I will be going to a Project Linus sewing day tomorrow...9-3...I have done it for the last 2 years and really enjoy going...it is not only for people where I work, but sponsored partly by the company I work for and they usually have over 200 people, lots of quilts get finished over the day, and I will try to report just how many in the next day or two.
Anyone else go to Project Linus work days? |
I'm working on a doll quilt swap and have 2 runners to finish...just finished two kids quilts for Downey Quilts for kdis.
|
My longarm is coming in the house tomorrow, so will be getting her up and running, installing EZ glide wheels. And I'm working through the lessons in EQ6. Just upgraded from EQ5.

Our weather is so awesome that we will be out of the house as much as possible this weekend. Golfing on Saturday and perhaps walking on the beach with the dogs Sunday afternoon. :)
|
I'm working on another strip quilt, 2 grandchildren and their Mom moving in... who could want more?
|
I am quilting a donation quilt this weekend, plus working on a D9P for a grandchild that needs to go to Missouri (I'm already soooo late!! :-() AND I'm starting a Baltimore BOM and need to do the center block 20"x20", but the applique is not that complicated.
I'm a pretty busy girl this weekend!! :-) Happily so!! |

Great weather here also, but I will be finishing the binding on a queen size that has dominated my quilting for far too long! Have fun at the Project Linus!
|
Just started hand quilting DH's double wedding ring quilt. This quilt is already an antique & it's not even quilted! I think I started this one 9 yrs ago & have put it off & put it off till I can't put it off any more. Bit the bullet today & went in there & put it in the frame & started hand quilting it. He should have it by our 40th wedding anniversary! (been married 37 yrs now) :o}
|
I usually do, but cannot go this month as I have a baby shower I have to go to (it is for my granddaughter who is expecting my great grandson late March)
|
i plan on quilting not sure what yet i have so much i want to do..lol
|
Working this weekend, but do have Monday off. Hope to get some hand piecing done on break at work :)
|
No sewing, we have nice weather this weekend, hope to stay outside as much as possible.
|
I don't know what it is, and I am in the Fox Valley. Please tell me more.
|
I am in a group that does Quilts for Kids, and we had a workday on Wednesday, our first meeting was in January, and in one month, we turned in 43 quilts!! Woohoooo! Our fearless leader was sooooo excited! So were we! Gonna start meeting every 2 weeks!
|
I have a Doll Quilt to make for my February Doll Quilt Swap partner.
|
I'm also doing a Project Linus Day tomorrow. We also meet every week, doing it tomorrow for National Project Linus Day. Great organization, kids love getting the blankets.

WHERE R U LOCATED IN WI......I AM NOT FAR FROM GREEN BAY SHAR-QUILTED DOGS |
I am in Glidden-we have a shelter in Ashland-about an hr away.1 of my 4 dogs came from there
|
I am going to battle the twisted log cabin again! Then when that gets the best of me, going to go back to work on the scrappy Dachie quilt. Oh and at some point clean the house and do all those "domestic" chores I'm "supposed" to be doing.
Probally end up running away from these strange small humans that keep yelling "mom" at me. Man they can run fast! Gonna need a better hiding place, maybe throw some sandwhiches at them, duck and cover. Don't know, should be a full weekend. |
I'm going to try to get some quilting in this weekend, working on quilting DD's bed quilt. But the truth is, I probably won't get much done, because I have a million things to do before DH comes home from a month out of the country.

The project linus sewing day is at a church on hwy kk just east of Appleton...I think the church name is Holy Spirit...or Holy something...it is in Darboy...and I don't know where my flyer is now. Hours are 9-3 and you can come even part of the day. I sent you a PM too. |
I am going to work on a scrappy braid quilt I have started - Hopefully!!! I have 2 rows done.. (unless I decide to make it longer)
|
Nope but am going to work on my Daisy quilt. Have FUN...
|
I bought the Cheep Talk runner and oven mits kit from Connecting Threads (a long time ago) and decided to break it out and give it a go. I may not get much past the cutting this weekend though...

Getting my mom back into quilting with me. So fun. Today she got a Rowenta travel iron (same as my new one that's small, hot, and perfect for quilting) on sale at JoAnn's. Then she drove into the city to start a refresher lesson (2nd session) on cutting and piecing and to get oriented to the machine she's borrowing from my kids. We made an easy Carrie Nation block for a BOM quilt we both barely started in the 1990's. Have only 8 15" blocks so far between the two of us. Stopped my JoAnn's with the kids after school and I bought her a new cutting mat, rotary cutter, cut-n-press, and some notions, on sale. Tomorrow, hope to do another block and send her home with her new supplies plus some of her old stuff from my basement. Last time we made a blue and green batik D9P block into a doll quilt. Fun with my mommy! Yay! (I'm 38 yrs old he-he). Love reading everyone's plans, great thread idea.

Anyone else go to Project Linus work days? This weekend bridesmaids dress alterations!!! somthing i wouldn't do for any other group than this one:) Have fun at your sew day. Such a good cause! |
Got invited to baby shower in two week. Need to crank out a quilt quickly. No time for computer stuff since I work full time. Who needs sleep? Right?
|
After a beautiful day yesterday, today is cold and crazy windy. I'll be staying in, sewing binding onto Carolina Christmas (Bonnie Hunter's mystery from last year, finally back from the quilter. It'll be on my lap and keeping me warm as I sew!
|
I'm hoping to have my sewing machine fixed. The tension is off and I"m taking it to my LQS where I bought the machine and keeping my fingers crossed it will be fixed. I had quilted almost 1/4 of a quilt and had to take it all out:-(
