    Everyone's quilts and blocks are so pretty. Everyone seems to be getting a lot of sewing done while we are all in the "stay at home" time. The last VQW I worked on denim/flannel quilts-I am finished with all 5 and now the hard part come of clipping the seams. Not sure what I need to do after the clipping is done but will look for some tutorials that will help out.

    Alright, I have a picture of what I have completed so far since yesterday morning. I hope you all like it. The blank spots will have 3 1/2" blocks to go against the 7" blocks. There are actually 16 full circles but when I leave the open spaces for the smaller blocks it came out to 19 blocks spaced and done so far. I will do the smaller blocks all at one time. I have at least twice this many before I have the size I want. Could be even more. Who knows. I want a nice large king size quilt and have a good start on it this virtual quilt weekend. Now back to pinning more pieces.

    Great curves, juliasb! Those are my nemesis. I have to sew them super slow.

    I recently got an Accuquilt and that has made all the difference in my ability to master curves. I couldn't do them with any real success before. Now I am whipping right through them.

    Hi All. On Tues-Thurs there's a heat warning; over 100 degrees. So we're getting the water lines in shape and trying to get seeds/seedlings out and shaded. In the midst of this the gophers did a number on the main line at the pump; no water. Well, do have a bathtub of water. Repairs tomorrow.

    We're hoping to have a small worship service May 31. I've offered to make masks. Need to put a label on a finished quilt. Quilting a UFO. I think FMQ is next. That's enough for this weekend.

    1021 to be exact LOL, but only need 995 - so I have extras to replace the "rejects".

    You know what they say about best laid plans... well the USPS decided to reroute my fabric back to Indy, it was so close to home! So I cannot cut the squares like I planned. Moving on... I drove over to a new retreat center that was having an open house - it was super nice and well thought out. Once I got home, I quilted one of the charity tops I have waiting. This one will go to the local women's shelter. Lots of wonky charm...

    I'm working on my second-ever applique project, a table runner with spring flowers on it. It's got some unusually skinny (think zero width pinch points in the middle), long pieces for the foliage to it, and giving me a bit of fits, but I'm pushing through. 5 of 8 blocks' through the fusing stage, 2 more blocks of fusible shapes cut.

    I'll try to post pictures tomorrow, but put a "minky" binding (all by machine) on the quilt for my niece's Christmas today--not as hard as I thought it might be--but that stuff sheds all over the place! May have to actually vacuum sewing room tomorrow! hoping to finish up the embroidered Christmas Quilt borders tomorrow and get a friends wall hanging loaded on the LA.

    Julia--loving that DP you are working on! I love using my Accuquilt for DP --honestly don't think I could do them without the cutter!
