    friday's progress. I can't imagine making this quilt without a design wall. Looks like a big pinata ;-) Sorry for darkish picture.

    DebraK that is wonderful. Hopefully I'll get more done this weekend. With broken foot my slowness has turned into a crawl.

    Will miss the quilting weekend as hubby and I are now in Texas for the next month. But - let me share. Coming thru Oklahoma we stopped at an antique/junk store. I found a very nice Singer 99K - hubby said to get it and bought it for my upcoming birthday. The pressure foot was missing - someone had stolen it, can you imagine. But the man where I bought my Janome from works on these old machines so I have no doubt he will have one. It sure does run nice. I am going to a Quilt show here in Rockport, Tx this morning and there is a neat little quilt shop about 2 blocks from our hotel. In a couple of weeks when we are in South Padre Island, Tx there is a big quilt show there. It'll be interesting to see what the quilters down this way are up to. Will checking in tonight to see what you folks are all up to. I can almost here the machines a humming.

    Bummer. I am in NYC at a gift buying show for my retail business. I'll be following along from my iPhone to see what everyone is doing. 😊

    I am hoping to catch up on the 365 Blocks challenge and work on my son and his fiancee's Dresden Plate quilt as much as possible today. I will also serge some baby items for a charity.

    I was planning to be gone all day to watch my great-niece's basketball game but I woke up light-headed and knew a 6 hour round trip in a van would not be good. So I will sew!

    Need to do the mitered corners on my dd & Son-in-law's queen quilt. I'm also hoping to get it sandwiched this week-end, anything to get away from all the election news and phone calls here in Iowa.

    Here are the two quilts that I'm currently working on. I've got about 20 blocks done for the Asterisk quilt (top photo.) It's not that hard, but I do have to keep an eye on my seam allowance. It really requires an exact, 1/4" seam, with not much wiggle room. If my seam is too wide, then the seam allowances overlap in the back, creating more bulkiness. If I make them too narrow, then the stripes in the blocks won't match up very well. so far, I like the way it's coming out. Things aren't going to line up perfectly, but that the charm of this quilt. (Ha ha...that's the way I see it anyway.) I like putting the colors together and trying to find which ones really stand out.

    The other quilt (bottom photo,) is a simple log cabin, but I'm not thrilled with it. It looks too simple. The logs are rather wide and so it doesn't look like a lot of work went into it. I'm thinking of jazzing it up with a piano key border. What do you all think? I tried to make it the colors of the ocean, since this is for a friend that lives by the sea.

    Now...off to see what everyone else is doing.
