Love your scrappy chevron, Thimblebug!

Yes, I'll join you all in a big sewing weekend. I have plenty of quilts to work on... Will show progress as I go along. Pictures are more fun than words, no?

My husband went hunting and left the girls (13 and 15) and me home for the weekend. I'll be trying to finish the quilting on an EPP star quilt ( queen sized) and also spray basting 5 quilts that I finished 2 weeks ago at quilting retreat. Today is Sew Club at church. It's going to be a great weekend.

Our small quilting group is going on a shop hop Saturday. Only 4-5 going so we can all go in one vehicle. There are 7 quilt shops participating each in a different town in our rural community so there is some driving involved. Maybe Sunday I can finish a spring wall hanging.

I too started my quilty sew day late yesterday afternoon. I am working of putting together my Scrappy Hunter Star blocks. I joined jclinganary's block swap the last couple of months. I made and received enough blocks to make a queen size quilt and a lap quilt. The lap quilt is almost done. It just needs to have a final border. I will post photos in a little while. I must get my errands done and a load of laundry done before I can have fun.

I'm going to be spending a lot of time helping DH with putting the upper floor in on our grain bin conversion. I'm going to be storing my excess sewing cabinets in there.

In between, I plan on working on my OMG quilt I was working on the last VQW we did. I've got all the 2" squares complete, so now I'll be putting them together to make the 5" 9 patch blocks. At least it's no longer like working with confetti!

We are using this weekend to autumn clean our home but I'm hoping to make two Christmas stockings and make a start on three cloth "buckets" for Christmas presents. Thanks for organising.

Been working on a paper piecing project called Arcadia. Left it alone most all week till late last night. Now I want to at least the the 12 sections to each block assembled together. Found out I'd stitched a couple sections together wrong so frogged them before I headed for bed. Didn't want that to stare me in the face this morning. My goal is to get all 12 blocks assembled and then if time, cut the triangles that go around them. Don't need to have this project finished for another year but don't want to wait till the last moment either as I still have to decide on quilting patterns. I'm splitting the original pattern into 2 lap size quilts and by adding another section of triangles on either side will make them around 70L x 60W each. I'm using mostly batiks as shown in the photo and will also be using 2 different navy blues for the background.

Thanks Raggiemom for hosting again.

I'm joining in. I enjoy reading everyone's posts and looking at the wonderful projects. 2 great pictures already.

Things I will be working on today:

cutting up some donated, irregularly-shaped, remnants into squares or strips

a donation quilt top

cleaning off my cutting tables

sewing scrappy 2.5" squares into 4 patches(leader/ender project for donation quilt top)

sewing dresdan blades together- I am sewing them side-by-side and not peaking them as they are leftovers from a project where I decided to make bigger blades. . Time to get them sewn together and into a scrappy quilt. (2nd leader/ender project.)

I'm going to do another block or two on the Splendid Sampler quilt I'm enjoying so much! And also some hand quilting on my Dresden while watching football. Go Seahawks!

Suz - I have that pattern too! I really like how yours is turning out. I bought the fabric and have had it and the pattern in a box for over a year.

I think the part that is holding me back is I don't really like the grey. Maybe I'd prefer it with a pastel or something.
