Are you quilting this weekend? June 23-25

6 years ago

Good Morning Quilters! I haven't had time to sew much since last weekend. I have been putting IKEA things together instead. I bought a cart with large basket drawers for my scraps. I plan to make more Bonnie Hunter quilts and have organized my scraps by color. They are now stored in the new cart. The cart is sitting at the end of my pressing table. The top holds my iron, spray starch, etc. giving me more pressing surface on my ironing table.

I am also getting ready for a Bonnie Hunter class next week. I need to get my traveling machine out and make sure I have everything I need. I haven't used it for a couple of years.

If I have time, I want to cut out new quilts for the grand daughters. I can't wait to play with the new bright fabrics I bought for their quilts.

Are you sewing or quilting this weekend?

If I can get the vacuuming done this morning, I hope to quilt a sandwiched top later today. I finished one yesterday, so there are no more in the UFO pile.

I have plans for the next three quilts I want to do. I want to make the big bed quilts for two GGDs. One is 4, the other is 4 months. Is this forward planning or not? I have most of the fabric but am looking for a small floral. Our LQS doesn't go in that direction, lots of batiks, so I may have to take a trip out of town for that. The third quilt is for GS6 and his university apt. I do have all of that fabric and the pattern is Labyrinth by Debbie Mady. Have read the instructions several times just to get them clear in my head before I take rotary cutter in hand. That one I can start next week. Wish me luck!

Tomorrow afternoon we are going to see DFIL for a belated Father's Day visit. Sunday I hope to load my En Provence on the frame and get it quilted. I was going to do it last Sunday, but by the time I finished things I really needed to do on Sunday I didn't feel like it. :)

DH is supposed to be installing our new dishwasher Sunday afternoon, so that may put an end to my quilting plans.

Glad you made it home safely, Sandra... adventures like that make good stories to chuckle about in the distant future... I've been working on my puff quilt all week (thanks Calliope for inspiring me to continue last weekend!)... I even brought my machine to my overnight job and sewed in the break room! I will work on it more on Sunday unless I'm out looking at cars... my transmission is about to die (after just getting the a/c fixed 2 days ago... argh!) and I'm trying to decide whether to look at another car or fix this one... so I need to start shopping around. I told my Bernina that I might have to sell her if I have to buy a new transmission... she's sucked in her gut and is standing at attention, trying not to breathe too loudly or be noticed at all... and she certainly isn't skipping stitches or giving any error messages, she's too nervous to misbehave... I looked at her earlier and she was sitting in a puddle of freshly excreted sewing machine oil, feed dogs chattering away with anxiety... Poor girl... OK, seriously, though, I did sew today... I made one of those fabric tubes to put plastic shopping bags in as I was sick of them always being all over the place.. it was fun to sew something I could actually use! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Linda, congrats on finding a house and getting yours on the market. Busy times. I envy your proximity to your grands. Everyone here sounds busy. And why are all the AC units going on the fritz? Ours on our boat can't begin to keep up with this heat - and of course we have no shade. Came back to boat last evening and it was 87 in our main salon. So I've been going over to my moms house to sew in her guest room. Spent a few hours yesterday cutting and bagging up the fabrics for Carol Doak's Mariners Compass Star blocks. I've got less than half done on that. Today I'll go back there and try to find bottom on one of my bins of stuff, to find a whole cloth quilt that is already marked and ready to go. I'm going to machine quilt it for a friends baby shower. Left it to the last minute... If I get that done and still have time energy I'll get a couple of bird houses done. They are so cute. VF, what a nice vase & flower for your friend. Our house is within 2-3 weeks of being finished. I can't wait to move into my own sewing room! Then I swear I'm going to be making draperies for months. Friday I went to a workshop on crazy quilting. The project was a needlebook. I Love mine. It's the best project I think I've done in a workshop. Have lots of hand embellishment left to do, then assemble it. I used silk dupioni's in yellows oranges and reds. Marjorie

Once again, I have fall fabric out. (I'm really tired of this fabric in my stash!!) Last Thanksgiving I bought salt and pepper Pilgrims for my nieces and still have to mail them. I was thinking about packing them up and realized that maybe a fall (reversing to Christmas) table runner would be good packing material! soooo...I have two runners all cut and ready to sew. I'm going to use that quilt-as-you-go method again. We have 3 grandkids spending the weekend, too, so we shall see how much sewing gets done!! Oh! and I also tried that 'candy corn' topper pattern using Christmas fabric...very easy and fun!

Theresa, that's so sweet! Thanks for sharing. Good job, Glass! Glad you got done in time. We spent the weekend working on the baseboards. We also pulled up a large section of the flooring in the master bedroom to fix a gap issue. The master bedroom is DONE! The guest room is done except for the little bracket that holds the bifold doors closed. The sewing room bifold doors are painted and ready to install. We still have two more bifold doors to paint and baseboard to install in the living room, dining room and kitchen, and some trim to install along doorways. Our goal is to be done by the end of June. Then maybe I can get back to sewing! Donna

I just sent 3 small quilts for wheelchair use and 2 tops, so I want to clean things up a bit and maybe think about what I need to do for travel plans next month. I might sew some rows together on my Flamingo top so it won't have to hang on the board while I'm gone.

I hope to get some quilting done this weekend. We have company coming tomorrow evening and Monday evening, but I can probably squeeze some quilting time in. I'm making more of the chunky churn dash blocks for my BH scrap quilt and am still half-way through quilting my OBW. I had a colonoscopy this morning, so you all know how I spent my Thursday evening and Friday morning. I'm going to get a bit done this evening yet though.
