Made 6 burp rags. Starte to sew on a new winter backpack purse and discovered I've misplaced one piece. Will do more work on Nov. 6 baby shower for January baby quilt.

Anyone want to press for me?

Finishing a challenge quilt for my LQS needs to be turned in on 5th Sat of Oct.

Where did you find Super Mario fabric? All 3 of my DGS's love Mario. I was looking for Incredible Hulk too only could find him online. I would like to see a picture of quilt.

couldn't find fabric. When searching on line found where some one had cut 2 inch blocks and arranged to resemble mario. I'll post a picture of it in a day or two.

I bought 3 mario T-Shirts on sale thinking about cutting them to at least have one block on each quilt with Mario.
Will be watching for pictures.

Just this evening I pin-basted a baby quilt that I have had for some time. I made it a few years ago and the lady did not like the fabric so I put it in a bin and made her another one. This is long overdue for a quilting!

I am also working on piecing a batik top that I have been working on.

Oh and fixing the ties on my infant son's crib bumper - hubby accidentally tore them trying to use brute force to get the mattress back in after a sheet change!! Haha!

finishing up 3 blankets for gifts, hopefully I will get all three finished.

Practicing - trying to get consistent 1/4" seams. Still can't do that!

I am stitching down sheep using blanket stitch for a baby quilt - the sheep are made out of fleece lol

Sewing on a quilt top, and working on a small table topper for our table in the dining room.

not stitching on the weekend, as the boys are here and need their room and beds. through the week I tend to take over their room, and use the beds as a place to spread out my fabric. hehe

tomorrow I will hopefully finished cutting the last 100 strips then can get started on the quilt blocks.

so excited to do this.

I went to a quilt show yesterday and had a blast. Here are the pictures to prove it.

I have a couple of projects that I want to start, but I really need to finish knitting a hat I started last month. Time to get 'er done.

After 2 1/2 years, I'm putting the finishing touches on my GFG hand stitched English paper piece quilt top. I'm going to the quilt shop, maybe Joann's today to buy batting. Then Monday to the LQS to figure out what I want to use for backing fabric. I'm not sure if I want a solid back or not. But there it is, that's what I'm working on. I'm still working on my Applique wall hanging, almost finished that. Next, is a Dear Jane hand stitched quilt....after I start that you may not hear from me for the next 3 years, lololol...

Getting 2 quilts ready for the long arm quilter. Cutting backing, trimming threads etc. I have 4 more projects to finish so that will take up my time once I get the quilts ready to go. I'm determined to finish everything so I can concentrate on my Sylvias Bridal Sampler.

I have been cutting fabric to make some Christmas table runners. I went to Craft & Quilt Fair last Thursday so I am keen to try out some of the things I learnt at the workshops. I took photos of some of the quilts so when I work out how to post them I shall do so.

I was trying to finish my newest grandson's quilt. All I have left is quilting and binding and my sewing machine is acting up....so I think that today will be all about cutting the fleece squares for the joint venture with my husband. He is going to embroidery thirty squares - the entire Night Before Christmas story and I am going to transform them into a quilt.

Sample for the class I am teaching on Tuesday. Nothing like last minute. ha

I'm busy doing Community Service work. I have just finished enough of my Ultimate Scrap blocks (24' blocks) that I designed for a top for the youth shelter. I am going to use a sheet for the backing and quilt it on my friend's long arm using a simple meander. I am also trying out a new Cancer Cap pattern which I got from a lady at the quilt show yesterday who makes them by the dozens. Then there is my small but growing pile of aprons. We have a local group that meets a couple of times a month and makes "goodies" to deliver to those needing a hug in our community. I make all new members of this group an apron because I am not always available to cook or deliver and I think it is wonderful Community outreach.

I am making a Christmas table runner that is ready to be quilted today. I embroidered a Christmas design on a towel, and did a few outdoor things till I pinched my thumb and bled all over the place, so put an end to my sewing for the day. Today I will bind 2 flannel/fleece quilts to be sent to Vermont for the flood victims. Then I will see how much day is left to finish the table runner.

Worked on a few pieces of my mystery quilt.

Pillow shams to go with the 1930's repro fabric quilt I am working on.

I did 20 pillow cases for a charity

I have about 2 hours worth of longarming to do on a customer quilt, then I get to go play with the design of a red-white-blue star quilt I am making! :)

I am going to try and get my butt in gear and sandwich, FMQ, and bind my fall quilt.

Doggie rag quilts! LOL! Hey, they gotta have xmas gifts too!

Hand quilting a t-shirt quilt for my son. Kinda like sewing through plywood, UGH!

When I made my purse/totes several weeks ago, I cut out 4 at one time so I could work on whatever I was interested in on any day. I think it's kind of neat to have several projects going at one time. Runners are one of my favorite things to make. Are you using a pattern or doing your own thing? I'm eager to see them when they're done.

I am going to quilt a phylanthrophy quilt this weekend. I had been working on piecing a quilt for my newphew who was sceduled to Iraq in dec. Now they aren't going to go there but he will go somewhere just not known as to where yet..

Well Saturday I was able to spend the day with my youngest daughter - we rarely get to 'hang out' together with our different schedules. And today (Sunday) I'm working on the border for a Queen-sized quilt for that same daughter for Christmas and preparing scrappy squares for some table runners.

A Christmas wall hanging. I found some fabric at Joann's and need to build something with it. It is multicolored snowflakes on a black background. I fell in love with a multi colored tree wall hanging shown on this site but didn't save it and can't remember exactly how it was made but the idea of an enchanted forest has me hooked.

I spent Saturday at a Angel Quilt workshop and nearly finished a quilt top. Our guild makes donation quilts to give to a local hospital. Hope to finish up the top this week and get to quilting on it.

Well I mended a sleeve on a pajama top for my dad, got the label done and delivered to an Amish lady to put on the orange quilt in my avatar, mended a hole in my garden jeans, which are more patches then jeans at this point. They are so comfortable, can't throw them out! I started on a quillow for my Dad.

English paper piecing hexagons

I am at the lake and forgot to bring the binding for a baby quilt I want to send out as soon as I get the addy. I only needed to quilt the border and add the binding and forgot the binding! But yesterday I finished the doll quilt that I made for the baby's big sister. First doll quilt I've made and it turned out too cute! I'll post pictures after I get the baby's done. Anyway, I'll probably spend the rest of the day cleaning and laundry before we leave to go home. If it's not too late maybe I can get the binding on and washed and get it sent tomorrow.

Let's see: I SHOULD have been working on the quilt for my bed---that didn't happen. But I made two drawstring bags to finish an order for my grandnephew's day care provider. She commissioned me to make 14 bags for gifts for her day care kids at Christmas. I have had 12 done for quite a while, but we were waiting for her last 2 "customers" to be born, so I could make their personalized bags too. I don't have pictures right now, but they were just 12"x12" with a pocket inside and the kids' names quilted into the front. Maybe today I will work on my quilt...

Working on my grandson's quilt, which I am hand quilting. Half way done. Plan to have it ready for Christmas!!

hand quilting a small wall hanging

Finished and mailed a lap quilt for my dad's birthday - he'll be 91 next week. Then made a costume for my 6 yr old dgd - just cut down a velvet dress and skirt I got at goodwill. She's going to be Wednesday Adams from the Adams family.

I'm trying to finish up a lap quilt... I thought I had enough fabric for the back but I'm short about 1/2 yard. (from my calculations.. which are not always accurate. LOL) Guess I have to run to Jo-Ann's today... One good thing.. I got a 40% off coupon this morning. I'm itching to get this thing ready to go and get it on my new HQ Avante.

I still have to figure out what pattern I'm going to use for a simple lap quilt for my MIL. I have a jelly roll in the right colors but can't figure out what pattern.

Taking a Mariner's Compass class all day to day at LQS.

Piecing a lady bug quilt, and possibly sewing bindings to the back of a table runner I just finished and a pinwheel lap quilt.
