I haven't had time for any quilting today. Went to church this morning and then returned home with the whole family to slow smoke ribs and carve pumpkins. We now have nine masterpieces from myself, DH, 4 DS, 2 DIL, and 1 girlfriend. Everybody said is seemed like Christmas without all the expense of gifts. It was one of those days you want to keep forever. Tomorrow I hope after work I have some time and energy to finish quilting a queen size snowball and 9-patch for DS's girlfriends' birthday on the 11th. She requested one like the one on his bed and brought fabrics from childhood curtains, and other things that had good memories. I've had a huge headache with the tee shirt strip on the backing, but I know it will be well loved and appreciated. Reading these posts I'm getting motivated to use up the 2 1/2 inch strips I cut from all my scraps soon. I just mailed out a DP9 baby quilt made from some of the 4" squares I cut from my scraps.
