Quick update!

The Patriotic Quilt top is done!! Yay!

Tomorrow is lunch with some of my quilting friends where I'll be back working/coloring in bears that I embroidered years ago. I can't remember if I shared them before...not doing it tonight either way- it will have to wait til next time I blog. I also need to pick out some fabrics for a quilt along I'll be doing for the next four weeks. Other than that, not a whole lot going on. Busy week ahead but just oil change, bath for one dog and nails trimmed for the other, my hair done and one dr appt. Speaking of dogs, I've got one whining because it's time for their bedtime treat. Later gaters.....

Making progress ...just not blogging about it.

Two more blocks to go...hope to have the top done by the weekend.

Not much to report

I still have Uncle Sam to finish before I can move on to the next block but I got so frustrated that I needed longer to calm down before trying to work on it again. And I had other things to do - like getting my hair done. a visit to new doctor, family reunion (had to make a dish to pass for that and this year it couldn't be Taco Salad because of the virus) and lunch with my quilting friends. I also contacted some women who are making dresses for little girls in Africa and I'm going to be joining them when I can. I had hoped to do it this week but with the muggy weather making it harder for Mr to breathe and my back hurting (nothing unusual there), I put it off til next week. Oh yeah, and Ive been working with a travel agent to plan my trip to Salt Lake City in October...and we're also trying to work it out so that I can go over to Las Vegas after I'm done in SLC so I can go see Cirque de Soile...something I've wanted to do for years. Anyway, the tote bag

for my hair styling student great granddaughter was shipped off yesterday and she should get it Monday. And that's it for today.....unless you want to see my Kindergarten Sunflowers (they only grow to about 10" tall).

On to the next project

I started this one the day before yesterday and its going quicker than I thought it would. Too late for the 4th of July but we still have five months left of the 250th year so I'm saying there's still time to enjoy it. First row of untrimmed blocks and without sashing...

There's another block where the pieces are fused and cut out but they havent been fused to the background square yet - that will come tomorrow. and here's the pattern.

Thats it for now. TTYL

Let's catch up

After a period of time where I didnt seem to be getting much of anything done let alone any quilting, I finally got some mojo back. In the past couple of weeks, I have completed a medium sized lap quilt, a wall hanging and the tote bag I promised my oldest great granddaughter...and started another wall hanging.

. I haven't finished my first block of the next project. The pieces are cut and fused onto the background square but I haven't stitched them down yet. It's a patriotic wall hanging that I had hoped to have done in time for the 4th of July but I couldn't start it until I had finished the other projects so I'd have more elbow room to work on it. That's OK, I'm sure we'll be celebrating all year long. Well, it wasn't much to report/share but it proof that I'm still in the quilting world. Now, I have to go empty and reload the dishwasher...sigh. I'll try and have some more pics to share next week. Until then, take care, stay safe and quilt away with abandon. TTYL

Quick update

 I finished this quilt yesterday. That makes three quilts for the month of May. May!

I have a new backing loaded onto Mo'e but that's as far as I've gotten with it.  I need to get back to working on another UFO quilt top (Twitter) that I started back to working on last week. Lots of piecing along with a row of applique - it's going to be a little while.

OK, off to clean the inside of my fridge...Happy Quilting!

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one but not from the other. Oops! It looks like the photo didn't get transferred from my phone to my tablet - I'll have to go look for it. Found it but it won't show here for some reason. ..and neither will the photo of the placemats and bowl cozies.
