I finished one set for a Disappearing Four-Patch swap and have the other set partly done (four patch part done, disappearing part not done!); and almost finished my block for a December quilting bee swap. Also finished a Christmas table mat for a friend and cut pieces for a bag for another friend. And the night is still young!

Hi virtual quilters.
I am not sewing today. We will be going shopping. I still need a few things for Xmas. 'See' you at the next virtual quilting weekend. Good luck with your projects. |

What beautiful projects....my efforts this weekend are extremely humble in comparison. Here's the couch quilt....all I used was a batik sarong (charity shop around $2.00) a cotton mattress protector from way back when my kids were small (now in their 20's). I am sorting the linen cupboard so thought I'd utilise the rejects. The back is a vintage sheet which was in a bag of remnants from a charity store. The quilting is really simple just followed the lines on the sarong. Anyway, serves the purpose and sort of fits with the old cushions and the eclectic decor (probably a bit of a push calling it decor.....our house and it's contents just sort of evolves).

perfect re-purposing.

I guess I can jump in a little late. I finished binding two corduroy squares lap quilts yesterday, cut the strips for Clue 3 of Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice and finished sewing the blocks together for another corduroy squares quilt. Needless to say my sewing space looks like a fabric tornado hit it. Will take pics when daylight appears.

Tapper, your FMQ looks pretty good to me. I get long stitches sometimes too. I think it's because I'm not moving the piece through evenly maybe?

Thanks, I'll have to try that. Still bothering me today even though I used the heating pad on it last night. When my husband is done watching Fantasy Football junk, I'll see if he'll put more bengay on for me. I can't reach it!

Sorry to hear about your pinched nerve. Have you ever tried BioFreeze? We use it constantly for aches and pains. I especially like using it on my arthritis fingers. Currently I am applying it on my DH's back several times a day.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in. Just
Finished cutting the strips and squares for The Path to my Log Cabin. The New Years Day mystery quilt on Quiltbug.com. Happy sewing to all Judy in Phx, AZ |
Thanks to all those who joined me this weekend! I may not have accomplished all that I wanted but it sounds like most of you were very productive. I'm thinking of doing this again Martin Luther King weekend (1/17-1/20) as many will have a 3 day weekend anyway. Hope to see lots of you then.
Happy Holidays to all! |
Oh, not much done here in the way of quilting. I did get some other things done though. Enjoy reading what others have done.
