I like this...If I knew where my dresden plate template was, I could make one or two of these.

I'm in, will finish my sons wedding quilt top(waiting for the black batting to arrive), finish my Nephew's Blue, black and gray scrap quilt(I know sounds ugly, but it's not, he chose the colors), work on paper pieced BOM block two and maybe some Halloween table toppers. Here's to success, or should I say break a leg.

I finished the top for a raffle for the vets - we will be serving Thanksgiving at a Vet retirement home and will raffle this off. Time to FMQ it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]438571[/ATTACH]

Great thread!! I just finished the Lazy Girl Runaround bag. I've been wanting to make one for quite some time so I could use it when I travel (keep my valuables on me).

Carol, I love your quilt top. I have tons of 1.5" squares from past swaps. I should get some of those started. Yours looks so pretty.

Here's what I'm sewing, today. The dark patterned fabric will be in the centers of the alternate blocks.

Today's Project. (It really isn't that crooked--I just haven't found a good way to take pictures!)

And I just finished this one up. Still have to find a border for it. The pattern is called "Simply Charmed".

I think I have that pattern, is that the small one with a zipper? I plan to make myself one of those one of these days!

Boy, you guys are sewing right along, beautiful projects. Just finished the borders on sons wedding quilt, will iron and post pictures.

Farmers wife blocks done for this month. Time again to start getting a meal together. Homemade rolls, cheeseburger mac, green beans, and maybe corn on the cob coming up. anyone hunger? will be back once dinner is done and dishes are cleaned up again. Here are pics of my blocks done till next. I am having a great time reading everyones posts and quilting along with all of you.

Kyle and Ally's Wedding quilt finished this morning

Love your Farmer's Wife blocks, the colors are scrumptious, mdall.

Finishing off Nephew's quilt now.

I am going to work on my City Blocks sampler - we have to have 8 blocks done per month. Also, I might start on our son's quilt.

Waiting on rolls to rise, so dug out scraps to see what I have. This is just the pieces of stuff I have still have to pull out left over yardage pieces but this will make a great start. Using templates a wonderful Angel sent me at Xmas. Now to see what comes of it. Pics once something starts to emerge from the depths. LOL

I had hoped to get all my chores done today so that I could work on a couple of small princess applique quilts this weekend. I want to make them for Christmas gifts for two special little girls, my sister's-in-law grandnieces. Well here it is 4:45, have not started anything on the projects yet, not all chores done due to company dropping in this afternoon, which was a lovely time though. Sigh...laundry I can put off till tomorrow, cooking something for the week ahead can be done tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be too pooped to finish tracing the applique patterns tonight! I had hoped to get that done then start hunting through my stash for fabric. Well, maybe I can do some hunting tonight. Best laid plans.... I need to win the lottery so I can quit working to quilt all week!! LOL!

Well, I am done for the day. The Princess (Heidi, the Great Dane) demanded I stop what I was doing and come upstairs and feed her. She now wants me to be upstairs with her, enough in the basement, as far as she is concerned. And believe me, when a Great Dane complains, you can't help but listen.

I have the two tops ready to get ready for backing, batting and then quilting. I did a test run on a possible ornament for the ornament swap. Tomorrow I will work more on that, and I have another quilt to work on, more star blocks. I don't know why I do this to myself. Did I say how much I dislike making HSTs, QSTs, and flying geese?!?!?!?

LOL Sue! Glad you gave in for Heidi. You have had a very busy day, so it was probably a good thing you stopped for the day. Tomorrow is another day. Me on the other hand, I've done nothing yet today, but I'm about to now!

Here are the two tops I am working on. I need to trim, make the binding and bind. I had the blocks for the brother's quilt done last year but not sewn together until I got the idea a couple of weeks ago to make the him and her quilts for their 60th wedding anniversary. The backs are flannel--pink cheetah on my sister-in-law's and plaids on my brother-in-law's. These are my first log cabins, and the next time I would use strips not as wide.

I'm having to take a break, to get pressure off of sciatic nerve (can't sit in sewing chair, for too long at a time). Am hoping to finish up the top, tomorrow. Almost the entire time I was sewing, I was trying to decide what to do next. :p

Pretty!!! I especially like the second one! :thumbup:

I am making the very last blocks of two BOM projects that I have been doing this year through Craftsy. This weekend they will be done....one more to finish.

Oh, did I eat to much. Dinner is done, kitchen cleaned back up, watched some TV with the kids now onto that scrappy while DH watches his football. Anyone with any tips for scrappies like blocks that look great let me know. Thinking of a scrappy sampler will see how it goes. So excited about these new templates.

Just checking in, haven't been at the machine much today, some how I ended up having to paint shutters? DH is in a get the house spruced up and I did tell him I would paint them a few weeks ago. But after dinner it is my time to sew. Have chilli on the stove and a apple pie, fresh picked apples in the oven. I did get some HST done and pressed and squared the black fabric I got yesterday. So will work on the green quilt tonight.

Great pictures everyone!!! Love the blues Nessie, I'll take the piece when you're finished.:D

Happy sewing everyone.

I have all my blocks made and ready to be sewn in to rows. I am really happy with how it's coming along but now I have to go make dinner. French Dips, fries and some corn on cob. I will have to make something chocolatey as a reward for being productive today ;-)

Well, I'm done for the evening. I'm glad we were doing this today, I didn't really want to work on quilts this afternoon but forced myself since it was my idea to have a Virtual Quilting Weekend! Once I got started though, I got into it :) I have the blocks ready to sew into rows for the Toy Story quilt. The pieces are ready to assemble the blocks for the Irish Chain quilt. So now I know what I'll be doing after church and lunch tomorrow.

Good work, ladies. I'm really enjoying seeing all the pictures and reading about what everyone is working on.

Scrappy sampler has come a dead standstill, was sitting here looking through things and remembered that my quild is doing a scrappy for charity. Guess thats mean I need to come up with another idea. Good thing I remembered or I would have been in it at the next meeting. LOL Maybe a red, black, and white dresden or should I use some of the other new rulers I have received as gifts. I am gonna go childish and play iny meeney miney moe.

Wasted day for me, but I did get out of the house for the first time in 5 weeks since the 6 grandkids were left with me. No sewing done, but I did get the fabric to make a tote for my granddaughters violin accessories and music. Also found great fabric for purse for my DD. Tomorrow have to create a tiny workspace, since grandkids are living in my sewing room!! I need the sewing for my sanity!!

Thanks! All but the lightest piece came from Hobby Lobby. The lightest came from Thousands of Bolts; I think it's called Elephant Parade(?).

Seeing everyone's WIPs makes me want to start another . . . and another! So many pretty colors and patterns!!! I'm trying to do relatively quick quilts, for Christmas gifts. Why I didn't start in earnest sooner, is beyond my understanding. :p

Didn't get much done on quilting, but had a good day. Started piecing the Thanksgiving wall hanging. Then DD called and invited us to dinner. Love seeing them. Bye.

That is REALLY cool!

Had the grandkids visit for awhile today but still got a good start on the Frosty the Snowman throw. Got everything cut out ready to sew together (except borders)...notice the empty square in bottom right corner? The Frosty panels are from fabric that was intended to make a fabric book, but wanted to convert into a throw instead, but it is one story page short, lol! Anyone have any ideas what I could make to put in this square? Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance :D

I'm working on 4 things as the mood strikes:
1. Baby quilt for my new niece
2. Table runner for my BFF for Christmas
3. Table runner for me in same style as BFF's
4. Sampler lap quilt for class

[ATTACH=CONFIG]438638[/ATTACH]Thank you for helping me get modivated and finishing this quilt for the free raffle next month for the Vets Thankgiving at the retirement home.

Wow...love the pattern and the colors!!! and also the bench it is sitting on. That is very pretty.

Loved seeing what everyone is working on! I finished the final 84 blocks in step 3 of the Mystery Quilt I am making and set up my machine so that I am ready to start FMQ on a quilt that I should have quilted months ago. Tomorrow, after Church and exercise, I'll be FMQ.

Wonderful quilt Carolaug. Congrats on finishing it.

So much fun reading what everyone was up to today, lots of wonderful projets! What will we all be doing tomorrow. I think the hardest thing in the quilting process is trying to decide what to make next. I have a few ideas rolling in my head as well as a log cabin quilt I started with only two blocks done so far. Oh and I did watch a binding tip from the QB today and tried it...Perfect...just cut out the batting on the corners but not the corners and it worked out great!! QB is Awesome!!!

That could be a great place for your label..or a special note if you are giving it to someone
