What are your quilting plans for the weekend?
Comments (14)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....See MoreWhat are your plans for the weekend? March 19/20
Comments (11)I own a greenhouse. It's been sunny and I am tweeking that final push on the spring line before they're all benched and ready to grow on and finish off. The sewing room still calls like a siren's song, and I sneak an hour up there each morning with my cuppa so that I don't lose my enthusiasm when something goes into UFO status. I finished my twister baby quilt last weeekend, washed it and hung it on the line to dry and my 'hunter's eyes' caught something bright moving as the breezes wafted the little quilt around. CAN YOU BELIEVE I quilted a pin into the batting? OMGosh...for a baby, none-the-less. So, Since it's near the middle, there is no way I can get to it, to remove it, other than poke a little hole in the back and pull it out, since it has that big, yellow, head on it. Oh bother! Then I get to repair it somehow, prolly with an applique. I hate to do appliques. LOL. What I am working on now, is machine quilting my scrappy quilt. I always use Warm and Natural, but this time, I used the highest loft poly I could get and it's making the blocks puff out like a comforter. I'm loving it. I don't know what the pattern is called, but it's a duplicate of my g'mother's quilt. The closest pattern I can find to it is Blue Ridge Beauty, but it's not exactly the same. The background diamonds are sky blue and blue paisley and the center blocks are four patch scrappies. And I worked in diamonds en pointe in white in the middle of the quilt and all around the borders. I'm liking it, but the quilting is going much slower than I'd anticipated. I've been four days so far and it's about a third done....See MoreWhat are your quilting plans for the weekend? 4/30-5/1
Comments (7)Sounds like there are lots of quilt shows this weekend. Two friends and I went to the Buffalo, NY area yesterday and did a mini shophop. Today we went to a neighboring guild's quilt show. They had over 400 quilts hanging as well as displays of their community outreach projects...very impressive! As well they had over 50 Quilts for Japan that will be taken to Northcott Fabric on Monday to be added to the container to be shipped over in a few days. All in all it has been a very good couple of days. I am going to try to get some projects worked on today but tomorrow I MUST get the taxes ready to mail....deadline is midnight May 2nd! Cheers!

Comments (22)I watered my tomato plants this morning and one of my flower beds. Cleaned the kitchen really well today. Washed all the dishes in the dishwasher. Took a good 2 hour nap then played on the computer. I've taken my shower and am dressed for bed. Will get up and water some more in the morning then to church. We will pick up some fried chicken for lunch. The son is preparing Father's day dinner Sunday at 6:30. I'm really looking forward to his grilling, he is a great cook. I'm taking potato salad and comeback salad dressing. That should about finish the weekend....See More
