Just checking in. I was so busy cutting, piecing and making and correcting errors yesterday that I forgot to post my progress. The photo below is the start of a stashing busting quilt. Chose purple for no reason at all except I have plenty of choices in the purple bin. I have this many or more blocks cut to grow this quilt in the next week. Hope to finish the top by the week-end.

Also, worked on a block exchange quilt.Just need to add is a narrow sashing and corner stones then another top ready for quilting.

Cleaned up all the little scraps and snips from here and there that seem to following me about the the house. Trying to wrangle them into just one room.

Overall, this was a good quilting week-end.

I’m loving the conversations and the pictures.

I visited my son, DIL, and grandson Jack yesterday. He was awake for a while and it was fun cuddling and reading to him. He is 2 weeks old today.

I have been working on some projects and also cleaning surfaces in my sewing area. I rearranged some things last week and now a good scissors is missing. It’s probably staring me in the face. 😊

I finished my 6.5” unfinished crazy quilt squares. I cut them with a die which requires 2 passes to have enough for the 10 blocks. I don’t have a plan for using them.

I finally finished the rwb quilt I have been working on for 3-4 months. Yesterday I gave it to my niece.

Today I finished the valentine challenge top. Tonight I will quilt and bind. I need it for our guild challenge.

Then tomorrow afternoon I will quilt some fabric for a large bag I will make on Tuesday. Then it’s rest time. I will not get to BHMQ until Thursday or Friday (ah).

I really enjoy seeing and hearing about everyone’s finishes.

I worked on trimming and ironing the HSTs in my Hunter’s Star today. Only 15 more blocks worth to go! My legs got tired from standing and cutting because I forgot to bring my fatigue mat from the kitchen.

Everyone’s projects are looking great! I love VQW for the project sharing aspect.

I am picking up my grandsons in Portland today...they live in Key West but are coming up to stay for the week. Ages 5 and 3 and I am so excited ... I doubt I’ll get much time in the sewing room this week. : )

Very little quilting done yesterday, but I did a fair amount of cutting scraps to useful sizes. I seem to have to be in the mood to cut and cut accurately and I've learned when the mood strikes, just go with the flow. Have a great President's Day everyone.

UBE Quilting, love your wall hanging.

Quiltingshorttimer, so sorry about your dog.

Sewbiz girl, beautiful blankie for dgd Millie.

WMU Teach, great stash buster.

Retiredteacher09, enjoy that new grandson Jack. You cannot believe how fast they grow up! Like your crazy quilt squares.


Not the best picture but all that is left to do is hand sew the binding to the back. Got this one finished (number 2) also started cutting for Number 3 for dgs. Good VQW for me! I'm going to enjoy our 10 month old ggs this afternoon.

Good morning everyone, happy holiday and enjoy the best of it. Love seeing everyone's work this weekend and glad I got a little something completed myself. The rest of this day I am running errands, put that off until today, I think it was a good call. I like Conchalea, I really got to get packing I'll be making that giant move from Kansas to Georgia. It will be here before I know it.

Let me type is right this time, "Happy VQW Sew Day"

Quiltingshorttimer, I am so sorry about your dog. I hope your back doesn't bother you too long.

Sounds like many of you are getting to family time along with quilting this weekend. I spent yesterday afternoon with my husband, just relaxing and catching up on a couple tv shows. This morning he helped me run errands. Now I'm trying to do a few things around hte house so not sure I'll get back in the sewing room or not. But been a good productive weekend overall. Keep posting your updates--love seeing and reading what everyone is up to.
