Our charity group director sent out an email saying how badly one of our hospitals needed quilts for men... so I got out my plaids and started cutting. I'll be trying to get that one done this weekend, plus whatever else I can get to. I have so many tops to quilt!

Zozee, prayers for your son. I'm sure they don't want to leave the rest of his appendix in there. Hope all works out well for him.

Jasper is a cute kitty. So fuzzy and chilled!

I have a lot of "other stuff" to do besides quilting but I'm going to try to get some done on the king sized bed quilt I'm doing using the quilting in sections method.

For once, I'm IN!! We're in an ice-storm "watch"...the predictions for a "devastating ice storm" have not come to pass, fortunately... a quilty friend had planned to come over to "play" today, but just as she was leaving her house it began to sleet...she pulled back into the garage and we cancelled our play day.... If we'd only known that was IT for the storm, at least so far. More ice is still predicted, but so far, no ice and we still have power! After I prepared food for the expected loss of power, I finally sat down to work on my sweet DIL's long-anticipated quilt. After posting a question regarding that quilt, I decided to stick around the board for a bit... and here I am... The rest of tonight and tomorrow is dedicated to the quilt! May all your bobbins stay full!!!

I've got my sister's wedding anniversary and a friend's baby due in may, so I'd better make some progress finishing a wedding quilt and starting a baby blanket.

I'm in again this weekend. I will be iced in for a day or so. So here goes my list of my projects to make some progress.
- I plan to complete steps 5 & 6 on BH mystery quilt.
- Then make 4 more log cabin blocks, and put the top together & get ready to take to quilter.
- make a 10" block for the quilting bee for this month.
- clear off my quilting machine and set up my chewie quilt to start quilting.
- do next step on Judy's mystery #16 train ride.

I will start sewing tomorrow AM. I only have 2 days to do the sew along. I'll post picks if my i-pad will let me post them. I've tried to post pics on another site and I'm unable to post them at this time.

I am in. I just found out my LA is selling the machine that she rents out. I have three queen size quilts to quilt. So, I have to add a border to one of them so I can get them finished. One of my nieces has made a request for a baby quilt and matching layette, since she can't find anything she wants that she can afford. Then, I saved a pillow pattern called "Love Notes" on FB and her sister, who is getting married in May wants one of those. Looks like I have more than enough to keep me busy. And did I mention that I dumped several totes of scraps on the bed to sort them and I really need to clean that up.

I'm in! Also dealing with ice this weekend--which meant that I had to postpone the first beginners class that my Guild does annually (7 weeks for the price of membership!) and a guild sew-in for charitable tote bags for foster kids. Sooo, finished a practice whole cloth that is "dry run" for one that I plan to make for KCRegional Quilt Fest--pictures tomorrow as it's drying from blocking now. And I HAVE to start on another quilt--both the actual whole cloth and the other quilt have to be done by March 1. So count me in!

my "dry run" on a whole cloth (which will be little bigger) -not bound,just dried from being blocked. I'm already seeing some things I will change. [ATTACH=CONFIG]565602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]565604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]565605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]565606[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]565603[/ATTACH]

Well, it is 11 pm and I have completed 5 of 25 blocks quilted. Was starting to reposition the clips when I decided it was time to quit for the night. I really miss those days when I could sew to the wee hours of the night. Now when I do that something terrible happens - either I get the scissors too close when trimming threads or fabric gets twisted under the part I am sewing. Usually I quit around 9:30 or 10 - but tonight I was so close to finishing the row to stop. And there are 2 more days - actually three if I count Monday. :-0

Have to get it done this weekend, my friend is coming from AZ to go to the Road to CA show is next weekend. We plan to go Friday, but if it is really good I may drive up again. My friend is also making an Old Mac Donald quilt and she wants to see my finished quilt to get some inspiration to finish hers.
