I love the stitching in the blue quilt..Was this done by hand or machine?? I want to do a wedding ring one day, but first have to learn to paper piece I guess.. Nice work!! Now break is over and back to work for me!!
I didn't know if I would be able to join you all today as there were many things on my plate already. I asked my neighbor to help me get my lawn mower running - and he mowed the lawn for me instead! That was way easier than I expected. So here is what I am working on.
- Little quilt that reminds me of the ocean. I need to quilt the border and had to work out a plan. Done! Well, the drawing part anyway.
- and.... I decided to make a mini double wedding ring. I don't do curves. Decided to try it anyway. These are kinda little (4 rings across and down will finish out to about 18"). I've challenged myself to machine piece it and we'll see how that goes

Great teapots!! I just did some tree tops and worked some on a mystery quilt that I have been doing as leaders and enders and now I am quitting for today but I will keep checking in to see how everyone is doing. And thanks for the suggestions for my tendrils. Think I will try to do that when I quilt it.

So much done by everyone. I layered the baby quilt. Still not in the mood to FMQ, so not working on that. I am working on my 50 paper pieced stars blocks. I thought I was 4 behind, nope I am 7 behind. I have one half way finished. I have done 5 loads of laundry, straightened up the living room. Planted flowers and ran to the store. I made a pie, strawberries, blackberries, blue berries and rhubarb. Now I am on break making dinner. I decided I needed to grill steaks. It is a steak kind of day. Grilling steaks, baked potatoes and broccoli.

I'm just joining in! Church this morning, lunch with oldest DD, home for a long nap. (didn't sleep well at all last night!)
My goal is to get 12 covered buttons made and sewed onto a small wall hanging. I won't be able to post a photo because the camera is on an airplane somewhere between Nairobi and London. DH is on his way home from a pastor's conference he conducted in Kenya this week.

I can see why you are behind on your stars. Good Grief. But I will forgive you if you just invite me to dinner. Sounds absolutely yummy.

I started working on sewing machine caddy-Christmas present for my mother but the sewing room is getting too warm for my liking so guess I'll stop for the night and do some other stuff. I've really enjoyed today.
