I have a twister baby quilt ready to machine quilt, just waiting for a day off to do that. I have an idea to make a small quilt to hang over the fireplace opening at my DD house to stop the draft coming down the chimney. I can put magnets in the corners to stick to the metal insert.

Just finished a coffee cup quilt that has been in the works for several years!

Also, am finishing a wall hanging for my eye doctor (wish I could post pictures). It's a before and after eyes design; the before is a deconstruction using Carol Ann Waugh's, Stitch & Slash method and the after (construction) uses Rose Hughes applique in a new way method.

I'm finishing up three charity quilts (all in various states), and then I need to get back to the wallhangings (4) and kids' quilts (2) for Christmas.

Dang. I really ought to log off, huh.

I'm currently working on my first quilt. It's just a bunch of charm squares in a radiating diamond shape. Right now I'm just piecing the top together, trying to figure everything out along the way. (I don't know anyone who quilts, so I've been teaching myself through reading the forums here and watching YouTube videos.)

I'm doing great for me. I'm usually frantically trying to finish everything up 3 days before Christmas. 3 lap quilts, a wallhanging, and a pair of pillowcases are done. Still have to finish up a Santa placemat for grand niece, another pair of pillowcases amd a table topper. Then I'm done. I also have all my shopping, except for a few stocking stuffers, done. Yay for me this year!

I am new to this site and a new quilter (August of this year). I am wondering if anyone knows how I could incorporate a picture of my grandchildren into a quilt. If so, so you have an idea for the quilt itself...have you made one before using pictures. I have used inkjet printable fabric for labels but they seem a little thin for the center of a quilt. Thank you, and i apologize if this isn't where I was supposed to post my question. Have a good day!

I want to make pillows for the local animal shelter, but having trouble sewing through layers of plush fleece. The material is so soft and I thought the animals would love it.
