I'm in. I'll be working on a 12" square art quilt that is for a fundraiser for our local gallery. I've never done a quilt that small before, so am at a little bit of a loss as to how to get started. Right now I'm experimenting with collaging some handprinted fabric. If that goes well, I'll incorporate it into the quilt. I think it's going to be an abstract landscape. Wish me luck.

No not really just when a longer holiday weekend pops up or when Raggiemom decides to host a thread for one they are thankfully fairly frequently. In the beginning post the next date for one is posted

I'm jumping on Saturday morning after spending too many hours today following Tracking Hurricane Matthew on TV. Got family in GA who live in a VERY low-lying area southwest of Savannah. They had the wisdom to leave this morning and are 3 hours inland at a hotel. But we are all worried about the storm surges which are now predicted to be between 6 to 10 feet in their neighborhood. Hence my TV obsession today.
But I'm exhausted mentally, am headed to bed early, and want to distract myself most of tomorrow. I'm doing sorting, discarding, rearranging,and divesting in prep for yet another move soon. Also got to start on Christmas quilts and gifts.

This is what I started with this morning.
This is made with assorted white, and 13 solid fabrics - but they are ombre so it looks like way more. I'm making enough blocks for a 60" x 60" throw. I figured that was going to be enough work! It's two blocks that alternate.
Got the 4 patch ready for the white corners to be sewn on
And I have all the 9 patch sewn but not pressed yet. My husband came upstairs and said it looked like I was sewing confetti! -

Hi everyone! No sewing for me this weekend unless you count the needlepoint Christmas stocking I brought along on our trip. We have been meandering from home to Las Vegas the past 2 weeks and leave Sunday for a week of driving back home.
I got to spend 2 days and lots of $$ at Missouri Star, and also visited Dodge City, Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, & Grand Canyon on the way. We have a beautiful country and have enjoyed delightful weather all the way.
We are traveling in our fifth wheel camper.
