I am making lots and lots of crumb blocks.. I am also waiting anxiously for my order from JHittle.com to get my snaps to continue making my beach tote bags I plan to sell later this Spring and Summer. I plan to make the next BOM tonight after work. I just finished Gavin's baby quilt yesterday (I had to sew the journal label to the back of it). I hope to give that to the little boy this weekend. He is 1 years old. hmmm what else... cause you know us quilters always have more than one thing on the go!! LOL oooh I am hoping to start my boyfriend's Van Halen lap quilt next week. I finally got all the photos on photo transfer paper. This quilt will be for his birthday in August. I will get the photos onto fabric tomorrow night during our stitcher's night out group.

I love hearing what everyone is working on right now!!

Cheers

I got a GREAT deal on the long arm. Nolting told me it was worth twice what I paid. I'm just glad I had the space to take advantage of the opportunity. I have been sewing since I was a little girl in 4-H. But just started quilting.

Aggi - you best post a pic of that baby quilt before you give it away

OR ELSE.............................................. .................................... :evil:

(if you already did I couldn't find it :?: )

I think I posted some already, but I will post more especially when the little fella is cuddled under it :)

would hate to upset anyone here :) that "or else" could mean you come threatening me with your rotary cutter.. I can see a hoard of you all now closing in on me with those cutters.. I'll just hold you all off with my rotary mat shield!!! LOL ooh lord.. I think I have stuffed too many envelopes today... I offered to do a little bit of 'grunt' work here at the office as I am having a slow period .. I volunteered to fold and stuff 5000 envelopes to go out to all our tenants.... I think its affecting me!!!

I'm just working on finishing this heart quilt.
I do have a red top that I need to do something with. I started it, then put it aside to do the heart.
After that, I think I might tackle some of the BOMs.
Then maybe some crumb blocks.
I do need to get some housework done, as I have been doing very little.

Here's a dumb question- what's a crumb block?

I finished a baby quilt on Sat., made a tablecloth and 8 napkins, finishing a table runner tonight. Then a throw (Fieldstones pattern) needed by next week to mail to Japan. (and a quilt for Noah, since I made Zachary's on Sat. now I have to make him one just like it- and it needs to go to Japan too)

I have 1 baby quilt top, 1 throw top, 1 queen top and 1 double top to be quilted as soon as my frame arrives.

So much fabric- so little time!

I've spent the last hour floating through cyberspace- going from one site to the next. At first I thought I wouldn't like doing them- I like nice and neat and ordered, but I think I could do it. Reckless abandon- not words associated with me and quilting, but a basket of scraps is calling for me to experiment. Guess what I'm going to try tonight. :)

P.S. Thanks for the info- you've created a monster! I'll post if I can handle the results. (It's like having OCD and telling me to color outside the lines.)

Barbm... let me forewarn you right now... THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!!!!!!! Once you start you can't stop!!!!

Have fun!! post pics!
