Well, I have the Toy Story quilt top done. I'll post a picture later. I'm taking a baseball break for a few minutes then will head back up and start piecing the Irish Chain blocks. Sounds like a lot of work is getting done for everyone.

I finished tying a baby quilt yesterday for a local charity group. Today I will work on finishing a baby quilt done in the rail fence pattern. I can't decide if I want to tie it or stitch-in-the- ditch. I did a pillowcase turn on it so no binding for it.

Then I hope to get started on a tote bag for Sadie's Dream for a Cure. It will be my first one.

The plan for today was to get the fmq done on a lap sized memory quilt. But then reality set in and all I got was a handful of problems. First was tension issues....rip....changed the bobbin case...better. Next was skipping stitches....rip....changed the needle....better. Next was thread breaking....rip....slowed down....better. I decided that maybe I should take a break before starting on the next block....don't think starting again in the current frame of mind is a good idea.....LOLOL. I will get back to it today, I swear....have too many other projects that have to be finished.

My flying geese and I are having fun. I am actually making pillow shams for my Bali Wedding Star. Not nearly as exciting as completing a quilt but a UFO none the less. Since I have never made one, I thought I could just whip them out but I will get one done this weekend and another cut and ready to go. Problem is that I did not plan to do these so I had to spend a couple hours scavenging through scraps to find enough fabric. But that is over now. Enjoying the time to myself.

Finished one little table topper, have another small one to do and a bigger one. I really like how this came out.

So pretty!!!

Unfortunately, I've been sidetracked because I broke my sewing machine last night and hubby got called in to work early so couldn't even take a look. Guess I'll go clean up my sewing area and see what I can get done without my machine.

I love seeing what everyone is working on. Of course, your projects give me ideas for future projects!

Yesterday afternoon, I made some concord grape preserves. Does anyone remember when Welch's had grape preserves with the skins in it? I miss it, so made a few jars from grapes I bought :)

I have trimmed both quilts, made my binding and sewed it to the back of my sister-in-law's quilt. I will sew the binding down (I do this by machine--sorry, quilt police!) after I take a tea break. Probably won't get my brother-in-law's binding sewn on today but definitely before Thursday.

LOVE everyone's pictures. Beautiful work.
