I'll be machine quilting a surprise quilt for the moderator on another forum and continuing work on a long-term applique project. Might sneak in my March Lotto blocks, too. I'm adding the base vines to the third side of the border on the applique project tonight--that's the most boring part-- then I get to start adding flowers, buds and leaves.

This is our weekend for BOM. We have to travel about 30 minutes and several of us go together. After going to our LQS we go to a couple of other places to shop and go out to eat. We always have a good time. That pretty well takes care of Sat.

I have a wall hanging pinned together and maybe I'll get to machine quilt it.

Today, I cut my scrap fleece and sewed a rag type throw with them. I realized they are good boy colors-brown, maroon and dark gray-so I'm going to send it to my GS.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

We have a busy weekend otherwise but I would like to get four more flower blocks done this weekend that would make me half way done!

Vicky

- complete Sunbonnet Sue Girls Gone Wild block
- make a few more pink/white blocks for Lynn's Breast Cancer Auction
- work on Clue 1 of the Mystery QOV
- complete the first block of Baltimore Blues (it's almost time for the 3rd one!)

That's the plan, but you know how that goes......

Well Ladies and Lockeb, I actually have some quilting plans this weekend. I knew that my stepsister was pregnant. New to the family sister so we aren't realy close, but still. Well my mom just told me that her shower is on March 8th so I am going to whip up a quilt for her this weekend and send it off so my Mom can give it to her at the shower.

I am excited to actually be able to get back in my sewing room. Yay for me. It has been months.

No quilting this weekend. Trying to finish ME-ing the pieces for a lace poncho. I may get started on a hand applique project while the machine is embroidering. DH is leaving at 6:30 am tomorrow on a business trip so I will have the whole weekend to do what I want! No cooking dinner...wheeeeeeee!

Would love to quilt this weekend but it's not in the cards. Last week a lady called me and asked me to speak to her church group on sin. I was thinking maybe ten minutes, no problem (it's a subject I'm personally familar with) As we ended the conversation she said, you'll have about an hour" grrrrr so that and a sermon for next Sunday definately leave no time for quilting (poor me) Thanks for letting me vent (I know I should have asked earier in the conversation so it's largely my own fault) I have a four patch quilt almost ready to quilt, maybe next week!

Seeing as how we were forecast a little drift of snow today and then clearing and moderating, and instead we are watching bucket fulls drop from the sky and traffic stuck on the road in front, I don't plan on going anywhere today, nor being outside working any more than I have to.

I am more than half, and working on 2/3 done on hand quilting a Queen sized scrappy. I haven 't had much time to quilt in the last two days, so maybe I can catch up for lost time today. This is the second scrappy I have attempted to hand quilt, and I am so very pleased with how it's coming out. The reverse side is actually neat, LOL.

If I stay on schedule, the quilting was projected to take me six weeks. I am getting so pumped, however, seeing more done than undone that I seem to be picking up speed. It's not been easy, as this one is really done with all sorts of scraps, some light and easily needled like shirtings, and some quite dense and hard to work. I'm glad I'm not working against a real deadline.

I plan to work on my Flower blocks and I have a birthday block to make. I am also crocheting a bouquet of flowers for a friend. There is always ranch work to do. I had planned to do this quilting last Sunday but we had a lot of snow melt too fast and we had a lake running through our property. If the level had risen one more inch it would have gone in the barn. We did a lot of sandbagging and moving dirt. No flooding in the forecast this weekend so I will get to do my sewing. If you want to see pictures of our lake front property go to the link below it is my husbands blog.

Red, I was just thinking during the night when
I wasn't sleeping that no one had ask for weekend
plans lately!I cut up my oriental fabrics and have
a Split Nine Patch started. I started crocheting a
rag rug last night. I'm finding that very hard on the hand and shoulders.

Well, we're supposed to go to an antique show in Schoharie tomorrow, if we don't get dumped with too much snow. Other than that I would like to keep working on my Independence quilt. I am using my new vintage 15-91 sewing machine to piece some of it. It really sews great (knock wood). I will also be wishing I had the time and energy to be doing the first clue of the mystery quilt referenced above. On Sunday, going to see "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and then to dinner at our son's house. I did complete one UFO this month and that was a pocketbook that I had cut out before Christmas. So I'm trying to keep to my resolve of finishing up all started projects. Anyway, I've run off the mouth enough. Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Leap Day!

Geri--Your 15-91 should be good for years to come. My daughter still uses the one that my mom had given me. Mom got it from a professional seamstress when I was a little girl and it had already seen a decade of hard use. It's over 50 years old now and still going strong. Mom remembers watching Marion mend her boys high-top sneakers on it.

I got everything done that I listed except for working on the Mystery QOV.....the day isn't over, but I don't think it's going to happen.....
