Working on a Boy Scout quilt for my grandson's birthday at the end of the month. I'm using Norman Rockwell's panels, sashed with a coordinating fabric from the same line, and borders from 2 different coordinating fabrics also from the same line. Once I got the panels cut out, I had a real bear of a time getting them all to the same size ( you know how it is with printed panels, they look the same size till you cut them apart to use them), but I finally got it done. I'm almost ready for the borders, then I'm going to FMQ on my domestic machine. I think I'll have enough of one of the border fabrics and the printed on borders that I cut off of the panel fabric to make him a matching pillowcase. Good thing I got a small window air conditioner for my upstairs sewing room or he wouldn't be getting these for his birthday at the end of the month, he'd be getting them for Christmas!

Today, I'm working on a needle case, for the QB exchange. Hoping to get it finished, this evening.

Tomorrow, I need to clean up my sewing area (again) and decide what I want to do, with DGD's quilt (WIP). Can't decide whether to just back it with flannel or a blanket, or use batting and then back it. If I use batting, I have to get something other than my Warm & White, because of the appliques; when the W&W shrinks, it'll make the appliques look goofy, since they're backed with the fusible stuff (and a bit stiff). I've already got the flannel cut but am now seriously leaning toward just backing it, with a blanket . . . if the blanket is big enough. I'm getting soooooo tired of fooling with that quilt . . . and just want to get it FINISHED! :shock: Just need to make up my mind and stop changing it!!!!! :p

Hopefully, I will have time to work on quilting my DGS's baseball t-shirt quilt! I've been able to do some of the stitch-in- the- ditch to anchor everything together, but still have a ways to go and then do a FMQ large meander to finish. It is so heavy, I told my DH it is like wrestling a bear! I'm doing this on my Pfaff domestic machine.

I am machine quilting a king size civil war quilt (was a BOM) - have it about half done and in the evenings I am handquilting another civil war quilt that was a BOM. Am also in the process of trying to decide what I want to make next.

I've been helping a new quilter make a quilt to take to a family reunion for a raffle. Have it almost done. Such a pleasure to introduce someone new to "our addiction". Her husband was so pleased that she is starting on a great hobby that he went out and bought her a brand new sewing machine and cutting table!!

I just finished a baby quilt. I want to start cutting my red, white, and blue fabrics to make a star quilt. The fabric was on sale at Hancocks this week.

Getting ready to go out of town for my dh's aunts 90th birthday early in the morning

Working on 8 bow tuck purses I cut out today, as well as hand quilting my grandsons quilt..I will also be working on my cathedral window which is my travel/waiting project as I drive kids around or go to doctors appointment. I may also begion cutting out a quilt for another grandson...I have 13 grands and am trying to get each one their own quilt (Before any more come along!! Since I am attached to oxygen 24/7, I have plenty of time to quilt

I have been out of school for 2 weeks and have been working very hard cleaning both inside and outside the house. I also have helped out some 4hers on their sewing projects. We will be on vacation next week and when I return I will get busy on some quilting projects. You know how it is...once you have been on vacation, you don't want to do any more housecleaning so that is why I have been working so hard to clean the past 2 weeks. Whew! Now I am ready for some fun. I go back to school at the end of July so summer is short, anyway.

Working on my older son's high school graduation quilt that he and I designed (he graduates next year so I have time) and getting my younger son ready for some 4H events.
