Okay, I am all set up in my basement sewing studio, with the "slow" computer on and ready to go. Now that I am down here, I have to go back up to the quilting room and get the thread I am using to stitch down the binding on the monopoly quilt. There will be lots of exercise going on here (up and down the stairs).

I've never done one of these before, but sometimes I sew in the afternoon when DH snoozes or watches ballgames. This sounds like a great day to take a little break and work on my quild BOM's of which I am so far behind. I must be in a fog this morning,but I have two questions: Scrap sack 2's? and Biscuit quilt? Both sound interesting.

Love it !! I made one earlier this year for my adult son (he collects Monopoly games). I had a pattern and since I couldn't find the exact fabrics, I improvised on the pattern.

I had seen the pattern that goes with the fabric, but didn't have enough of certain of the fabs. I had the border fabric left from when I had made my DGSs boxer shorts when they were about 5 & 7 years old, oldest is now turning 21.
I am now ready to start on the quilting of the valentiney quilt on the long arm. That shouldn't take too long, as it too is a planned QFK quilt.
These virtual quilt days are fun, and we should plan to hold them monthly, so we can plan ahead. It makes me want to get competitive and see how much I can get done in a day.

I FINALLY got the last borders on a quilt top for my daughter and now need to finish cutting the pieces I need for my sister's Xs and Os quilt. I always follow along with you all, but never manage to get much done. This time I am determined to sew along too. I couldn't get a pic of the finished top, but here is one of it before the last borders, just imagine it having a 5" black border.

Oh I wish I could join. I got so much done last time. I am doing laundry. Also I invited my parents and Uncle for dinner. GOing to celebrate my daughters birthday. It was last week but she was working. I am baking a whole chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots and gravy. I made a chocolate praline cake for dessert. I have to pick my parents up as they don't drive to my house any more, it is 30 minutes each way. I will also have to them home later. I might get to join you guys later tonight. Maybe I will hold my own quilt day tomorrow since I wil miss most of this one. Will check in later
