I started Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trips at my Virtual quilt retreat Nov 6th, so hope to add a plain border, and then cut and add a pieced border to that today. It's another rainy Thursday here, and happy to have leftovers in the fridge for our meal.... Happy Thanksgiving to all the American Quilters, enjoy your special day!

Thanks for hosting, Raggiemom!

I'm in. We are doing a zoom chat with friends this afternoon, but otherwise it's just the two of us this year. I'm still working on the Big Butterfly. I have nearly ripped out all the quilting I did on the borders- I apparently had not checked my tension when I started it and the back needed help, so... anyway. I will finish getting the stitching ripped out today. Then I want to decide what to do about the front borders. Unfortunately it was one of my paint/dyed fabrics where I got a little heavy handed with the paint which means that all the stitching holes show on the front and they're not going to close up so I have several choices, either 1. try and get every new stitch into the exact same place as the old (https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wave.gif); 2. hope that with enough quilting the holes won't show up (https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/shock.png); 3. change the fabric out (https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...s/confused.png); 4. layer fabric over and quilt (https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...s/rolleyes.png); or 5.re-quilt by couching some decorative threads down to hide the holes ( https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/cool.png). Not going to do 1st or 2nd option, but options 3, 4 and 5 offer a chance to play some more with design. It'll be fun.....

Spent the last hour looking for dark/lights and was successful. Decided to turn these little blocks into log cabin. So now the sewing can begin after I have some well deserved chocolate.

I want to clean up my sewing room. I finished sewing my Christmas gifts and I need to put everything away and then I want to start a quilt for a great grandson due in December. Thanks for hosting this weekend.

Well it is that time again. I won't get anything started until Friday and then maybe I will be able to complete a project I have a new package of batting and a fresh from the repair shop machine to work on and do some quilting. Today I am making the smallest turkey I have ever made. 9.2lbs! Last years was 24lbs. But this year it is just DH and I. Not only because we are not going anywhere but because we have been directly exposed to the virus. Our communion minister and very dear friend called yesterday to tell us both he and his wife are infected. He was only here on Sat and Sunday last weekend. He is one of the only people we have had in our home in months. He told us he was being as safe as possible and has even been working from home since all this started. Just shows anyone at anytime can be at risk. So sewing I will do and stay posted on my progress for the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and now out to the kitchen.

I won't have much time to sew this weekend, but I would like to square up the blocks for a baby quilt and get another pin basted. My leaders and enders at this time are another quilt - a wedding one. I have to be careful with color placement on that one. Thank goodness for a seam ripper and short seams.
I have a small turkey to cook and my cranberry bread is done. The only good thing about being alone is that I can have what I want.

OK...I'm doing this! I got side tracked last month, so I really have a lot to catch up on. Today, I'm finishing my holiday face masks. They're cute and cheerful and I hope that my family will wear them when they go out and about. Tomorrow, I'm back to quilting my DH's quilt in a wood grain pattern. I've got about 25% of it done so far. I hope that I can finish the quilting and maybe even the binding this weekend. I have other projects waiting in the wings.

I finished this one last night. It was a kit and there is enough left over to make it again if I can find the panel.

Count me in! I finished quilted Christmas stockings yesterday and then started on a new tree skirt with a holiday themed jelly roll. I'll finish that up today. Maybe. I also have a Bionic Gear Bag cut out and waiting to sew together. It will be the third one I've made. I want to use this one for knitting notions.

Love the colors.
