Current Projects Progress – 04/16/2021

After nearly 8 weeks working on my Five Current Projects I continue to be making progress. This week I’m trying to catch up blogging about my progress. I also have some additional work under my needle. See my post about all my current projects – Click Here. So here’s my current progress on my Project 5 – My Hometown BOM.

BOM, QAL, WIP, UFO, OMG,
Tops for Fabric Cafe

Project #5 – 2021 My Hometown BOM (63″ Square Quilt)

Block 3 is finished & Block 4 won’t be released until next month so no work is needed. A Block of the Month (BOM) has only one Block released per month, so it’s pretty easy to keep up with it unless you forget to work on it.

Block 3 – My Hometown BOM

This is not a mystery, we know what it will look like. The pattern has two models on it, one Spring colors and the other Summer, but I chose to go with an Autumn theme. Here are the first 3 blocks. We have two more Blocks – they will be set on point, but will have sashing between them.

Other Sewing Accomplished –

I did a couple of quickie projects. It’s nice to have some things actually finished.

Miscellaneous Sewing –

I got two Spring themed pillowcases made,

I also stitched up a cute Tool Caddy for the sewing supplies I use near my Sewing Machine. I got the pattern off the Internet. You can find the pattern/tutorial Here.

While waiting for the Fabric Cafe package to arrive I pulled out some scraps and made a couple drawstring bags and 2 stuffed toys. I still need to hand stitch the opening used to insert the stuffing.

Fabric Cafe Tops:

Wednesday, I got a package from Fabric Cafe – More sample tops to make. Yesterday I completed one Top, plus made the blocks and almost finished creating the rows for Top #2. You will really love these! I’ll write a post about them soon.
