I have to clean out my closet on Sat. The floor is horrible! I don't have dust bunnies, I have dust elephants! After I do that, I'm in.

I have a pillow made from one square of the Dogs in Sweaters quilt that I need to finish and I have a Professional Tote in progress and then there's my new Juki to play with and fabrics for a Dogs in Sweaters quilt to cut so I have plenty to do.

I'm in. Have a BH Christmas Mystery from Quiltmaker magazine a few years ago partially done. Need to finish blocks and start assembly. We'll see how far I get.

Hi! I'm in. I was serging some changing pads for a baby charity and then I tucked the serger tails in while I was watching banked slalom at the Paralympics. I am amazed by the stories of the athletes. I do have a personal interest in the snowboarding events as my nephew is Mike Schultz and he was the flag bearer during the Opening Ceremony. He also took gold in his Boardercross event on the 12th and he just took silver in the banked Slalom. He is the inventor of his prosthesis that not only he was racing on, but also Team USA snowboarding athletes were using. Very proud aunt.

I also spent some time sorting a box of squares.

My plan is to finish the Mystery 18 top and to make my flying geese for the Accuqult BOW.

Good morning! I have the pattern drawn out for the table runner. I found a heart shape online and put them randomly around the area, and then drew lines to make it continuous. Also here is a shot of the hand stitching on "Masonry". The blocks for the triangle quilt are sewn and I am starting the sashing with the lovely light grey from Moda Marbles.

I’m in. Spent most of yesterday putting my sewing studio back together after taking it apart Mon and Tues to fit in my new (to me) Sweet Sixteen which we picked up from previous owner on Wed. Finally gt to sit down with it and work on a new collaborative piece that I’m doing with Dan (he did the photo collage and then had it printed on fabric). Also worked on a clothesline bowl since there are always skinny scraps to use up. Today we’re at the barn, but if not too tired when get home I’m going to pull out a UFO to work on so I can meet my personal goal of completing one UFO each month! So full weekend of sewing planned. Cankt wait to see what everyone else is working on.


Dedemac- that looks great! (Binding is my least favorite part of quilting)

Boston1954- your handquilting is gorgeous!

I am in and have a list of things to do. I made the bias binding for a quilt I bought at an Estate Sale and we hand quilted it at a Bee I belong to. So I can get that sewn on and finished. I am working on a red and white quilt that I hope to complete the top 'this weekend. I am slowly copying a quilt made by my grandmother and her sisters. Lots of appliqué to do there but fun to sew. I feel like she is with me when I work on it so I am not in a rush to complete it. I joined a Stash Buster group at a local quilt shop and have to get my show and tell ready for Monday's meeting. I have a quilt ready to cut out if I get the above under control.

I like your funky pinwheel border.

I'm in. Need to quilt train ride #18 that I arranged as a small quilt. Should be able to finish it.

Boston, I love Moda Marble Swirls. I didn't know it was still available. Your batik quilt is lovely.

Looks like we will all be busy today! My binding is machined stitched down now to do the hand stitching. I think I will also throw in a few 365 blocks, just to work on a second UFO, and take breaks from sitting and stitching. Its a sunny day here but still looking at good snow piles. Time for breakfast, have a pot of gingerbread coffee if any one wants some.
