I will be FMQ a sunflower quilt that needs to be done by the 13th. I lost time quilting time this week - two long stretches without power. It's amazing how much we use electricity. Two pair of pants to hem for a friend. Blocks to make for my Arkansas Crossroads if I get bored FMQ.

I'll be adding borders to a quilt as you go style quilt. After finishing the quilt with the thin strips that join the blocks, I decided the quilt needed borders. The borders will be creme with quilted cherry designs. Last, but not least is the binding strips to cut out and join. I may need help choosing a binding color. Stay tuned.

I've picked out 3 tops that need a good pressing so that I can put them in an auction.

I haven't used the long arm in 18 months. I think I need to sell it.

I’m in. Will work on the UFO on my design wall. Still trying to decide if I want to make it bigger, or just quilt it and call it done. I’ve also got an art quilt that I want to work on- it got put on hold while we worked on decluttering during the summer. It needs to have some more coloring in with inktense pencils and some additional quilting. I also need to make pool noodle storage bags for a couple of quilts.

This past spring I bought a “slow stitch” kit to see if I would enjoy the process. It’s of a magnolia flower and it came with a selection of fabric snippets, embroidery floss, pattern and instructions. I worked on it for a couple of hours yesterday. My first impression: they weren’t kidding when they called it “slow”. Not really quilting, but I may want to use the technique in some of my art quilts down the road.
