Thanks for hosting, Raggiemom!
I've helped a friend set up quilt sale items at annual spring fling for church, now I'm going to load and get start quilting a Harry Potter quilt.
I can always pick up the sewing room. The gremlin that lives there sure does make a mess in addition to temporarily hiding certain presser feet, marking pens, patterns, etc!

Good day everyone!!! My goals this weekend: 1 = complete sewing the top on cotton cuts 5.0 Island Hopping. I have 1.5 clues to complete on this mystery. Next I need to iron all clues 1 to 4. Then I can sew the blocks and top together. #2 project = cut out construction site twin kid kit. It’s super easy to throw together. #3 = cut out Brown Bag mystery (BBM) clues 1 to 4. So I can sew on it the next few weeks. 4. = cut out my lock-in 2026 mystery. Then I can sew at my leisure. 5. = in-between I want to gather scraps to iron fabric for Mount Scrapmore with Brenda (from face book) for the chaos mystery 2025. Free patterns on you tube. Need to watch videos for directions. That should keep me busy for this weekend and month. Happy sewing/quilting everyone.

I just finished putting together this scrappy dogs quilt
next I have some yardage I won and think I will do a simple rail fence. Or perhaps cut the blocks on the diagonal and set as a 3 dudes pattern. After that I want to make those dogs in purple and blues. Think I will make the tail and ear as HST.

WMUTeach

Redesigned my batik graduation quilt and won't need as many blocks. So, I finished the blocks this afternoon, now on to adding narrow black sashing. I may need to purchase more black because what I have on hand is not enough of one color black. Ya would think black is .... black but it isn't. I will dig a little more before hitting the fabric shop.

Iceblossom, WMUTeach--so glad you found the VQW

aashley333--I think "organizing" the quilting room qualifies as a WIP for many of us

thimblebug6000--sounds like you have a lovely weekend planned

It's been a productive day here. I started my day off in the kitchen and made a chocolate zucchini cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting--mmmm. A few weeks ago, I took a barn quilt block class. It is ready for the sealant so I applied the first coat today. Will apply the second and third coats tomorrow. Cut four more quilt kits for charity. Then I assembled the dinosaur applique quilt top. No organizing today!

Yay! Lots of great projects happening! Let me tell you….some of the 3-5 yr olds are really a challenge for those daycare ladies….you couldn’t pay me enough to do it! Of course I am 74…..and most of them are 50 yrs younger😜. They had craft tables set up with beading, colouring and nail polish…Omi is now sporting 2 bright pink nails courtesy of my 5 yr GD ❤️. I did get a couple more blocks stitched this morning, and one of my crow mug rugs ready to hand stitch the binding on my + one hour trip in the morning.

Thanks for hosting Raggiemom. My weekend plan is to make more progress on my winter holiday quilt. I need to make a
bunch of flying geese.

Cedar

I also made flying geese today. I had my first quilting class. Then I came home and sewed more. That I can easily do this for 12 hours is kinda disturbing, but I no longer fear geese.

Cedar, when I taught beginner quilting classes at the quilt shop, I could always tell the persons who would continue to quilt. They were the people that came to class with all the correct supplies and went home after class and make more blocks to practice what they learned in class. You are one of those that will continue. Happy quilting!

I didn't get as much done as I planned. The weather was so nice, hubby and I decided to take an unplanned hike on a forest trail we hadn't done yet. It was a great day for a hike once home I did get a few more EPP pieces added but that was about all I did in the way of sewing. Maybe today I'll get more done.
