Hi, quiltingshorttimer, you sound like you are happily getting things done. I understand about the memory quilts - I have a hard time trying to figure how much clothing is needed for different sizes of memory quilts. Good luck, I am sure they will come together for you and be treasured.

I'm really wanting to do some wool applique....I've purchased recycled wool items from Goodwill and other thrift stores, washed and dried it on hot/high and taken it apart at the seams. I just can't decide on a pattern. And that is driving me insane as I want to work on this while my husband and I watch TV at night. I'll sew and quilt during the daytime.

I'm working on my summer quilt right now. It's in the FMQ stage. Yesterday I got as far as I'd marked and kept working on marking it for today's session. My husband wants a special piece done for him and my cousin wants a King sized scrappy quilt, but is so fussy I don't know where to begin. Plus I've got to find some white on white fabric I've been moving here and there as well as picking out some pieces for the young lady who wants me to teach her to quilt this year. Always busy...

I started a bedspread for a full size mattress (all the way to the floor) of 2" HST. a YEAR ago. How far am I? Only about 2/3. Problem is....I no longer like the project, PLUS I am getting better as time goes on so the beginning pieces already sewn in are not looking decent compared to the newer ones. *sigh* I know I have to finish it....but it is a chore trying to gather the enthusiasm to do so.

Almost done with intense custom quilting on my grandson's Traveling Turtle quilt
Just finished quilting a Bug Jar quilt for a friend's 2 yr. old for Christmas
Just finished making a utility tote for ME for my sewing supplies
Need to quilt my DH's Christmas quilt, but need help with artistic quilting when my son arrives on the 22nd.
Need to embroider three Christmas towels before tonight's neighborhood eat-out..............yikes
Haven't decorated or done cards yet either.
I need more days in December!!!

I have the binding left to hand sew on a Christmas gift (really need to going on that) and I have three commitment quilts that I need to have done before the end of May 2017. I honestly have so many quilts that I want to do that it is almost paralyzing as to where to start and work keeps getting in the way of my quilting time!!!!

hey--since you are in MO, are you aware of the Kansas City Regional Quilt Fest June 15-17? It will be huge and fun (its the 2nd one--14 local guild sponsor this ) with 70+ classes (23 teachers); 135 vendors and more on waiting list, a couple of special collections, and over 700 quilts--come on over!(plus 4 hotels around the Overland Park convention Center where it's held are offering discounts).
