Today I thought I would have time to do some stitching...but no.... but even better... I got to meet up with my new little great niece and cuddle her for a couple hours.... she is too teensy to enjoy her quilt I gave her before she was born.... but so special! [ATTACH=CONFIG]594919[/ATTACH]

I'm making blocks with many more pieces than I'm accustomed to but loving it!
Did you use batiks? That's what we are using-purples, blues, and whites. We got the Corner Beam last night and next month will be the Lemoyne Star. I asked the gal presenting the block last night what they did last year and she said they did blocks but worked on different techniques. I didn't get a chance to ask her more specifics. I do have a die cutting system so I didn't buy the first ruler and am only getting a select few of the technique sheets. Deb Tucker's YouTube videoes are awesome.

Time to head to the sewing room. I forgot I need to get my Accuquilt BOW done. That will now take priority over other projects.

Bummer... I will be working to paint picnic tables and planting our summer garden in gear for our 30th year. Www.cabbageislandclambake.com

Since winters are so long here in Maine, I am looking forward to outdoor activities that take the place of quilting.

Well did not sew today 're -arranged sewing room and dusted floor boards . I made me a design wall after removal of twin bed in the room I use as my sewing room. No more crawling and laying out quilt blocks on the floor out in the formal living room. Now I am ready to sew tomorrow. Hope we all have a productive and fun weekend.

I'll be working on a Susybee panel for Project Linus....then binding by hand. Perhaps Sunday I'll make a few more scrap blocks. There's always something to work on.

You have all inspired me to dedicate time in the sewing room.

First on the list is to piece a backing for a BOM project from 3 years ago. Yay! It's finally getting done. Then some arranging and piecing on the butterfly quilt and perhaps a little embroidery too.

Have fun stitching this weekend!

I've been cleaning my sewing rooms all week- my girlfriend is coming over tomorrow to test drive my Platinum 16(Sweet Sixteen). I hate to sell it, but I bought a used longarm and need to part with it. My friend has never done any free motion and has just gotten back into quilting after 20 years. She is a perfectionist and likes to have the best of the best, so I'm in for a challenge! I hope she takes to it quickly as she's too nervous to try it at home alone. I'm hoping to invest the money towards a computer for my longarm so I won't feel so bad about losing her!!
