I am getting a ton done! I just wish it was sewing related...
Is amazing how when you clean up one area, how the area next to it instead of looking better now needs more attention! And when I take chores off the list new ones like "buy/install dimmer for dinning room light" get put on.

I'm doing my usual-sandwiching and quilting on a Project Linus quilt and then working on a patriotic type table runner for the 250th. I also need to finish a Challenge for my Guild that's due in 2 weeks! Nowhere near done! Its tiny but mighty lol.

I just love these weekends. I love the enthusiasm and thrill of knowing others are working on projects and striving to accomplish a project just like me. I have been plugging along on this top. It again is triangles that I learned in the class with Barbara Cline at AQS New England. It is mimicking the Sparkle pattern on Sewcanshe.com, a free pattern on the web site. I have said in previous posts, I love this concept, one block, multiple different quilts. I have enough triangles for three throw size quilts. Then all the patriotic fabric will be used up. I figured with our Country's 250th birthday this, it was quite appropriate to keep going with the patriotic theme. 😆 I jstill need to add two more rows to complete the width of it and am planning to add a border to get added length. The ombre triangles is fabric pulled from stash. Its so nice to see and read what everyone is doing or working on this VQW In will plan to check in tomorrow and catch up on everyones progress.

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 managed to add an additional row to my EPP top. I also laid out and stitched parts of the next row. I stitch them together in smaller sections as I find it easier to manage them when sewing to the main top. I don't think I even got near my studio to work on my second project.

Snooze! Love the Cog quilt and the colors you chose!
DD is visiting, and I didn't sew a stitch yesterday. And phone would not send photos for some reason. Nail salon took all morning, and the afternoon was sunny, so we all lounged in the pool.
After Mother's Day breakfast, Aubry is heading home, so I'll start adding the binding to the second design that I drew. The video has me create 8 blocks which will become 2 four patches. As I said, I drew a second design so that the binding did not converge 4 pieces in a corner. The square is 8". I now need to design more ideas if I plan on continuing down this path. Finally got 1 picture to send from phone.
Designing is my favorite!
I am also looking at this block and wondering how I will quilt it when done...

Wanting to wish everyone a happy's mother day. It is not a holiday we observe in any way, but acknowledgement of the people in our lives is always good.
We have gotten so much done in the last couple of days, today is our usual Bowling Date Day but we got the errands run yesterday so it will be nice to be able to have a day to just relax and appreciate our efforts of the last week. After our live bowling in the morning, hubby will be watching bowling on tv in the afternoon.
I really appreciate the lovely pictures!

Aashley333…what a stunning block you created! You surely do have more patience than me sticking with it!
just starting my morning it’s just past 7 am so enjoying my coffee…I did cut a few strips of fabric while waiting for my coffee. It is kind of a grey day out there so will probably spend some time stitching later. DD and I will have our luncheon tomorrow.

A few blocks together this morning but will stop and go to a local store celebrating Spring today, and buy some seeds etc. will check in again later, these are not in their final order until I get the last few blocks made, I am almost out of the white.
