Greetings ladies!!! SandyinZ4 - I will take a picture of the tablerunner on a our dining room table as soon as I find it. It is my sewing table now.
I had a good discount coupon for Hancock Fabrics and got a bag of fusible batting. Well, I haven't worked with it before but a number of people in the quilt group that I belong to has. So what the heck - got the biggest bag I could. Put one of my toddler quilts on it today. WOW does it work nice. Will be able to get 5 projects done with this one bag. Now I have to get a walking foot for my Bernette and I'm in business. These UFO's will get done finally. Not good with free motion and have been practicing, but I'm SID on these. Will give them to the reservation for kids there.
Now I can't wait to see what other UFO's I've hidden away and collecting big discount coupons.

Been away for a time and the bells have been ringing all that time.
Congrats to all of you that made progress on, or finished projects.
Welcome to the UFO train,Quiltmore. You've been making good progress with 3 FOs in 3 months.
Joe looks like a great quilting buddy.

Sorry about your foot Wildyard. Maybe you can learn to sew with the other foot if the boot is too clunky.
I have been busy with a tutorial on another site and have kept up so far. I also have a 4patch posie ready to quilt and a BOM top ready to quilt. I am trying to decide whether to add a border to a wallhanging that I added continuous prairie pts to.[ATTACH=CONFIG]322115[/ATTACH]It's about 17 " wide. What do you think?

I would another border, maybe cut about 2.5 inches wide.

barbellen, add the other border as said about 2.5", will make those points show up better and add a bit more dimension to the hanging and you will like it so much better. Be ready for posting, I will take some photos of my projects and get them on here tomorrow. i have binding to get done first, ugh. I have to figure out what color of binding to do on the bargello one. Nice job gals, and welcome aboard this fun challenge train. I am enjoying it and love seeing all the gorgeous quilts being done. Great job!!!!

Well ladies, I guess it was meant to be. Took a one of my machines over to have a "spring" cleaning and got my other one upstairs. Was going to finish this UFO tonight - just needed to machine the binding on. It is now broke down and the repair man is out of town this week. So I guess I have to do paperwork. Darn.
I can lay out one of the many tops that I have made and sandwich the batting and back but that will be it until the machines are back.
Happy sewing to the rest of you.
