Tropit - I love your pattern, it looks fun and interesting.

SuzyM - I applaud you for so many paper pieced pineapple blocks and ambition... I don't think I would have the patience.

Last night, I cut fabric for a quick Warm Wishes baby quilt that I will work on today. They go quick. I'll try to post a picture later this afternoon. Snowy - wintry mix today so will stay in with my Janome.

Happy quilting on this virtual weekend.

Had to work on Friday and Saturday so am now able to get going today and Monday! Thought I was going to have to do a demo/lecture for a guild but that is now off the books for a while. I have MAJOR prep work to do for McKenna Ryan patterns - several of them all in various stages. Thanks for the 'heads up' for the next retreat, so I can get it on my calendar!

I did a lot of sewing on my baby quilt yesterday and should be done this morning. I'll post a picture when I'm finished. Then I'm tackling a WIP that has been sitting on my design board since October while I worked on some other things like Bonnie Hunter's MQ, a holiday mantle scarf and of course, the aforementioned baby quilt. VQW was just the push I needed. :)

MFORD: That cast looks just like the one I had when I had thumb surgery for a very arthritic thumb joint. It does prevent you from quilting for a few weeks but in the long run it will pay off. Now I'm able to quilt and do my hand embroidery. Wishing you a fast recovery.

The binding tool star quilt is ready for Bob (my longarm). He resides in my living room, and is a wonderful companion.

Raggiemom: Olive, my cat, had pancreatitis and now won't eat. She has a feeding tube, so I have to feed her several times a day. She seems to be improving, but her care takes a lot of time.

I finished my mystery clue yesterday and got a bit done on the challenge quilt--I'm back to that today.

wow, it looks terrific

SO glad you went for it with the OBW....did you get the galaxy fabric you were looking at?? Don't forget to show us some pictures !!

I did not join in but loved looking and hearing about everyone's finished projects.

I'm almost done!!! (With the top, that is.) Should I make it 5' x 6', or 6' x 6'? If I go 6', then I have to make one more row, but that's OK. I've never made a square quilt before. There's a time for everything.
