quilt I made from the Provence scraps
Valentina sent to me. All of still smells heavenly from the lavender she sent with it. I'm calling it Provence through Cyprus.Thank you Valentina!! I only had to add two squares on my own fabric. Can you spot them?
And here's what I did with my Wool Crazy Round Robin. I won't be putting any pins in it, but I found this frame that worked perfectly!! I have it hanging next to an old bright red child's swimsuit. It fits the summer theme perfect. Thanks again ladies!!
Little finishes -- NOT! :-) Those are big deals! I love the wool framed up -- perfect solution for that wonderful project. And I agree with you on the baskets. LOVE that stripey border on them. I'm guessing the "orangy" squares in the next to bottom row are yours!? Very cool!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I can't spot the two fabrics you added. :-) I need to look a bit closer. The baskets are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love how you 'finished' your wool tidbit - perfect.
Great finishes, all three.
ReplyDeleteAre the 2 squares you added in the blue round, just right of center, one near the top and one near the bottom? They have more background, but are the same blue...I'm not sure.
The wool project in the frame is perfect.
Your framed Round Robin is really wonderful ! And I love your minis baskets & provençal top !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous small prosjects, and how fun it must bee to have them as finish quilts :o) Love your little wool quilt, and the frame must have been made to fint this little quilt. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe wool piece is fantastic in that frame you found. Those little baskets are tempting me as well.
ReplyDeleteYour little quilts are adorable and yes, we do get sidetracked, don't we! I love your Round Robin pincushion turned framed art too. I love the little sheep best.
ReplyDeleteLove it all love it all.
ReplyDeleteRound Robin is perfect in that frame.
You've been busy, Lori! What a diverse and lovely bunch of little quilts.
ReplyDeleteLori, these are all so cute!!! I love the framed wool piece and the baskets have been on my list since the book came out. I made the templates. Does that count? The way you made a little quilt with just four of them is darling!
ReplyDeleteYour basket quilt is perfect!! Love it! AND your wool crazy mat- Gorgeous!! Love the way you stitched the year on it...must do that to mine!! Darn...I am wishing mine is square now...ha ha

Sometimes it is just nice to do a little side project just to get that little sense of completing something. The baskets are sweet and I also like the framing on the wool piece. My first ever quilt block never made it into a quilt, it is framed and hanges in my quilt room, a moon over the mountain block.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching,
Cheri
I love what you did with the little wool piece. The sheep with the flag is precious!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the framed wool piece. it must look awfully cute next to the swim suit? :)
little projects are a wonderful way to wrap your head around ufo's (I speak from experience, lol).
ReplyDeleteI especially LOVE how you framed your wool crazy RR. What a perfect way to enjoy it...

Well they are great little finishes. The wool crazy is great. It could not have worked out any better. Love all your projects that you are finishing..
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to frame the wool piece. What a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI do like what you do with your basket block by adding it to some more and making a little quilt.
Nothing like small finishes to stir the soul. Love the baskets and it's layout!
ReplyDeleteLove your little baskets. Great idea to frame your wool round robin! It looks even better, if that is possible.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Oh, almost forgot the adorable little trip around the world. Such small pieces.
Oh Lori! Love what you did with the basket blocks - the quilt turned out so cute. I'm so honored that one of my blocks made its way into one of your adorable quilts! Love your wool framed quilt too - you are so clever!
ReplyDeleteWow those baskets are just adorable !!! I love the crazy quilt block all framed up like that, I had never thought to do that :)
ReplyDeleteI tried to spot the two fabrics that you added and I couldn't find them...but I do love that little quilt and I love the little basket quilt.

They are all very cute. The wool frame you have to go with it turned out to be a great match
ReplyDeleteThe wool crazy looks great framed, and you can enjoy it a lot more that way. Love the basket quilt, especially the Cocheco fabric, my favorite! You have certainly been productive this week!
ReplyDeleteI really love what you did with your wool stitchery. What a great memory it will be.
ReplyDeleteI love your Wool Crazy Round Robin. I really like it in the frame.
