i am working on finishing the border and then i think he needs more thread painting in the blue sections. He is a wall hanging so the fact that he is turning out to be a bit stiff is okay.

That Red Quilt - the quilting is finally finished. I also stitched around the outer edge to secure them before trimming & have trimmed it up. However, I don't have enough fabric for the batting so will have to get some more really soon. In the mean time, I'm gonna play with my Go! Baby. I have 2 large tubs of scraps to chop up.

I got up early and made a ottoman quilt before the hubby got up. I then donated two bags of scraps. I have been having a tough time using my fabrics since I have it in my head to use up my scraps first...so I decided to donate more....so now I am cutting up my baliks and hope to have them cut up by tomorrow and start a King size quilt for our bedroom. So glad I got rid of my scraps...I have lots of fabrics and was getting sick of using the some ones all the time, even though it is a nice feeling using them.

Great projects everyone. I am quilting a quilt for my granddaughter's birthday. It is next Saturday. I am also going to use up the extra squares for a quilt for her American girl doll. Good thing I work well under pressure. I'll take pics tomorrow.

Still plugging away at mine, although it is slow going. No screaming kids or visiting in-laws but I've had a cold for a week and now its settled in my lungs, giving me a nasty case of bronchitis. But I did do some more flying geese for the stars quilt. Anybody know any good home remedys for bronchitis? The only thing I can find online is get lots of rest and drink water.
I will post update pics tomorrow evening, hoping to get a little bit more done.

Well, I had great hopes when this thread began. Woke up this morning to wind and rain. Perfect quilting weather . . . oops . . . we lost power for several hours. Well, at least I got a start on a knit hat for DGD. When the power came back on, did some machine embroidery nativity figures. They will be a flannel board for DGD. About the only quilting progress I made was to get some red fabric color-set (I hope) so I can use it in a quilted tree skirt for DD (housewarming gift). When I finish the nativity figures, I'll be able to get the tree skirt fabric cut up and start piecing. (The embroidery machine sits on my cutting table when in use.)
I just love all the projects posted here. Hope those of you with little ones can fit in at least a few minutes. In the meantime, enjoy them while they are home. Mine are gone, and I really miss them!

I spent the day at the International Quilt Festival, Houston! It was a wonderful day. Saw Eleanor Burns, purchased her new wonky log cabin template, saw Ricky Tims & Alex Anderson and won a $10 gift certificate to Superior Threads From The Quilt Show. Came home tired and broke. Picked up my machine from a servicing - ready to sandwich/quilt a lap quilt tomorrow. the whole weekend spent in quilt heaven.

We were planning on going out for dinner.... but have pasta cooking now.... probably won't get back to my BOM tonight as it is already 7:46 pm....

Scraps & Crumbs
I'm working on a Mystery Quilt, and a bunch of Bonnie Hunter inspired scrap blocks, between football games. I need to start machine quilting a child's quilt that is a gift. And I'm including a recently finished Quilt of Valor top that I'm shipping to the LA assigned to me next week.
