Thanks for hosting, Heather. I did get started midday on my goal to complete the big blocks and string pieced border of Jamestown Landing by Bonnie Hunter. Attached is my progress today. I won't get much done tomorrow but Sunday and Monday are both days of stitch, trim and then web those blocks. My leader ender project are scrappy, brighter blocks made using Karen Montgomery's Crazier Eight from Creative Grids. A dear friend sent me the set along with a booklet and two patterns by Karen.

I hope to finish a quilt that I am doing big stitch hand quilting with pearl cotton #8. This is a first for me and I am really enjoying it compared to traditional hand quilting. I also have some gardening work that needs to be done but I'm so glad to be a part of this virtual quilting weekend.

Thank you for hosting, Raggiemom.

I'll be in and out myself as well this weekend, we had an unfortunate problem crop up earlier in the week, we found a couple of brown recluse in the house near where my dogs sleep and I have been bugging out (not to coin a pun) ever since and cleaning up a storm. Even broke out my steam cleaner, everything that is in the house is getting a good steam cleaning, bought two new microfiber dusters, a new HEPA filter for my vacuum, nothing is safe until I know there's nothing left in the house but me, my fiance and my four-legged kids. By the time I'm done with this place, it'll be cleaner than its ever been. The Great Purge of 2020 has begun and not a moment too soon with the flu season upon us.

If I can squeeze it in, I'm going to get my sister's hand dyed fabrics for her DWR hand washed this weekend, I attached a picture so everyone can see the colors I chose. One ring will be the orange, another ring will be the sage, the end pieces are the blue and the Muslin and the background is the Muslin.

I was really hoping that I would start piecing it this weekend, I thought what a perfect way to start a new quilt than a VQW but those spiders just turned everything upside down. But I'd rather deal with the cleaning and know I don't have any creepy crawlies in my house while I'm piecing her quilt.

You are all so welcome!

Happy birthday Iceblossom!

We got a few things done today. And I stitched down half of a hanging sleeve. Tomorrow morning I need to pick up a couple things at the quilt shop and will meet a friend for a few minutes. Check back in later 🙂

I always look forward to these VQW's, even when I am not able to participate, but this weekend I'm in.😁 Going to work on fall table runners, afternoons mostly, since it's firewood season 🤪. Hopefully it will all be in this weekend.
Thank you Raggiemom for hosting. Looks like lots of sewing machines will be busy this weekend by what I read, yah..... Enjoy everyone.

Have not jumped on board for along time. I am sewing this weekend on Quilter’s Cottage and Bringing Home the Trees.
Will post when I finish a block!

Thanks for hosting Raggiemom. I have planned a nice quiet 3 day weekend of sewing. This weekend I want to work on my hubby’s quilt, have to finish the quilting on it. And there are a couple of other projects that need my attention.

I'm in. Did the BOTW. Then while quilting, the LA acted up. So I've been ripping, quilting and did the binding. It's now ready to finish the quilting.

One cuddle quilt needs a label.

Tomorrow the LQS is having a sale and I need a back. Been looking in lots of places so this won't be a whim. Planned purchase. Since I'll be in town, all the cuddle quilts will go to the organizer, 9 Q's out of here and 9 pillow cases.

Hopefully I'll find a back so I can finish that project.

After that, who knows.
