    Since it is raining here and I'm in a quilting mood lately, I'll be playing with fabric while watching "The Quilt Show".

    I'm working on the Farmer's Wife Quilt - my first attempt at hand piecing. Also been going through my stash organizing. Telling myself to not start any more quilts until I finish some of my UFO's. Haven't quilted much in the last 5 years. Need to get back into it.

    I would be nice to think I could get in some sewing today but I'm not holding my breath. I have another round of sashing to do on blocks and then put the top together. I could hope I'd get the fabric at least ironed?? And with luck, cut?? DH was rambling last night about going to NYC to meet up with a friend we've not seen in years, so I don't know. Still also have to catch up with another friend who's newest son's quilt has been done for months but we've not seen the friend to be able to gift it yet. The child might be in college by the time he gets his baby quilt!

    I will be working on my "Pick Up Sticks" blocks. Not sure what I'm going to do with them, but I'm having fun making them!

    And, if I get to the fabric store, I will pick up some brown fabric, (Can you believe I don't have ANY brown in my entire stash?!), so I can start a Spring wall hanging for work.

    Going to finish a quilt top I started in a class I took at the Hampton
    Va quilt festival. Then taking one of my sewing machines for a yearly checkup. It is my favorite one so I will miss it.

    It's fun to read these posts. Quilting is a sisterhood. I know Lynnie is making bunnies. I am having a potholder day.
    My gift stash is empty!

    You don't need an excuse to go to the quilt store and buy fabric......you are among friends here.

    I'm working on the blocks for my Over the River and Through the woods quilt. Have had the embroidery done for a while. I did mine in dark blue.

    I have two baby quilts I'm trying to finish. One is going to be machine quilted and bound, the other one is all done except for sewing the label on the back. I pinned it on last weekend, and still haven't gotten to it! IF I have time after that I'll be doing some hand quilting and/or piecing. It is a gray, cold winter day here, so kids and I are going to play some games and watch a movie. Dh is working. So, low-key day for us, but that is fine!

    Have a great day!
