I'm working on a Judy & Judel Niemeyer quilt, "WaterWheel". It's a lovely pattern, but not for the faint of heart! I've finished the first two rounds & now need to go back to my LQS for help with the final accent blocks. I'm totally flabbergasted at all the stitch lines & need more help. We really love what I have so far!

I'm making 4 fall table toppers as well as 5 of the elf Christmas stockings. Am playing with variations of the Carpenter Star (or Wheel) for the toppers since no one wants runners and I love the looks of the Carpenter Star. Am finishing organizing quilting tools and notions -- have been working on this most of the summer since every box I unpacked had not only fabric but tools and notions and I want to put everything in its place so I don't keep buying "lost" items.

I'm working on a king size quilt for my daughter's Christmas gift. Also a striped quilt from a Kaffe Fasset book. I'm also learning to paint on silk. The painting is so fun and challenging that I've gotten behind on the quilt sewing!

Practicing my quilting on some smaller size 40" x 40" (maybe a bit longer on some) quilts made from kits the guild puts together. They get finished and I get the practice.
Also finishing up 2 Fairy Panel quilts for my niece, and some Quilt by Column as well. Most of my work is charity from various groups. I sew with 4 different groups so I always have a ton of choices as to size & color.. LOL

Currently I'm in a "use the Stash" mode. I'm making kits out of my own stash for future quilts. Much easier to just pick up and sew. Plus, quilts in baggies take up so much less room than yardage.

I am finishing up machine quilting a challenge quilt for a quilt show and I am in 2 block of the months. I also need to make some more pillow cases.

I'm working on my first one block wonder. Taking a break from all of the hexies. :0)

Kristi-love the quilt!

Thanks everyone for the kinds words! It was fun to collect reds! :D

I really like your project
Question: Source info for the whale block
Thank you

Hi FabQuilter
the whale blocks were part of the pattern titled "North Pacific" by Janine Holzman, which appeared in Quilter's Newsletter magazine Sept. 2006
