You'all have been busy....all the projects are beautiful.

Christine...Love the QOV....and your precious visitor...

Rob....fantastic blocks on your BOM. I'm not familiar with that pattern so I'll be looking it up.

Ginger...oh wow...that scrappy is amazing and so much work. Well done.

I woke up to No Electricity!!! For 3 hours....ugh! Then it flickered on/off for the next 2 hours, which means a slow start to sewing. Ended up just cutting fabric for a couple of blocks in my sampler until I felt it stabilize.....I finished 2 blocks, one of which is an EPP block. I'm really taking my time to make sure I don't lose points and blocks finish correct measurement. I'll share pic's tomorrow when light better..

Good luck tomorrow and enjoy!

I love the uniqueness of this quilt layout...showcases those adorable blocks... Love it.

Good evening everyone, loving the pix of the wonderful finishes. Christine- and that lil precious is a cutie. Well, I have a finished pieced top and bottom of the hunter star. Pieced together in the purple and lilac for the star (top) and purple and black (bottom) in 5.5 squares. I'm ordering my batting and maybe a backing fabric for my holly top that I finished in January.

Everyone enjoy your VQW, and RedGarnet222 your brother is in my prayers

Wow! Everyone’s projects look so wonderful. I haven’t been quilting this weekend but I have been sewing. I made aprons for my daughter and the girls that I babysit. I used an apron I bought at a garage sale to make the pattern. I liked the way they turned out. I’ve attached pictures of two of them.

Here is the last apron I made.

I finished these up this morning. Trimmed threads this AM, otherwise got the sewing done yesterday. The baby quilts are from Joann Fabrics, they are premade off the bolt, what I call a "cheater" quilt. I feel guilty using them with my skill set of making quilts, but they were quick and easy to put together. I did enjoy doing the crosshatching stitch on these, first time I had done it on a quilt.
Also got some bibdanas done, or another name is drool bibs. They are reversible too. The hospital gift shop I sew for, the director requested bibs. I have made my share of bibs, but don't like the waste when they are curved on the bottom:thumbdown:. I searched the web and found the bibdana idea, obviously they are a square, then become a triangle with some cuts to get them to their current shape, but little waste due to original cut being a square. :thumbup:.
Have a great day sewing everyone. Looks like alot of motivation and work is getting done this weekend. I will be checking in periodically today, I really enjoy seeing and reading about what everyone is working on.

Sorry, photos didn't attach correctly first time. I'll eventually get this photo thing figured out, hopefully.:o

Sunday Morning check in:
1. almost finished. Should be done including the label today!
2. will have to adjust total number of 5" squares down to a billion for this week-end.
3. worked on this some yesterday and should make some more progress. Adjust project to getting envelopes ready. Doable!
4. Made the pie, delivered to my son, an hour and a half away, topped off with an evening of good family time together.

Hoping to finish the two quilts I started in classes I took at Mountain Quiltfest last week in Pigeon Forge. Since I am 77 and in poor health, I am not going out if I don't have to.

Belfrybat my take on the "Irish Change" quilt from MSQC is that it can be made smaller, which is what I had to do because I ran out of fabric. As long as the first and last rows begin and end with the chain block (this will be an uneven number of blocks such as 7 X 9 or 5 X 7 etc) you should be able to make yours smaller without a problem. should be able to get borders on today and will post.

I got a baby quilt quilted. Not too thrilled with the amount of shifting that happened in spite of using my walking foot. It is only my 2nd quilt though. I got my binding prepped this morning and will look to see that on after lunch.

I’ve been waylaid by the Sew Kind of Wonderful curved ruler. I started working on some Urbanologie blocks. That ruler and the specific measurements and trimming are quite challenging for my brain. Thankfully the instruction booklet has great diagrams.

Well got the MSQC "Irish Change" top finished and ready to sandwich but backing and binding up in the air so it may be awhile. Need to clean my machine and since the next couple of days are supposed to be cool but sunny I'm going to try working in the yard the flower beds look not so great.

Thank you Raggiemon for hosting, look forward to see more great projects posted.

I finished my Lone Star top--I'm so happy! I haven't mastered doing pictures on this new version of the board yet so no picture. I'm going to do some prep work on my next step of Supernova (blazing Lemoyne stars).

Thanks to all those who participated this weekend. It was a good weekend to hunker down and get some work done. Hope to see you all again next month.

Your visitor is super cute

My husband is all excited that schools are closed. "Get that sweatshop going!"

I didn't get started until this afternoon due to son and family visiting for oldest g-boy's birthday. But since my work suspended I'm going to do some "catch-up" on all my projects. Today I spent the afternoon working on client quilt on long arm. Hoping to get my house "spring cleaned" with my time off work ---will be first time in several years!

Sunday evening evaluation of progress:
1. baby quilt binding not finished I need another hour or so
2. cut a couple hundred 5 inch squares - still need more
3. got the envelopes for the Birthday Swap .............Finished!
Where did this week-end go? It just disappeared.

Rob, these are beautiful! Truly art....

Rob, those are so beautiful!

Neat top Tohkatz! Great way to use those scraps.

Thanks Sewbiz, QuiltnNan and Teen- Helen Godden has made some amazing quilts using these techniques. She is an Australian quilter and often does pieces that are inspired by Australian flowers and animals.

Thanks for hosting raggiemom. I look forward to these VQW every month.

Rob

OBW halfway quilted and that's all folks!

I quilted 5 blocks on the first sampler quilt I made under the tutoring eyes of Sheila. While I messed up the backing using spray adhesive, I added pins and figured this would be a wash...it actually is turning out quite good for a beginner. Thanks to Sheila's watchful eyes corners meet, lines are straight and sashing almost straight, although the back is puckered. My DH accused me of running a sweat shop since I was sewing all day, but I was not sweating at all. It is good to have such an engaging hobby in this time of social distancing. Stay safe all.

Oddly, Rob, after seeing your blocks, I was browsing my FB feed and someone had done another of Helen's blocks... after your posting, I recognized them right away. :)

These are so neat!! I love the blocks...

I did get my magnetic tape on my hanging...and am enjoying it on my front door... and also managed to pin baste my 2018 Row by Row quilt.... hard to keep track of things as we navigate through these troubled times....keep healthy everyone! And enjoy your quiet stitching time!
