So, what will you be quilting/sewing this weekend? I am working on handquilting my 1930's quilt top, more bags/purses, and my daughter's quilt.... my husband keeps asking me what I want to do on Monday (he's off work) - I don't have the heart to tell him that he can take the boys fishing and I'll just stay home without them and sew... :lol:

I am going to try and work on a baby quilt for my Physical Therapist. I will be going to see him again to work my knee that I just had surgery on. He just had his 3rd child, first girl and I would love to walk into my appointment next week with a gift for him. That is if my knee will let me!!

I spent yesterday cleaning my sewing room/laundry room. Between loads of laundry today, I am going to work on two camo quilts for my nephews. I want to be done with the tops by the end of the week so I can start quilting them!

I am going to put the binding on a quilt I have had done for a few weeks.

Not quite sure yet. I have a color wheel that's ready for the binding, a pillow cover to make for my mom (which should be really easy), and working on a table runner.

I hope to pin baste and machine quilt, a quilt for GS and finish his curtains for his room. I have a pillow case cut out to make for his brother, his quilt is done and curtains are finished. If I have more time I will probably finish and baby quilt top and get it ready to machine quilt.
I hope everyone has a great holiday doing whatever they have planned.

I'm going to work on a lap quilting project which incorporates embroidery and appique.

My plan is to do two pillows for a friend using photo fabric. Then when those are completed I will start on a embroidered top for a pillow. Both are orders. Then I can start on something for me!

Come hang out with us!

Half way done opening the pool - almost break time!

I hope to get the main part of a quilt for one of my granddaughters done this weekend. We will be seeing them soon and I want her to pick out the backing. Actually, I'm making 2 scrappies that use the same fabric, so both girls can pick out backs after seeing the one front.

Quilting and a BBQ on Sunday :D:D:D

I want to finish the borders on the quilt for MY bed and get the binding started! Enjoy the weekend everyone!

I'm trying to get the mitered border done on a quilt for my best friend from high school. I won't say how old I am,lol! This was a UFO, but I finally dragged it out of the closet so I could work on it.

I work most of the weekend so Monday is my only quilting day.

So far I finished quilting a queen size white and solids Kona jelly roll quilt, washed it and am drying it to block. Tomorrow will bind it. I binded a small block I did as a wallhanging for a friend, cleaned my room a bit...again...and selected my next project. Still have two days left so anything can happen. I am known for changing my plans and finish something else instead.

I plan on finishing a warm wishes quilt I had started a couple of days ago. It was for a man who was diagnosed with cancer but he passed last night but I am finishing it anyway. I don't know what I will do with it but I just had the feeling it had to be finished.

I am practicing my fmq on the frame my husband bought me in Sept. It is a wooden frame that you use your own sewing machine on. It is not going so well. (I want to burn it and get a tin lizzie,,,,) He meant well though. It is just not the same and does not glide. I also need to take my seem ripper and take apart 18 blocks apart on a log cabin that I did wrong.

You can borrow my seam ripper. Just got a new one, the other one didn't want to work anymore. I have no idea why. :shock:

I've got my fireworks entry quilt, for this summer's competition to get machine quilted. It's in four sections, easily workable sizes, to machine quilt on my home sewing machine. Lots to do and not that many weeks left to finish it.

Finish the quilt that WAS under the machine. Sewing the binding..checking for missed quilting and snipping threads. Wash/dry and then ready for giving at work on Tuesday.

Then need to look at the list of people I want to make a quilt for and see who's next! Have miles of fabric and lots of ideas. Just need to focus a bit.

We don't entertain or picnic since we care for Mom who has alz so easy to find time to sew. DH will probably run around the mall and Walmart and the guys will go to a movie. Sounds like a good plan to me..right?!?

I just got home from a quilting retreat at my LQS - It was from 10-10 and got a lot done. They have been having them once a month and it has worked well. Will try to finish up the Not Your Grandmother's Garden that I started today - Have fun

Today I finished cleaning/reorganizing my sewing room. To be honest, it does not look much better than when I started. I have too much stuff and not enough storage. Tomorrow I intend to cut out the block for the BOM I am doing, cut the bindings for 3 quilts, and get them sewed onto the fronts. Then I can hand stitch them to the back while I watch TV in the evenings.

Im trying to finish a 30s repo quilt, just an easy 9 patch, but I have had to work alot this weekend, so its going SLOW!
