I have a quilt that I am hand quilting I am going to work some more on today. My goal is to finish it while I am house sitting this week. All except the binding. I only brought this so I could concentrate on it. I started it back in 03 while I was recovering from surgery. The recovery took months so I had plenty of time. It is all appliqued. It was my first hand appliqued quilt so not perfect but it is going to my granddaughter eventually . Her mom gave me money for the sashing and backing and to finish it for her about 5 yrs ago figured it was about time. lol And it will be on UFO that doesn't have to be packed and moved.

My goals for tonight when I get home from work are.. Finish my D9P top, I just have to add the borders to it now. and stop by the quilt store and buy the "Fight like a girl" quilt. I have till saturday to finish that top up and then I can quilt it on the Gammill at my mothers, for my Mother-in-laes birthday. It may be a stretch but it only a lap quilt so it shouldn't be too bad. Then all day Saturday I'm putting my Ipod on and going to town on the quilts.

Sewing goals for today:
1. Figure out the border quilting design.
2. Execute Goal #1
3. Afterwards, pick out all of the other border quilting design blunders from yesterday (extremely small stitches >:( )
4. Trim it off and bind the quilt.
5. Hopefully, after studying for tomorrow's Calculus exam, finish any remaining outstanding items with the quilt.
6. Name the quilt. People have said the quilt is just too pretty to not name it.
7. Stop sewing, really.

Wow...you are one busy woman! Congratulations on your good heart report. I am going to finish up my first Bow Tucks tote today. I'll post a picture when it's finished. I have to go buy a button. I do have a lap quilt that is in the process of quilting. I may try to do some work on it. But, what I really need to do is some housework....ha!

Just went on the western Massachusetts fabric shop hop this weekend with my 2 daughters. It was lots of fun and we got lots of great ideas - and lots of fabric! - Today I have to wash and iron it all so it will be ready to use.

Ah, skip the cleaning!!
My chores today consisted of 1. getting DS to school without a fight. He won. 2. change the kitty litter - done. 3. Shave the dog - done. 4. get my bag ready for quilting club this afternoon - we're starting on a bargello! 5. get my donation quilt on the frame and quilt it. 6. get the 2 kids charity quilts that I picked up at guild last week on the frame and quilt them. 7. Bind them all and get them out!! 8. remember to take pictures of them first. and finally 9. think about what project to do next.
See, the cleaning can wait. I'm just going to make a mess anyway. :)
