How is everybody doing? Noone has posted in quite a while.

Happy Mother's Day to all.

I am loving this thread. It is so inspiring watching this thread. You are all so amazing. Who will do the final quilting?

Beautiful pictures ladies! Just looking at these inspires me to make some from my 'wish list.'

Hello, everyone! I am alive and well here in beautiful IN. I have been outside in my flowers and veggie gardens for the last couple of weeks. I do walk through my sewing room now and then! I am anxious to finish the border on Judith's quilt. I plan to get started in the next few days. It will be completed ON TIME!! :o-even when quilting is on the back burner, I know it is my first love! It's easier on my old back than outside work.
As for the quilting part, I plan to do my own, as always. That means it might be a while until it is ready to display, unfortunately....
Happy piecing! Nancy.

Nice to hear from you Nancy. Glad you have been able to work outside - hard on the body but good for the soul.
I also will do my own quilting and like Nancy, not sure when it will be complete.

Hi everyone, I am still working on my round. I have picked an ambitious border. So, will be working very hard to have it done on time. I love how it's coming and hope you will also Paula.

I'm pretty sure that I will be doing my own quilting as well. But, I want to put a final border on it when it comes home. (I think anyway.) We'll see when it comes home. In theory, I like the idea of being the first and the last. That's why I went with a smaller center. We will see....

I am enjoying as much of the spring weather as I can. Hope you all are as well.

Hi Blue Robins,

Just checking in to let you know that I am running right to schedule. I lost my quilty mojo there for awhile. So, I have been making myself work on my border in small increments. Well I think my mojo is finally back. I have been absorbed in working on Paula's quilt top of late. I cannot wait to get to the next design element. That will almost get me to the place I need to be just prior to actually attaching the border. I think I have finally found my passion again. I am not kidding, I have done very little piecing or quilting. I have been working on a knit blanket. And reading. I have to work the next few days. I can't wait to get back to my border. (lol) Figures, lol.

The weather has been just a little cooler. (A little too cool for me.) I can't wait for the sunshine to warm my bones. NO complaints from me about it being too HOT!

I haven't been able to see my grandson again yet. My mother has had some continued health issues. Trying to get them under control so I can go visit and give my grandbaby some cuddles. sigh. I have planned another trip to go see him next month. (Fingers crossed!)

I look forward to seeing what you come up with Nancy. I am starting to get excited to see all the wonderful additions, in person, that you have all added to my quilt top. The journey is almost over.

I have a question Blue Robins? Should we keep the last border a secret until the person receives her quilt top. So that she will be the first one to see her quilt top in it's entirety. I'm fine with whatever yall decide.

Judith - Glad to hear you got your mojo back. Quilting has taken a backseat this week as we have had family in town for my step-daughter's wedding. Excited to see her with her daddy (my dear, nervous hubby) as they walk down the isle tomorrow - One of life's precious moments.

I vote for taking but NOT showing pictures until the quilts are home. Then please share and I will make a side-by-side of each (center only and the finished top) for posting to the thread.

That is stunning, love the colors

That is my vote also Paula. What about the rest of you?
