I'm excited to join in with all you lovely and busy ladies. I started out today a little frustrated today when the block for the monthly meeting came out wrong so I can't finish it. But I'm moving on and I should be able to get the last 2 borders quilted on my snowflake quilt. Also I really need to start new pillowcases for our bed since the ones I made to go with the quilt and valance are falling apart. Aside from that I still have the quilt that I am hand quilting to work on so I am set for projects while hubby watches movies until time for the race at Daytona. Wouldn't it be fun to run out of projects and needed to start a new one?!

I've always noticed this VQW after it's practically over, but caught this one a little quicker. Yeaaaa me. lolo I think I might like to play along. I've had my DGS visiting for the last 2 wks, and believe it or not, I have gotten sewing done. He went home this afternoon. This morning I did 2 embroidery items for my DGD's birthday which is Monday. I have a couple blocks to make and another project to work on, so hopefully can manage to get all these done, or at least a fierce start on them. Will post pics as I go along.

got the design together to support a medalion. Time to rippit is at least as much as sewing times. Then discovered an extra row. It's going together on the diagonal. The corner triangles are the wrong size and I need a working brain to figure out how to fix it. So it's shower time. See you tomorrow.

I made some progress today. I was able to finish one of my basket blocks and prepped the next four. I also started the quilting on my mini.
