- - What are your weekend plans? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/what-your-weekend-plans-t127925.html)

I have to clean the room next to my sewing room becasue my cabinet maker is bringing my new sewing room cabinets to morrow afternoon. I have to clear his path becasue they are so big and will take a lot of room to turn the corners.
After it's all done I will post before and after pictures.

I finished piecing another Christmas present - table runner - for someone in my family. I have about 6 pieced now and am saving the sandwiching and quilting for after retirement (June 15th - YEAH) and relocating to the cabin in Michigan for the summer and fall. Today I start on embroidering 4th of July T-shirts for the grandbabies, and a 4th of July romper and diaper cover for my little grandgirl

Congratulations, davis2se, on your upcoming retirement! May you have lots of time to quilt!

I flew down to Nashville to visit my daughter in her new place. I'm in an airport on my way home now. We had a wonderful time.

Maybe some sewing when I get home today. :thumbup:

doing a simple 9 patch quilt for a 90 year old lady that she started years ago and cant finish it and would like it for her grand daughter just sewing the top

Sewing is on hold. Grandson (17) here from CO for 3 weeks. Parents & Granddaughter (11) coming on the 17th - all leaving on the 22nd. We will be getting together with the Idaho family (daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter and her husband) and having a great time visiting, day trips, weekend camping and doing a lot of photography. Then when the dust settles - I'll get back to my machine.

I just finished cutting out 7 bow tuck purses for some ladies where my DD works and now I have my bobbins prewound and I'm ready to start sewing!! In between - laundry and supper - WHEW!!!

Are you using a pattern for the PH. I am making some for my DD,who is a cook in the Army in AF. She said it takes forever to req. anything like that and I have tons of fabric I can use. I hope they like them.

Which obviously doesn't take long! :) I have a small beach quilt that is quilted and needs to have the binding attached. Another quilt is sandwiched, ready for quilting and binding. Plus I have a casserole carrier I'm trying to figure out. It's so "simple" but I'm stuck at one point. There aren't enough pictures of each step. If I can't figure it out, will post pictures later and see if someone here can explain to me what I need to do.

And if I get all that done, then I have some purses I would like to start!

Hope you all have a terrific and productive weekend.

Your weekend must be longer than 2 days to get all that done. Good luck!

I'm working on a very simple quilt in red,white and blue; its to be a Quilt of Valor. Here's a link to the pattern. Its called "Diamonds". I figured out how to piece the blocks without using
folded square method the pattern wants, it wastes too much fabric.
