Two down and ???? Left to go

I started this quilt top two weeks ago after coming home from lunch with quilt friends.

I continued working on it here and there as I had time and felt up to it. It's called Dream Catchers but I don't remember right off who designed it. I was able to finish it on Saturday with time left to get a tiny headstart on the next quilt top called Fire and Rain. It's a quick and easy quilt but because I took a nap and surfed the web longer than I should have yesterday, I ended up not getting it finished until midnight. By that time, I was tired of opening seams and pressing so only a couple were done.

I also forgot to take a pic of it finished before I folded it up and put it in a tote to share at lunch with the same quilt friends today. Apparently all three of us had a rough night last night because none of us felt like going out to lunch today. I suggested maybe we could do it Wednesday...we'll have to see how everyone feels. I had a scare a few days ago; I couldn't find my Twitter quilt top (the birds with the long legs). I looked around the house for it then tried to remember what I did with it when I brought it home from the lunch with the quilting friends. I couldn't remember! I woke up about 5 in the morning two (or three) days ago and was trying to remember where we had lunch that day so that I could go check to see if it was in their lost and found (if they even have one). I was really getting stressed about it. I finally prayed to St. Anthony (he answers prayers from Baptists, too) and started looking through a pile of quilt tops, backing fabric, etc. that I had looked through before at least once, maybe twice. There it was! I found it in less than five minutes from the time I prayed. St. Anthony to the rescue again...there are days that I imagine he's thinking "Oh no! Not her again!" LOL I honestly do try and find it myself before asking him for help. Ok, I'm off to make a couple of things for my trip next month. I'll tell you about it when I get back. Have a great day. TTYL

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!
