Are you quilting this weekend? August 19-21

7 years ago

I finally put something on the quilt frame this week. I have 8 place mats to quilt. I loaded a large piece of backing on the frame and am adding the mats as I quilt them. I have 2 finished at this time. I want to work on them later today, when I am finished doing laundry.

Are you sewing or quilting this weekend?

Working on the same pattern you just finished, Lois. I also just finished cleaning my room after the slipcover project. What a mess it was. Oh, by the way, since I broke my old rule of not having more than one project awhile back, I've now got 2 tops done and am working on a third, I don't like this trend at all and I'm blaming all of you UFO enablers.

We have something every night this weekend, but I am hoping to at least CLEAN my sewing room! It is such a mess, not sure I can find the machine to even get started. I still have some landscape De-Construction to do before our porch remodel begins next week so I hope it doesn't rain!

I finished the baby quilt I posted this morning, and I've been working a good part of the day on my Antique Star quilt. All the Ohio Star blocks are sashed and sewn together. I just have the corner setting triangles and the border to go. Maybe I'll even get that done this week. Then I can sew the backing together and get the quilt off to my longarmer. Then I can start working on piecing the four other quilts that I took to Hawaii to work on last winter, and didn't. Plus, I've got two tops that need quilting. Where does the time go? I swear I got more quilting done when I was working full time.

Jennifer can't wait to see your quilt. We have gotten rain 5 evenings in a row this week. As a result of all that rain my pink dinnerplate hibiscus has a couple of large seed pods forming, so hoping in the near future that I will be able to collect seeds off of it. I am thinking about WS some ROS this winter for my brother and neighbor and may do some for me to keep as well. Well yesterday was day 2 of school shopping, and still have one more day of shopping to do. My child hates to try on shoes and clothes so we break it into multiple afternoons of shopping. M-I-L is back home and she is more stubborn than my son so it helps to have her with me when we do school shopping. I am making good progress on Christy's grandbaby quilt. Only have 6 granny square blocks left to hand-quilt on her quilt; really hoping to have the hand-quilting done by the end of July. It is miserably hot here, but we always in months of July and August have temps in high 90's to triple digits and usually we have no rain during these months, but am so thankful for the 5 evenings of rain we have had this week. We have the AC set on 72*F but parts of the house we are having to run ceiling fans in and keeping most of the lights off in the house to keep things cooler. I am so ready for cooler fall weather, September is usually a month of shorts and flip flops here, but usually October starts to cool down a little. There is stuff I want to do in my flower garden, but it will have to wait until October/November when it starts to cool off. We had a good visit with S-I-L and her family earlier today and this afternoon DH and DS and M-I-L and F-I-L are off to visit my other S-I-L and her kids and grandkids. I stayed home so I could finish washing sheets and get the beds remade and to work some on Christy's quilt. A nice quiet afternoon to sit and quilt. :-) Best to you, Sandra

Jump out and bite you? Love it! Linda, get well soon. Donna, happy birthday, and make sure you sit in the dry part of the seats when you go to Sea World. The whales spit at you...lol! I learned the hard, but fun, way! Lois, have fun at your reunion! It's always good to reconnect. Sandra, enjoy your weekend. Tonight I finished 2 blocks for the birthday exchange and will be mailing them out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get in more quilting this weekend, but we'll see how it goes. My only real wish for this weekend is that the plumbing doesn't leak again (and it better not, by golly, what with everything I did to it last weekend!) and the cats don't get into the walls again (had to rescue Bump when he decided to check out the construction last Sunday). Now, if we could just get some big ol' thunderstorms on Sunday, I'd be pleased as punch! (where did that saying come from?) Have a happy, safe, sane weekend everyone! Dan

LindaOH - I hope everything goes well on the sale of your house. It can be frustrating, I am sure! Lois - how exciting to spend 3 months in Hawaii. Do you have family there? Toolgranny - I hope they pass you over quickly so you can get back to your quilting stuff! :) Sounds like everyone has lots of fun stuff planned! My sister & husband arrived here Thursday and will be leaving in the morning. I will pick up the 18 vest & 6 aprons I sewed for our Lions club from the silkscreener, so I just need to add the Lions club patches to the vests. Then I hope to get a little bit of quilting in. I actually started piecing something for the retreat challenge - we will see how it goes and if it gets finished. I have a pile on the floor of things that I am getting together to take to the retreat. We leave here a week from tomorrow so I have a lot to finish! Sue

Sue, it must be great to be home! I love to travel, but don’t know if I would like to be gone for months at a time. Fran, have a safe trip home! I’ve had a very productive weekend! Yesterday I finished my quilt top, and DH and I dug everything out of our front flowerbed. We have a friend who is a landscaping genius coming next weekend to help us spruce up the front of the house. To give y’all an idea of how much we aren’t gardeners...we had four straggly azalea bushes in the flowerbed. We thought one of them had actually had a growth spurt and gotten about 8’ tall. Yesterday we discovered it was really an oak tree that had been there long enough to get that tall and have a trunk about 3” in diameter! LOL Today I made two blocks for the BOM and a new bed skirt for our room. Now I’m taking it easy. :) Donna

I hope to finish quilting a quilt that is on the frame and maybe start binding it. Other than that, we have my husband's work picnic today. Not looking forward to the weather. It is supposed to storm and be hot.

I have the Frozen panel quilt top completed so need to search to see if I have something suitable for backing or........maybe I'll just make a trip to the store to see what I can see. Yes, I think that's what I will do.....tomorrow. :-) Today I should decide what WIP to work on next.

Yesterday was my parent's 63rd anniversary, and oldest DDs 33rd birthday. Today we had a combined party and are all sitting around like fat little ticks. I have one in the frame I hope to get started on this weekend, and I also have a stack of fabric that needs to be folded and put away. If I can make it down the stairs this evening I'll work on that.

We were in Washington, DC visiting my sister for the weekend, so no sewing! We had a great time.
