I will also pick out fabric from my stash and scraps to start a few projects that will take me months, and months, to, years to years to complete. Then I need to finish dryIn the brown fabric and figure a basic pattern for a neighbor with that fabric. Any ideas. It needs to be 84” square when finished. I have 2 months to have it done. This is my planning month.
Oh yes, I’m in for Labor Day full weekend VQW.

Thanks everyone for joining me this weekend. I finished the ladybugs wings. All I have left to do is French knots for the spots and the antennae. Then I can blanket stitch front and back together. It’s great to hear about all the work you’ve all done over the weekend.

I got to my machine a little bit this weekend. Worked on more cording for more jelly roll rugs. I also got an order for a deacons bench pad this weekend. So picked out the fabrics for it and got the pad ready to cover.
i just checked in tonight to check out all the work/progress. Looks like many have been busy, sewing, planning, and cleaning/ organizing. Raggiemom, thank you for hosting, looking forward to labor day weekend.

I got borders pieced and attached on one top, binding cut and attached on another, plus all the pieces cut out for the second block of Jelly Snowflake MQ and a few sewn together. I never get as much done as I hope but I'm pretty satisfied with my progress this weekend.
Thanks, Raggiemom, for hosting!

I didn’t get to finish quilting but there isn’t much left to do. I believe I will be able to finish it at my crafting day with my friend tomorrow. I need to cut binding for it but that won’t take too long. I’m pleased with the progress I made. Thank you for hosting, Raggiemom!
