Sneak Peek of the Week ~ Charity Quilts

I'm linking up this week at Studio JRU for...

In The Studio

Jennifer, of Studio JRU, hosts a weekly link up for creative individuals to share, wherever they might work, whatever they have been working on that week.  This week, I was able to spend at little time in the room where I sew.  Surprisingly, I accomplished more than I originally thought I would.  I enjoy sewing as a creative outlet and am truly enjoying quilting more and more.

I finished one quilt in its entirety this week.

After completing the above quilt, I decided to start working on my Charity quilts.  You can read more about them here.  I originally planned to finish one top and chose to make the Eye Spy pattern first.  I had the pieces cut and ready to go Wednesday and then finished the top in about 1 hour.  It's a very simple pattern and I like it a lot...so I'm thinking of using it myself very soon!

This is my favorite of the three that I chose!

I began work on a second quilt, but didn't get very far, as my children were home from school.  I had the row strips sewn together.

I was able to spend time sewing in the evening and finished it up, not as quickly, due to the fact that I had a date with my seam ripper for about 15 minutes. =OP  It's a 9 Patch pattern and you can download simple patterns on the Quilts for Kids website.

This was actually more work than the first quilt and I'm not quite as happy with it.  It's still nice though. =)

Finally, I was either crazy or ambitious and decided to start the last quilt which was a Rail Fence.  I think this would be my least favorite.  A couple of the strips provided weren't cut accurately, so I had to  include my own...which was fine, I just don't have much in the line of kids fabrics.  The yellow is my contribution...I think the quilt would've looked better without my having to do that.

It's still cute and I'm sure it will be loved...it's just not right...I know it, such is life...I'll get over it. =)

That's my week.  I won't be sewing anymore this weekend...I'll be cleaning and then cooking for our church instead.  I'm looking forward to having this opportunity, it's something I used to do full time and I do enjoy making a nice meal.

I hope you have a wonderful Friday and blessed weekend!
