Pieced together batting for this quilt. It's a slow job. Keep getting distracted.
It's suppose to be in 90's today and tomorrow. Got everything in backyard watered and protected from sun. Need to water front. Then I can get back to quilting.

I just got back from dropping off my five donation projects to the long armer, they have been successfully donated from my side of things and are her's now. Took a package of precut 4" squares to one of my Tuesday group ladies as we were on the road, and she showed me the finished version of one of my other donation tops. She was having a hard time getting started on her own projects and wanted some tops to quilt with so I was able to help her out -- but now she's ready to piece again!
So this is the unfinished top. It is complete now including bindings are sewn on, wtg Janice! The horse fabric in the border is also the back and was one of the $1/yard fabrics from the Walmart sale last year.
It's a gorgeous day out here, hubby has made arrangements for a porch pickup of fresh goose eggs about 15 minutes away. I'm going to go with him for the drive.
If I do anything sewing related today, it will be finishing up some masks.

Still working on mask covers with a few masks thrown in for those who asked. Almost have half those N95 covers requested by the hospital. But I need a little break. The drunkards path quilt tops done with black backgrounds are waiting for their appliques. I am planning on a llama, snow geese and snowy egret. I think there are only three tops. I'll check when I'm ready to apply the applique.

I've been sewing like a madwoman this week. Today I finished the last of 200 shoo fly blocks for my Omigosh quilt. This is a 4 1/2 inch finished block so lots of tiny pieces. This is half of the blocks needed, the rest are double 9 patches - five 9 patches in a 9 patch layout. But before I start on those, I am going to make some Farmer's Wife blocks for a sewalong group I am in, so that will be my VQW project.
Here's my Omigosh blocks...

I'm in! Made log cabin blocks today to go with red work Santa's that my sister sent--she's a marvelous embroidery artist and I'd sent her a book of Christmas embroider for her birthday, and when she wasn't making masks she "whipped up" a set for both of us--and I am doing the blocks and the quilting. Also I'll finish quilting her "Over the River" quilt and hopefully, start the cutting of a modern "imploding" quilt. weather will be chilly so no temptation to putter in the garden!

I'm joining you this weekend! I started doing some ruler work on my longarm this afternoon. I made the quilt top last summer and am just now getting to the longarming. It's a baby quilt I made for my daughter.
