I'm with everyone in spirit. I'm not doing any sewing/quilting today but I am eyebrows deep in my stash. Refolding, inventorying and sorting. Vowed to accomplish this before I begin one more project. If I don't do this, you all will be meeting me on TLC - "Hoarders Buried Alive". I think it's going to be very liberating to know just what I do have for fabric at this point. Consider me on the fabric moratorium wagon until further notice.

Well at least I'm not the only one!! My husband doesn't want me putting holes in the wall to make the design wall more permanent but I think that's just too darn bad. I need to anchor it better than just with yards of blue tape! Holes are easy to fill & patch, anyway.
This quilt is destined to be a Christmas present so I HAVE to "get over it" and get back to work on it, hopefully today. I couldn't even scream and stomp around when I found it though, my DH was still sleeping! LOL
I'm less frustrated now. Going to go do a little "shopping therapy" and pick it back up later this afternoon when I can look at it without wanting to bang my head against the wall!

Time for lunch - I have the borders sewn onto the front, now I just need to figure out the measurements to place this backing fabric into the exact center and cut borders for it.

Getting a late start. Our youngest DS invited, yesterday, himself to breakfast today and invited DD. They left about half hour ago. We will be eating lunch soon and then leaving for the Blue Angels air show soon after. I have read all the posts and will now do some more cutting out of blocks for quilt for youngest DS. It is a 9-patch and snowball in red and black. The reds are from my scrap stash. I think I am now going to need to get more reds out of my fat quarter stash. The black is a solid and the background. May get to sew when we get back.

i thought orange tabbies was males but calicos are always female. That is the pattern that has always rang true with my cats.... & all the ones that I've know. That's is alot of cats.
But anyways, I'm about to start some sandwiching those little quilts. Shouldn't take long.

Just checking in, have the hearts quilted now for the background quilting. Had to run an errand but ready to get back in there. Great to see/hear what everyone else is working on.
Jan.... as far as lunch goes, deviled eggs & smoked salmon leftovers for me.
