What are your plans for the last weekend in March?

16 years ago

My friend and I are attending the second Double Wedding Ring class on Saturday. We have had to 2 weeks to make "lots" of arcs. Now we will learn how to attach the arcs to the background pieces.

So, what quilty things are you doing this weekend?

Saturday I'm going to a friend's home to sit & sew with her and another friend. Of course a trip to the quilt store is a must as is lunch out. :-)

I'm finishing up another UFO (niece's frog quilt) and hope to complete the piecing of my green and black Bear Paw. All the 1/2 sq triangles are finished and most are sewn into rows so I'm almost done. Still have to do the applique on this one. It's my May UFO.

Sunday I have a customer quilt to finish quilting. If time allows I'll quilt the frog quilt too. It's a lap size. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it! ;-)

While I would love to spend it quilting--tomorrow we are helping a daughter and son-in-law load up for a move to the southern part of the state. Oh, well, maybe I'll have some time Sunday afternoon....

Hubby and I are heading out to buy cement and some fillers to make some big trough style planters. I want to put them under my freestanding arch trellis. I live in rented house so I am mainly gardening in containers this year. since we owned our own places for years I have always had a garden and I just can't give that up! Anyhow we're going to make a wood 'mold' and pour the mix into it and I'm going to use my new troughs to plant flowering vines that will climb my trellis and be portable so that when we finally buy our own house I can take it all with and never have to dig into the landlord's lovely red clay. (awww) I got directions and recipes from a really cool library book-- "Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden" by Sherri W. Hunter Check it out (after I return it) it has directions for making pots, planters, birdbaths and sculptures. cool book! mary

Linda, the bunnies on your table runner are really cute! I was thinking of National Quilting Day this morning and saw in our newpaper that there was an estate sale close by and they listed "old quilts" --- well, the quilts weren't as old as I expected and although they were lovely, I wasn't shopping for a semi-modern quilt at those prices. However, I found a quilted child's skirt for $3. It is such a fun item and has a ton of quilting in it, so that --- along with a few other things --- came home with me. I don't usually do that sort of thing so it was fun. What a beautiful day it is here... too pretty to stay inside and sew. (I do not have a child to wear the skirt; I am just keeping it because it is so INTERESTING! I wish I could post a picture but PhotoBucket and my computer don't seem to get along these days.) Everyone have a nice day! Jeanne

Do you have quilting plans for this weekend? March 12 -13

I hope to get the quilting decided on a quilt that I am not overly fond of, so having a hard time. It has been laying on the living room floor for 2 weeks now-I keep finding dog toys on it :). I want to finish 6 more pinwheels & make decisions on borders for a quilt I started as a gift for my MIL when I first started learning to piece quilts - 2 years ago. I pulled the project out, and I am so close to finishing it....I was scared I would cringe when I looked at it-but I am still very happy as I am a precise sewer, so the workmanship is good and I made good color & fabric choices - very planned - and I am able to figure out where I left off in the directions in the book. Yea! Hopefully I will get it done this month.

Saturday is our neighboring town's community days...and that means TONS of yardsales..my hubby and my SIL go every year...this year we are taking the truck! lol. Last year we filled the trunk, back seat and part of the front seat! Saturday afternoon....run over and see the new grandbaby...she will be 4 days old. She is such a snugglebunny. gotta get the arbor and back sidewalk in...been working on it 2 weeks now...the older I get the slower I get! Need to move about 50 hostas (I hate garden mistakes!!) and start cleaning up the picnic pavillion. Have started some rwb blocks for a talberunner (too late for memorial day, so guess it's for the 4th of july) want to work on them...so maybe sunday afternoon. I make plans and then life decides I'm going somewhere else!! lol. Guess I just need to go with the flow! Have a great week end everyone! Lynn in PA

Yesterday we took all the screens down and washed the windows. Tomorrow we are building a bridge over a creek on a mountain bike trail (between rain showers). Sunday I have 2 birthday blocks to finish and a bunch of laundry to catch up on. Not very exciting, but gotta be done.

Started a Cathedral Window quilt in January (what was I thinking!). Hope to get a bit done on it this weekend because I'm at the point where I've done too much to give up on it and too little to be finished...LOL.

Saturday evening, DD and her family asked us out for dinner to celebrate our 49 years of wedded bliss.

I'll be putting most of my quilting away and getting the suitcases out to start packing. Will most likely be heading up to IN/MI sometime this week.

I planned on getting my daughter's pillow shams done but my girls are out of town for the weekend so I had to entertain my son last night. We started a 1000 piece puzzle and finished it up this morning. We really have no one around here for him to play with and he gets very lonely. Today I will get to sew some. I'm using the extra squares I got while making the Pineapple Blossom to make the shams, not sure if I like it or not. If I can find the left over batiks from the last birthday block I may make a lotto block for March. We had to move all my sewing stuff last weekend because we had church here and now I can't find a thing!

Here in Vancouver, I've pretty much got the whole weekend free to sew (I finally broke down and hired a house cleaning service so that I now have my weekends free). I'm going to finish up a pair of Capri pants I've been working on and then find a new quilt project. I want to make a quilt from 50's & 60's style fabric to keep in our very retro Airstream trailer. I'll fit in a lunch at our local pub with my DH and then there's a hockey game Sunday night (our poor Canucks are fighting for their playoff lives)!!
