I'm sorry I missed today too - I posted on another thread about not having any motivation to get started sewing again, and someone mentioned that today was virtual day! I hope there will be more virtual days (in my case I'd need at least once a month of them). Great work by all of those that posted pictures of their work!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]349314[/ATTACH]Well, I was one of those who posted to the other thread. But have been quilting all day and it was so fun. Thank you!!! I finished the "Santa's Galore" - a UFO that has been in the works for 2 years. First time I did a braided border. Love the look. Now it's ready to go to my SIL when we travel to MI in a few weeks.
Also worked on another UFO - had to do some "design changes" since this is old also. But I decided since I was going to be donating it, I should just GET IT DONE. Just the binding left to put on.
All these pictures are wonderful. Lots of new ideas for quilts to come.

I guess I've gotten far enough along now to post. Had a late start today. The swoon block is pieced. I recently traded FQ's for scraps here ion the board and got this awesome piece of black with gold flowers. Had to use it quick! And the DWR is making progress. All of the arcs are pieced, but the fussy hand stitching is taking a while. The third row should be on by bedtime and then only one more row to go. It will be 19" square when complete.

It is almost 9:00 p.m.; but I have finally met my goal for today. I did all of the appliqué and embroidery on my snowman block of the month for July. I didn't realize it would take me so long; but the block looks great. It was fun working with all of you. Thanks!

Such beautiful work from everyone..I am SO looking forward to next month's meeting!! Of course I am open to participate more often since I am out of work on disability..I am working on making each of my grandbabies a quilt, and want to make some Christmas gifts too. I have made quite a few Bow Tucks purses, and am open for more ideas for gifts (HINT)..I will be spending the rest of the evening hand quilting.

I'm ready for this! I can't get started for 2 more hours but here's my plan: I'm in my camper this wk which is what I'm making my scrappy log cabin for. I'm doing QAYG so I brought it with me and tried it on the bed. I realize I need one more row on each side- 12 more blocks. So I started earlier this wk- I have 5 done so far. My goal is to get the other 7 done today. Then I'll just be sandwiching each row & attaching. But at least all blocks will be done! Yay me!! Happy sewing day everyone! I'll post pics later.

Another's suggestion for the mini debacle. I think this is what she suggested. Guess I should've done an EQ quilt first. 2nd image is EQ version of how I sewed it. 3rd is with plain blocks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]349326[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]349327[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]349328[/ATTACH]

that is such a pretty black and gold block. I've made a DWR quilt, it is a lot of work. I can check that off my list of quilts to do cause I don't think I'll do it again! Yours is so cheerful. Great job. Loved seeing everyone's pics. Hopefully I'll be more motivated at the next one

Great work ya'll!! I was hoping to join you but had my 2nd round of this new chemo this week. Been feeling crappy since. I did sit here and cut the rest of the backing squares for my parents 60th Anniversary Quilt and cutting strips for my next Relay for Life quilt. Next year it's going to be in different pinks. The last 2 have been multi colors for different cancers.
