I'm about 2/3 of the way moved in and settled. I am committed to be totally settled and sewing by December 31st! So I'm gonna work really hard refolding my stash, finding my cutters, putting all my ufo's in a special place, and hanging quilts. I'll post pictures soon. It's going to be a fabulous place to create! I can't wait to sew again!

Watson, love your horse, it's coming along so nicely!

Letawellman, that is some beautiful quilting.

Your dahlia quilt is stunning Raggiemon, btw, how did the appliances install from the last VQW go?

Have been absent from the VQA because after my T. dinner I didn't manage to get my 94 year old guest home before she fell along the way and broke her hip. Left me extremely upset and rattled and I tried sewing my setting squares (backwards, unpick, backwards). Got a not so good night's sleep and tried again yesterday morning and repeated the nonsense. So today is a new day and back to the original HST quilt which has two rows reversed. I will unpick this morning and try again to get the now 3 large pieces connected together correctly and hopefully sandwiched before nightfall.

The replacement hose they gave us is twice the length it needs to be and not the right one but my husband cobbled it together so at least I could use the dishwasher. The new replacement hose arrived in mail today but isn't the right hose! So I will stop at Home Depot after church tomorrow and see if we can't get this resolved.

Well, I guess that means that my work on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt gets double-credit, because that's part of what I'll be working on this LONG weekend! So, I'm doing my neutral 4-patches right now, but if my brain gets tired of that, then I'll stitch a little on my Challenge quilt for my longarm guild. That one is nearly finished - I did a lot of "modern style" quilting on it. I had joked with my LA guild that since I started the quilting on Halloween, I was going to "dress up like Judi Madsen", in hopes that it would improve my quilting skills.

Here's a few of what's completed so far...
