It's going to be a beautiful quilt Sewing!! I don't think it's too busy because the background fabrics aren't.

Thanks Judith! Seeing a bird of prey in action is really great. I was quite far away though. I can understand why the dog was afraid of going into the yard.

Sorry, can't see anyone's post on this page. Hope we can soon.

Try refreshing the page. It is the small arrow/circle at the top left of the page. That usually works to make all the posts show.

Here is my latest creation....seriously a fun project.

I worked on the hexagons yesterday. I found this great plastic template in my ruler box with little holes for the seam markers. Great thing. Cut them all. They sewed together pretty good. Until I went to measure and trim to size. My great plastic template was the exact size, leaving out my 1/4" seam allowance all the way around.! Plan "B" is that I add plain background fabric, using the same template, all the way around. Framing it.

You could always just make more hexi's.....it's all coming together beautifully. Loving the colors..

sewingitall...Oh you make me want to start this...but I dare not add another project...I don't have Teen or Anael's persistence to see a project through and can't have any more UFO's!

I love it! Like Teen said, it's all coming together beautifully.

Sure you can have more UFO's :D :D :D Just start another project and you have one more UFO! Come on OK, you can do it. Start your own Jen Kingwell project. We will cheer you on, no matter how long it will take you to finish.

Anael...you are so bad egging OK on....lol... Shame on you...However, I would really like someone to start My Small World....:DIt's kind of a mini, OK....kind of....right up your alley, which, if I recall, You mentioned wanting to do this pattern...*wink*

Sooooooooooooo why don't you start My Small World yourself Teen? What's holding you back? You still have a sewing machine available ;)
Or we could start it together, you, OK and me. Kind of a BOM but I'm sure we can't keep up with you. You're racing through the blocks :)

Teen, love how your Happy Birds finished up. Gail your project is coming along lovely too.
I have been preoccupied with my new longarm machine that arrived just after Christmas. I had five (maybe six) tops that needed quilting.

I dug my LTG out of its project box this weekend and need to finish it so I can start a new project. I only have section six to piece. I have all the blocks done and just have one checkerboard to do...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. [ATTACH=CONFIG]608263[/ATTACH]I am happy with the chiffon grunge sashing.

Ohhhhhhhhh I love your LTG!! It's so bright and happy, looks like Spring!!

A longarm!! How exciting!!

jmoore, love your quilt! The colors are the brights which is what my scrap batik pile is. Love the sashing. It really sets off the quilt. So, ok, what's LTG. I'll Google it.
Working away. Pictures later.

Oh, Long Time Gone. I like that pattern. I was thinking of buying it. I need a plan for the rest or more of my scrap pile. It does seem to be smaller but have found a batik strip box, a second smaller box of bigger flat pieces and a third small box of piles of leftover strips.

jmoore, your LTG is coming along beautifully. The yellow grunge sashing sure is making it cheerful looking. Congrats on your long arm.

Long Time Gone is a great pattern, just blocks, great for using up scraps.

Thank you, jmoore!! love seeing your LTG again. Woohoo...you are close and it looks wonderful. Hope you are enjoying your Long-arm. That is exciting...

Don't tempt me off my very organized and well thought out path, girl! Lol...I have not purchased the pattern yet but I do plan to. Going to work on a couple other projects before I tackle another a kingwell pattern. But, when I do it will be GW since I have that project ready to go. May change my mind by the time I get to it..lol...

Ohhhh GW, that's exciting too!! What colors/fabrics? Totally scrappy or really organized? Go wild with GW girl!!

jmoore...how cheery...yes the yellow Grunge is just right for this lovely! Thanks for sharing your WIP. LTG and MSW beckon me but I think they're on a bucket list right now. No you can't twist my arm from "over there", Anael!

I'm starting to think of graduation quilts. #1 GS graduates next year and then it's a down hill roller coaster ride with graduates. We just found out that #14 is on its way this summer. Wow...another little boy so they are ahead with and 8 to 6 ration! I think this will be the last of the grand baby quilts!!!!

Have a guild meeting today...better dash as I have some things yet to do before I give the presentation.

You know you can do a GW in baby colors OK?!?! Hahahahaaaaa
A LTG would be great in shades of blue too :D :D

My GW will be oranges, greens, teals, white. I shopped for all fabric already...it's kitted and ready to go..but it's packed...lol! As you know, I rarely do scrappy quilts. The process frustrates me and makes too big of a mess. I Love other's scrappies but not my own.

I am almost done with a Dresden quilt I started and I'm using all the remnants and scraps from Happy Birds quilt. The remains will be cut up in the sizes I am collecting for a couple of future projects I'll make when I have enough. Cutting as I go is as scrappy as I am willing to go.

Congrats on the news of new grandbaby, OK!! How exciting....

Here's what I'm working on today.

I machine pieced the flowers. And decided to hand applique it, the stems and leaves. Easier that way. Still have the last flower to sew down. It's a snow day today, good day to sew.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]608319[/ATTACH]
All done with this block. I soaked it for a 1/2 hour in cool water last night to get out my washable blue marker, the glue and to puff out the flowers.

I made a basket block with 3 little flowers. It spoke to me more than the one that was there. Haven't decided what fabric for the corners.
Yes, I ordered Long Time Gone through etsy yesterday. Can't wait to get it. I have a 3 day quilt retreat early in March. That would be a perfect time to start LTG. Hoping to have my GTSB done by then.

Love love love your GTSB !!!!! Such lovely colors! The flower basket is great!

Sewing......flowers look great...I did the same thing with my flowers. Those three floral blocks were totally designed for hand piecing. Lol.. You are getting close...

Oh, I love your basket block with the flowers. It's one of my favorites. Your moving right along on your GTSB's.

It just keeps "growing"...wonderful!

I need one more clam shell to finish this block. I hand applique d it. Had to watch 3 movies, it took me that long. But wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

I've been sewing blocks together this morning. And cut the borders. Still have a few holes to fill in.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]608510[/ATTACH]

Don't you love it when it all comes together? Your GBST will be beautiful!!

I have 2 weeks to finish it up. Going to a retreat early March and plan to take my big tub of batik scraps and my new pattern for LTG !!
On my GTSB I think I'm going to add a thin dark inner border to stop all the bright action of the main quilt. I have a brown hanging in the picture. It's an old strip of binding. I more likely to use a dark blue though.

Oh LTG!!! Nice :)
I see what you mean with the thin dark inner border. Will be looking great. On my screen it looks black.

Beautiful so far, sewing... I like the look of the mini border.

Sewing, Your quilt is going to be beautiful. I love it.

How are you ladies doing?

I have been finishing up a few things. My Valentines Day quilt is now hanging in my living room.

I have put the label on my Mini Wall Hanging for the Wall Hanging Swap. And, I started the next Wall Hanging. I am playing with 1.5" unfinished triangles this time around. I was inspired by the "color wheel" like quilts that Teen has made. I have the top finished but I have to work on a demo of lettering I want to embroider on it.

My next project is making a curtain for my grandsons bedroom.

Hi, Judith....doing well here...

I'm so glad my work is inspirational to you. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I continue to play with color wheel theme. The fabrics I used in the Wonky Neighborhood are being put to use again for another mini...this one is a bit more challenging with color placement and piecing. The smallest size is 7/8"...yikes! I'm almost done and it looks pretty cool. The pattern provided 3 sizes (lap, WH, and mini)....of course, I picked the mini. Lol.. I had enough fabric for a WH size but didn't want one that big so...mini it shall be. I have one more project using this fabric. I'm trying to use what I have out and available since everything is packed...and, I Love rolling around in rainbows so I'm good for now..:p

Hi all, plodding along. Had one of the grandsons come into my sewing room on Sunday. His eyes got big looking at the mess my big pile of batik scraps makes. He says 'wow!'. Monday had a different grandson come into my sewing room. He says 'what happened in here??!!!'
Getting down to the last of the blocks on my GTSB quilt. Some of those blocks have taken me 2 days or more to complete. I'm not fast, just persistent.
