Finally, got a few minutes to go thru blocks. Got bindings on two quilts last night, sewed up tablerunner this am, and a pot holder, I am going to make my 10 this month you wait and see, I will do it even if I have to stay up till midnight or so on Thursday and Friday or just no sleep, by cracky I am going to do it. I am assembling another table runner that I started from teaching a class, making a couple of pincushions with the same fabric that I cut up, then I cut another one (you think enough examples for class project, 5 of them?) so will get that one done as well, then onto more longarm quilting. Am posting in the UFOs the one I just did, it is awesome for sure.

There, done counting. I have shopped fabric from stash and all set up to get sewing on, now for some time. Going to be a few days girls, have to hit that 10 for the month first. Yep, my UFOS are my quilt life priority.

Moonrise, Those beautiful birds in your fabric just are too beautiful for words. They make any block look wonderful! Wish I had found that fabric.

No one was game for those big spud's, wanted smaller so they had room for ribeyes and cheesecake. Great weekend!

I love them all!

I have a question and Im SURE Ill get an answer from you experts! My daughter in law wants me to put a label on each quilt that I have made. So far its 3 grandkids and 2 for them. I cant find any pre-printed labels anywhere around here.
Does anyone know where I can get a label or the easiest way to put a label with my name on it to the back of the quilt?
Thanks!

I hardly ever use pre printed labels. Just cut a piece of fabric, I use something I used on the front, as big or small as you want like 3x5 turn each edge under 1/4" iron and write on the front. I always give a quilt a name, like "grandma's angel" or whatever. Then you can write made for ---- from Grandma Liz and put the month and year on it. I iron again after I'm sure the ink is dry to set it and then sew it on the back of each quilt.

you will get lots of answers i'm sure! to me, easiest is to write on fabric with a prisma color pen. if you have an embroidery machine, or can do alpha on your s.m. that would be next easiest, to embroider on fabric and hand stitch it on.

I also received a completed block from TwinRiverFarm
