Here's the other one I finished yesterday. A top for a charity quilt

What a cute idea! Love your colours!

Well, no progress for me today. As I started to measure my top for the slab-o-borders, I unfortunately noticed that one of the previous borders was sewn on upside down .......... sigh .......... I'm just going to spend time ripping and then go and work on my EPP.

I went with mostly velvets, but some did amazing overlays with sheer types. We ran out of time to finish, but she sent us home with a pillow and pillowcase to affix project. I think I'll create a tote to affix mine! The foundation is crinoline, so now I need to order some. Very stiff.

Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mom and I are back home now. I hope to get in my sewing room some this and work on some projects. See you all next month!

Thanks for hosting…a water line leak in our crawl space totally changed our plans! Love seeing photos of everyone’s projects!

Thank you for hosting Heather, not much done here also. Too much wet weather to inspire me to sew. But we did get what was needed done at our friends cabin.

Squirrel, what does that mean?"

It does look better and I took a bag out to the trash and set aside some items for a "give away table" that are duplicates of what I already have. No fabric, just small tools and stuff.

Tomorrow more clean up of the mess I made and then work on the quilt top that needs to become a flimsy. I call it a success!

sssss what does "squirrel" mean?

Beckyj For me its when my brain just takes off by itself and wants to do something else. ( Easily distracted!!!! )
:shock::thumbup:
This is a squirrel moment, right now I was trying to clean the bathroom.

Squirrel refers to "a dog's attention span" being easily changed by the urge to chase a passing squirrel instead of current focus!

Time to report in and once again life caught me up and my progress was halted. I did get the batting scraps under control and batting for the two small quilts is ready to go. It appears that happened to a number of us this weekend. Ah well, all we have is time, and so we can continue on with our projects this week, this month and this year. See you all in July.
