    1) I have a top and back all finished - just trying to get to quilting and binding. I need to join some batting prices together for it. Its a small baby quilt that I made in a class so I just want to get-er-done.
    2) my mothers queen size: need to finish the binding. (Part of the reason for finishing #1 is to get better for #2)

    I'm trying to get these both done to avoid having a giant stack of ufos....

    As Irishrose2 posted, I will sew if it rains...otherwise, I have too much to do outdoors and it looks like a decent weekend (finally) here in Maine so I am hoping to get my vegetable garden planted. Long winters here provide plenty of opportunity for quilting but the summers are too short to be inside so I’ll be peeking at everyone’s progress. : )

    Count me in!! Now don't tell my doctor that I will be sewing and not having my foot elevated. Had surgery for the cyst on the heel. They un-wrapped it yesterday and then re-wrapped. They were pleased, it's not infected, not weeping, just looks good. One more week in my surgical shoe, no driving, must keep elevated.

    I hope to get my plum Hunters Star to the finished top stage.

    Kathy, please post pic of the Bonnie Hunter you are working on.

    Here is the plan...... Finish the Double Irish Chain Sew-along. Layer/sandwich three quilts and quilt one for gifting. Mentally plan two more graduation quilts! That should keep me busy enough.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]613187[/ATTACH]I had my caregiver take this pic hoping to earn points from the dr. See how well I am behaving, sitting with foot elevated on pillow, stitching a binding down. He didn't buy it and is keeping me from driving for another week.

    Here's my plan: finish long arming small quilt that I had goofed up and spent part of yesterday evening taking out stitches, finish piecing a partially pieced disappearing four patch that uses red orange and yellow scraps , meet with sewing friends Saturday morning and my favorite LQS is running a 25% off fabric sale. That last one I should really stay away from, but ....!

    Here is a picture of some of the Midnight Flight blocks - there are 88 pieces per block x 36 blocks and then a pieced border.

    Hang in there and listen to the doctor, I've been there. Enjoy the "down" time. I will be working on a tumbler quilt, 783 pieces from my stash. All the pieces are cut, now just mindless sewing. It's kinda fun actually.

    I"m hoping to get some sewing done. Have to work until noon today and then I'm off until Tuesday.

    Haven't done much sewing the last two weeks due to work and visitors - had to clean the stash pile off the spare bed and finally got it all move back in this morning.

    I've spend most of May trying to get caught up on quilting, and think I've only got 8 quilts left to do. However that means I've now got about 10 needing to be bound. Family reunion is in July and I plan on taking most of them with me. Good way to find homes for excess quilts!

    And like several others - if the weather is good I really need to get some work done in the garden. DH and I managed to get the three 4x48 foot raised beds set up a week ago when we had a dry spell and it's been raining since.
