Weekend quilting plans? 6/18-6/19

12 years ago

Wow, I beat Linda OH to the weekend question! :) What's everyone up to this weekend?

Tomorrow we're going over to Lakeland to visit parents. I have one more Ode to Blue & Grey block to get caught up, so hopefully I can get that done Sunday afternoon. I want to make a few more minis for the AAQI, then I have 4 more little tops to quilt for my guild's charity. That will keep me busy for a while! LOL Plus I'll be working on Mark's BD quilt whenever he's not around to catch me. I'm off the week of July 4 so I should be able to make good progress on his quilt that week.

I'm going to work on quilting my circle quilt. I had planned to give this quilt as a Christmas gift last year but I was only done with the top. So I showed the quilt top and then took it back to quilt it. I made significant progress early in the year and then hit a mental block on how to finish quilting it. Last night I finally made a decision and I'd love to finish it or come close in the next weekend or two!

Go Lola, go Lola! You'll be so proud of yourself when you finish quilting! I'm glad you are over your block...that's really frustrating.

Mary - what an awful week for you both. It is a good thing you were there. I break down afterwards - I know how terrible you feel. If you are able to sleep - I find that is the best medicine for me. Sleep and sew something easy at first, then make something you really need to focus and think about-to get your mind occupied about something else. Listen to me - lol- 3 months after my DH cheated death for the second time, and I still can't sleep thru the night. Quilting this weekend-I am trying to work on my Veggie Jar Quilt - I have the rows of jars completed, now I need to decide how to make them the same width - they are close - but not the same. I really wanted the top done this week. Company tomorrow - I really should clean my house some.

I may get into the sewing room for a bit tomorrow. I'll post a pic of the lap quilt I finished in the nick of time last weekend. I'm still quilting one of the Lotto winnings wall hanging. I know it's been forever since I received the blocks. I decided to stipple, something I've never done, with matching thread color in the blocks, so it is start and stop to change the thread. Freezing cold here also, but drove an hour (in unexpected almost white out conditions) to see the traveling display of the Downtown Abbey clothes. Then had lunch at the Studebaker mansion next door. It was a lovely day.

Although I've thought about giving a guild a try I'm then reminded that one is supposed to PARTICIPATE! LOL! I would love to have some sewing friends just to hand out with and sew but then I would have to go along with all the projects and I'm not wanting to do anything except what I want to do. So I don't think they would want a big baby like me around. Donna, glad you were able to be around with the water heater going out to shut it down. About a month ago I had the TV on in the sewing room and went out briefly to fix a sandwich. All of a sudden I heard this loud whistling sound coming from there and went in and the picture was out and there was a horrible burning smell coming from the TV. I quickly unplugged it. Something in it fried. Don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been aware of something going on. DH looked at the back of the TV, the manufacturing date was 1998. That's pretty old. I bet the new ones wouldn't go that long. I might do some sewing, I've been having to do some un-sewing on this one because I've been watching the Tudors on Netflix at the same time and not focusing, I had to re-do 3 blocks because I forgot to put in some flying geese units in the middle of the blocks. On the third one I looked at it on the design board after pressing it and said "$&@* - I'm going to have to re-do this" and then noticed there were 2 more the same. I really cussed then.

I'm feel so bad for you, nannkins. Both daughters are now in town and we are celebrating our Christmas this weekend. Went out last night for a delicious dinner, planned to open gifts afterwards, but DS had to work at home with a work emergency. Planning on opening gifts as soon as everyone gets back from church and hotel. Then hurry and get ready for rest of family coming at 3 pm, count down to 17 from 30 due to various upper respiratory infections. No quilting, in withdrawal. :(

Am working on a sailboat applique baby quilt this weekend. And have started a crocheted afgan this afternoon. Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are in drought and desperately need some rain.

Best to you,

DS is on his way to town so will take he & girlfriend out to dinner when they get here. Packing the motorhome tomorrow for a week in the Mesa Verde/Four Corners area - leaving Sunday. I will try to work on hand quilting an queensize UFO (10+ years!!!) in between packing ... too big to take along. I have a small baby quilt to hand quilt for the trip. I am trying to decide on fabrics for another baby quilt for a July 10 shower (guess I'd better get busy!)

Sandra 'd love to send you some rain:) We have't had TOO much, but could certainly share!

I had hoped to sew all day today & get caught up w/blocks for another swap I'm doing, plus get block #3 for the June lotto done. Alas!, DGS#2 spent the night last night (which is why I'm online now! at 4:30am lol) He will be here all day today while DGS#1 is in a soccer tournament out of town. He will entertain himself part of the time, so I'll be able to quilt a little, just not the marathon I had hoped for! :) Oh well, time w/them at this age is short, I'll enjoy it while I have it!! (I have learned a few things over the years, TH!!)

I'm making a June/July lotto block, now that Michelle has kindly taken over moderating! Plus grooming our dogs, cleaning the oven and other not so fun stuff.

I guess you can tell I have company coming in about a week!

I am in Ellicottville, NY for the weekend without a sewing machine and I didn't bring any handwork either. I did however go shopping in Amish country of Western NY. I bought 108" wide backing fabric for 5.25 a yard and 45" quilting cottons for 2.99 a yard! I will have to wash everything because their shops are on their farms. I wish I had bought more. I hope to get a couple of blocks made when I get home tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone

Thanks for the encouragement Donna. I did quilt quite a bit on Saturday, but unfortunately, I think I underestimated how long this is going to take me - definitely more than one or two weekends. Oh well, if I keep at it, eventually I'll finish, and then I'll post a picture.

Sunday I spent some time pawing through my stash for batiks for a new quilt. A friend wants me to make her other daughter a quilt - after I made DD#1 a quilt a number of years ago. Evidently DD#2 has been pestering her mom for "her" quilt! I think I have enough batiks for the blocks, but will need to get a background. I don't want to use WOW or white muslin - I think I want a light batik. I will be doing another Nickel Quilt from the newest book.
