Hope you heal up quickly!

I will be working on blocks for my "Corn and Beans" quilt. Just getting a good start. I have a long way to go.

After some laundry, cooking and housework (yuck!!!!) I will be working on my DGD's Sunbonnet Sue for her first birthday next month.

I just started putting the blocks together on my purple double friendship star quilt, so I want to continue with that. And naturally, the NASCAR race at PIR will be keeping me company while DH no doubt dozes off.

Making my first landscape quilt. Palm trees on a beach. No design, just the stuff in my head. Sky and water horizon line done so far in between loads of laundry and ironing all the batiks I need in the quilt.

She sure will feel special Terryl, what a thoughtful thing to do. :thumbup:

Now I get to play all day in my room (after cooking, cleaning, laundry.....sigh) so working on my DD's eyewatering quilt and my lovely hexagonal blocks!

Ooooohhhh, I want to come play in your new sewing room with your new laptop! :lol: Can you share pictures of the quilts? We would love to see them even though they aren't finished yet. :thumbup:

at least that is how it usually works....

How about creating a sandwich to practice on first? You won't have to rip out stitches from that!

Everyone has such wonderful things going on. I started a Day and Night quilt by Eleanor Burns and ran out of the blue fabric. Can't find any more of it, so I found another blue that I think goes with it nicely (the middle block). I also found a gold fabric that I wanted to pair up with the yellow center to give it a dimensional look. I'm not quite sure about it yet. I have enough cut to make one more of these blocks, then will have to decide if I like the all yellow center.

I should practice machine embroidering so I can make the bibs for a couple of babies on the way or practice machine quilting that I haven't got the hang of yet, but then I want to cut out my 2" squares for the aprons I'm planning to give as gifts. Of course there's laundry that needs to be done too.
