I'm working on a mariner's compass for my FIL's mother. It's birthday gift for her 90th birthday, plus she just got moved from her house into a home becaue she's starting to lose it, so she has barely any of her belongings in her new room, and her old bedding doesn't fit.
The top is mostly done, I JUST finished embroidering the lettering for the center of the compass, next I have to applique my embroidered center on, sandwich and quilt the bugger. I have to have it finished by the end of next week, which is when my in-laws are going to visit this woman in New Brunswick.

4 memory quilts, a tee skirt, three runners and two other quilts all for clients! And as for my owsn stuff... Bunny Hill BOM!

Two winter wallhangings with a snowman and big mittens (tops done, one sandwiched and basted, one flannel throw for dh (blocks done, but top not put together), one batik throw for dear friend (about halfway done with machine quilting).

But here's the sad news...I'm not working on anything right now! I don't know what to do next! My stash is sitting there askign to be used, and I haven't the slightest idea what to make or who to give it to!

Plus I am out of batting, so I couldn't finish anything if I wanted to...lol

Anyone who wants to paint feel free to come on over... I have plenty of walls needing TLC!

I had better quilt hubbies wild animals quilt this week. His b.d. is fast approching and I need something special for it besides making a lazagna dinner for him. He is the type of guy that has everything he needs and this is the only thing that would make him happy.

I am also going to fm quilt a wall hanging called, "Outstanding in his Field". A scarecrow/ fall wall hanging.

I have three pants. a jacket and seven shirts for sarah's winter wardrobe. I bought the patterns and fabric for. (my 4 year old niece)

The X bag from the black orential fabric I showed earlier this week.

And finally ... An assortment of UFO's that are very near completion.

Oh my! I have to write it down? :shock: Well here goes:

Blue and white wall hanging - being hand quilted, just borders to do
Checky hearts bed quilt - hand quilting, half done
Sofa throw - top pieced, waiting to be quilted
Dutch chintz stars top - waiting to be hand quilted

And I don't want to admit to anymore! :D

Reading that back, looks like I'd better STOP piecing and START quilting! :D

Well, I'm working on these appliqué blocks that I bought at a silent auction for $5. I just finished the top this weekend. I need to piece a back for it and then quilt it. I'm going to use a variegated thread with all those beautiful colors in it and mimic the appliqué in the plain block. I already made the stencil for it.

Thanks for starting this post, it is so interesting to read!

1- make a Christmas and birthday "quilt" for my Mother's old lady quilt.
I posted pics of the quilt here, the lady on the quilt holds seasonal small quilts: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/26776.page

2- making my One Couch Quilt quilt for a staff quilt show, and local guild show both in the spring 2 weeks apart. I describe it here:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/15/22092.page

3- making a Challenge quilt for the guild show, have an idea, but the rules say a 11X8.5" landscape - and my thought I want to do has been designed in my head as a yard square or so wall quilt....hmmm....

4- making a quilt for my nephew who will be going to Bible College next year: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/26923.page

5- 6- 7-....... I know I will think of another million things before I get these done! And I will probably end of doing a few Christmas things, but haven't even started to think about that yet! UUGGHHH!!!!!!! :? :roll:

I just finished my Christmas practice quilt which is my first real quilt ever. I'm still embroidering daisy blocks, but slowly because right now sewing is more fun. As soon as I finished my Christmas quilt, I started making me some Sunbonnet Sue pot holders. I have the fabric bought for a no-sew fleece blanket for son #2 for Christmas............and yet I'm still on here admiring all the pretties instead of working!

I'm working on the Navy and White, almost have the center finished.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/210/25353.page

also working on cutting out a baby quilt that needs to be finished by the end of October.
Also have ;a top waiting to be hand quilted.
and about 4 UFOs that need to be finished by the end of the year. :D

Also planning a new top, but just in thre planning stages right now.

just finished the hand embroidery for the label... good God what a pain in my butt!!! I don't usually do any hand sewing, in fact, I don't think I've done any since I was a kid doing cross stitch, so yeah, my fingers are SORE!!!!

I'm so sorry for your poor little fingers, but the quilt is beautiful and the extra effort of doing the embroidery by hand is very special.

Yea, I was happy when I got my new sewing machine that does lettering, but I don't like the lettering it does :( It's better to take the time to do it by hand and be satisfied with the final product.

So since looking through this thread and realizing that I have nothing going on, I decided to try my first scrappy quilt. I busted out my bag of scraps, went to www.quiltville.com and dove in!

So far I've got all the peices cut, and two blocks sewn...here's a sample...

I have a picture in my head of what the quilt will look like done...but unfortunately I cannot download my picture from my brain so you're all stuck with this...lol

2 sampler class quilts. I have no idea how big they'll be.
1 blue star throw. Praying it doesn't rain as I need to hang it on the clothesline for sandwiching.
1 large makedo quilt for the bf.
2 dolls, 1 Santa, 1 treetop angel, 1 memorial angel, 1 stuffed wolf.

I feel like I'm forgetting something (or somethings).

you done a great job so far girl keep up the good work.

lol :0D

Big fan of zig zags.

Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

Working on or procrastinating on what I'm doing: 1) a quilt (see avatar) for the master bed, 2) need to get xmas presents started, 6 handbags for the gals and I dunno for the guys, 3) t-shirt quilt for my son, and I dunno what else since I'm brain dead, lol

2. I have 2 patchwork lap quilt tops done ready for borders & backing.

3. I have squares cut for 5 more patchwork lap quilts.

4. I have all the pieces cut for my quilted drapes for my living room slider & dining room window, it is a sampler consisting of the following blocks: variable star, card trick, rocky mountain puzzle, windblown square, diamond star, album, peace & plenty and prairie queen. I have 1/4 of the squares done).

5. Finishing my new sewing room so I will be more productive.

That's it for now, hopefully I will get these done by Thanksgiving so I can move on to a new project.

Ummmm the last of the 2008 tax returns!!!

Oh, quilting....... I have a charity quilt to quilt on so I can turn it in next month, and a quilt that I am fighting with to finish the quilting.

Getting all my pre-op stuff done I can before I fly to Maui for a week. :)

this is a couple of projects I am working on or getting ready to.
Have loved seeing everything you all are working on! Some of you finish so fast .. :mrgreen:

The Autumn wall hanging is gorgeous and that brown floral is TO DIE FOR!!! :D

Now Gayle you are not inviting us to Maui????? Okay buy us a FatQ :D :D
Have fun :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry..... DH and I only :) :)

This was supposed to be for our 25th wedding annevesary, which was 4 1/2 years ago. We have planned this trip for 7 years now. I'm pretty excited about leaving next tuesday!!!

I am having some shoulder issues which will prevent us from doing some of the things we wanted to do, like ride bikes down the volcano and other things (hense surgery in November)

k3n - Thanks so much for the compliment on the autumn... after I got all those border pieces sewed on I realized I sewed my N in autumn on upside down..... still bothers me.. but I wasn't pulling all of it apart. I hate when that happens !
The brown will look great as a purse .. when I can find the pattern :? Maybe quilt gnomes come in and move things or steal them.. I can't be that disorganized :D

Have a great time and soak up some sun for all of us!!!! Enjoy yourself even if you can't do some of the things you want.

Nope, not for you. I have a whirly I use for clothes drying, craft project drying and quilt basting.

I'm always working on other peoples orders. I never have time to make anything for me! :(
