What have you been sewing on lately?

I've been working on a quilt with way too may bias edges.... driving me crazy, but I am almost done. Also another cute quilt that is super easy, for the times I have to "back away from the biased edge quilt" (and nobody gets hurt...LOL) They easy one uses the City Girl fabric and fee pattern.

I've been working on stuff that I swore I would never do again - sewing clothes! For myself... I'm so tired of 'store bought' that's made cheap, skimpy, ugly, crappy material, icky colors, no choices, everybody-and-their-sister has the same outfit.... you get the idea...
Granted, all the same fabric is out there also but at least not everybody is using the same pattern...
Think about it - unless you shop at a One-of-A-Kind store ($$$$) about 20 gazillion other people are looking at the same things in the "radio ga-ga" stores that you are....
Besides, I got old and fat and I do NOT wear hiphuggers any more - that was in a galaxy far far away (and long ago), I don't show my boobies, or wear skirts up to my 'whatever'....
OTOH I really don't want my grandmother's clothes either...
sigh... so I'm sewing clothes.... gross..

I am making a wallhanging for a friend...my oldest son's mother-in-law. She redid a room for herself, and there is a cute little quilt in the country wall border she used. I was able to get a piece of the border to bring home with me and was able to duplicate it quite nicely. Will post a picture when it is all done. It is waiting for me to quilt it now.

I just finished my Fish purse. Tomorrow I am tearing apart my sewing room to put in a table with three drawers and six cubby holes. And I am going to attach my design board to the wall so it is up and out of the way.

I put two borders on oldest Granddaughter's Cabin at nine patch crossing quilt today and tomorrow I will get it ready to FMG next week after work in the evenings, then off to start the next one, probably a week from today. Thanks for asking.

I'm working on my black and white top right now, got two borders on today, just need the last one and it will be ready to finish up. Next is the back for a class quilt with autumn leaves. After that comes finishing the Christmas top.
