Two baby quilts- for cousins-, a Quiltville ufo, and a small bag for a DGD. And when time or bored, I can peek at another ufo or two..... ;)

working on the never-ending bin of plaids making quilts for the non-profit I am with, Quilts From the Heart. The plaid quilts (along with patriotic quilts) will be delivered to our Veterans Hospital on Veterans Day. 5 tops done, quilting next. Also will quilt a baby quilt for a friend today and hope to quilt an applique quilt (all friendship blocks) that has been hanging around for 10 years. My small group meets tonight and I would like to bring something for show and tell.

No quilting right now. Making boxers for all the guys in the family.

Just add big thread and it will look awesome!

Thanks for replying. I will look for the ceramic chalk pencil but I am unlikely to find it. I live in a rural area. There are a few quilt shops but not many notions carried and when they do have them, they are very expensive. I do not order online.

I get my freezer paper at the local Walmart. They have it in the same area as aluminum foil and plastic wrap, etc. I would guess most grocery stores have it in the same area. Good luck with your project!

I'm working on a Farm Girl Vintage block of the month from a local LQS. We are doing the 6 inch blocks. Really cute blocks and fabrics. I got behind on this due to a couple other quilts that I wanted to do. Also, working on a new quilt called Jamaican Stars that is in the Sept/Oct issue of Quiltmaker magazine. Actually the designer, Scott Flanagan, is with one of our local LQS. I was surprised and pleased to find this in the national magazine. It just spoke to me and I had to start it. It is made with batiks and I'm still needing to get a few more pieces.

This is so much fun to see everyone's projects. This is such an awesome board!

I've been on a mission to quilt tops and get some UFO's done. I've quilted 9 tops in the last 3 weeks. This last week I did the machine part of the binding for them. (I now have a pile to work on while I'm sitting and waiting for my son at various activities!) And I've made 4 backs with 2 more to go!

Here's one I did the binding on yesterday:

I'm quilting a bargello heart quilt in orange's and yellows. I started a Little House on the Prairie baby quilt but not far along. I have a half square triangle scrap quilt I work on as leader/ender. Plus I have many quilt tops I need to start quilting on. If I could figure out how to post photos without downloading my entire Photo library I'll post pics later.
