Jeanine, such cute chatter. 2 years old are so cute and fast.
I love the finishes so far. The blue quilt very pretty. I like the fabric and colors. �� Good job on the poncho. At least it's off the UFO pile. Happy sewing everyone. I need to decide what UFO to finish next. Decisions, decisions. |
Oh, no. How frustrating! Happy you figured out your "helper's" little tension change.

Some Chatter from me. Not much to report except frustration. I decided to finish a baby quilt. Expected to take just a few hours to finish, only needed quilting and binding. Well, I started off well, then started having problems with stitching being wierd. Turns out the needle had bent at the end. Began again. I was about 3/4 of the way done when I began to get rat's nests on the bottom. Cleaned, etc. Tore out, restitch. Over and over again. I decided to use my trusty old machine to finish it. I got it partly done and same problem. I threw it across the room, back it was going to the UFO and I off the the store to buy a gift. But I couldn't let that quilt beat me. So I didn't leave the house. Finished the quilting by hand. Won't look as great but it would be done. Then the binding. Well, I got it half on and the nests began again. GRRRR. Turns out a little 2 yr old helper reset the tension to zero. LOL
Quiltermomma, I'm also looking forward to more finishes. You make such beautiful quilts. I'm at a standstill until Sunday afternoon on my scrappy quilt. Lots of things to do between now and then but come Sunday, I'll be back at it. Libster, thank you for sharing Sewbizgirl's tutorial. :) It's the method I plan to use on my scrappy quilt. Yours really turned out well. I added it to the Boom gallery btw. |
Thanks, Janice.

Working on my daughter's quilt I started in 2014. Not sure how it will come out, but hoping well. I am stuck on the pattern and sure I have overcut the strips needed. We shall see. I have entered in the Boom 18 to help out with the my issues.

Thanks oksewglad and MadQuilter. About that 2 year old, She came to me yesterday with a pin saying "here you go". She had taken in out of the quilt and brought it to me to put it away. She was so proud of herself! Perhaps I have a budding quilter.
We have to start them early to boost their confidence later....8 is the magic # at my house...GD#5 turns 8 in March and she can't wait... |
I have 8 more 9P's to sew for my project...didn't realize I was so close to getting ready to set them...now to check out the stash for setting squares and borders...

Yeah Oksewglad, good job girl. Keep it up.

I love what everyone has done. I just don't see how you all get so much done in the same 24 hours a day! |
Jeanine, let her play with charm square scraps...I have an old FP pink toy plastic sewing machine..my Grands have "sewn" many quilts...early fondling of fabric I would think...
Thanks QMomma...9P's all sewn with a few extras... |

I've been working away assembling swap blocks I received about three years ago into a quilt. Have it at the flimsy stage. I guess it doesn't officially count until it's actually quilted and bound, but at least it is a lot closer to being done than blocks sitting in a plastic bag. This will be a charity quilt. I have another almost finished -- just have to bind it. Also am working on three WIPs, one of which is En Provence mystery. Phew!
