Well this is really strange. I typed a long message yesterday and for some reason it’s disappeared. Suffice it to say I had a productive day yesterday! And I commented on several posts. 🥺🤨
Today I had a book to finish for book club. Since I’m leading it, I thought it important to read it and be prepared to lead the discussion.
see you all next month!

aashly333, love your fabrics you chose. As to mine, this quilt came out at 78 x 78 so an over oversized lap quilt but he's a big guy also. He's into motorcycles and metals so reason why I chose the fabrics I did. My sister and I were able to pull all the paper backing off yesterday after lunch so it's ready to be quilted when I get my machine room put back together after the new flooring has been installed in early June.

Such a productive session!
Raggiemom, who among us has lost a post? Me. I think I must have not hit the send button.
I decided to put the new method from video on back burner, so I put the fabrics and patterns in a "kit" tub and move on to the next pixel quilt. My tunnel vision gets worse as I get closer to the end of these projects. I have examined the pattern and prints from the kit that I boxed up. Thankfully, I labeled each planned piece of fabric before storing. Today, lots of 3/4" squares...Perhaps the first block! I snapped a pic of my project beginning.
It is a nice feeling to have a plan!

I'm happy to say I was able to finish putting this Cog in a Wheel pattern together yesterday. Today, my sister and I will sit and pull off the paper backing on the 2nd half of the quilt. We pulled off the paper on the 1st half a week ago. Then this quilt will go on my "Waiting Pole" to be quilted once my new floor (epoxy type but not epoxy) is installed in June. Here are some photos of it finished and a pic of the quilt pattern itself if anyone is interested.

I had a lot of other stuff to do over the weekend. We are getting ready for a trip next weekend, my dad needed help with the cows, and there was Mother's Day to keep me busy, but since Id just taken the sewing machine out for the class I kept it at home instead of the sewing room at my grandma's old house I usually use, and I was able to get a bunch more blocks sewn. Only 8 more to go before I lay them out and decide what is needed for the final quilt.
