Wow... that is awesome. We are always in need of dr.s and nurses. So will he be obligated to work for a while at the county hospital, to pay back his tuition? I think those are great programs!

Well girls, I have 7 rows of a row x row quilt completed! I am waiting on one more pattern to come in the mail. I think that will be my last... or I might squeak a 9th pattern in there. I don't think there are many "winners" around here yet, so I may win a prize if I hurry up and complete it. Hey, better get those license plates in the mail to me, so I can put them in my quilt!

This last row had hundreds of pieces (not applique nor paper pieced) to build Graceland. Whew. Like one of our 1930's blocks on steroids!

When I finish this quilt I'd like to do some of the pretty row patterns I have from 2015... maybe 4 of them in a wall hanging for my sewing area. There were some real beauties last year. This year I don't like probably 90% of the row patterns. My favorite state is Alaska for the most beautiful patterns.

Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday rest.

I finished the flimsy of my Bonnie Hunter Mystery for this year Allietare. It went together well for all the pieces. I changed the border, as I saw one that another person did and preferred it. This is the longest I have taken to finish one of her mystery quilts.

Ooooh sew nice, Jeanie...one thing a bout a BH one can expect lots of pieces....

Gorgeous Allietare, Jeanie! Mine is still in the process of being assembled. I got overwhelmed and moved on to other stuff... quilter's A.D.D. Plus mine is in the upstairs sewing room and I haven't been up there in a while. Out of sight, out of mind, for sure. Thanks for the reminder that mine is still waiting for me!

Shame on me... I still have Grand Illusion and two other Bonnie quilts (not mysteries) waiting to be quilted. They are so big that I procrastinate.

I still have Easy Street, Grand Illusion, and now Allietare to sandwich and quilt. I am in the process of quilting Celtic Solstice - about half done. I'll be glad when we are finished with this FWS 30's quilt squares, then I can get back to my backlog. I have so many UFO's of which FWS 30's will be another. Some things need only a border, sashing, or putting the blocks together, then into the to-be-quilted stack they go. They seem to be in many stages!

At least you are making some pretty patterns. You'll have some good quilts when they are done.

Oh JeanieG that quilt is just beautiful. Such pretty colors in all those nice patterns. You must be so proud to have it done thus far. :)

I have my Ruby block done with a minor blooper, because my eyes were so dry. I have it posted.

Forward progress is wonderful, ladies. JeanieG I can really appreciate your success of your progress. Wonderful colors and finished top!

I am almost done with the border for DS trellis quilt...it has been too many years in progress. I hope to finish up at least three quilt tops this week. And take at least three others to quilters next week.

Back to the Dr. this Tuesday for DH; and they will remove the nail on his left big toe. Too much inflection under them for a diabetic two. But he is doing so much better than i thought he would. BIL will be down on Thursday to mow the yard, garden and orchard. Young hen ducks are in their new pen that DH finished yesterday. They remind us of the old cartoons of Baby Huey...

Take care everyone...and celebrate each day this week.

NinaSue, please show us that trellis quilt when you get the borders on!

I love OK & Jennie's finished quilts. They are both lovely examples of Bonnie Hunter Quilts. I have Talking Turkey almost cut out. It is one of over 50 UFO's that I put in bins to store under the beds in Brady.
We are still cleaning the carpet. We are cleaning the carpet in my bed room. The place that the dogs sleep has to be gone over again & again. Taking a lunch break right now.
