@ post #52: love that pattern and "purple" only makes it better!

Christine-

I'm taking a break from a top I have on the long arm. I'd like to get it finished today so I can get the next one loaded!

Slowing down as my hands are cramping..May stop hand quilting and work on scrap organization, or making curtains for my room from the sheet I got at the thrift store yesterday...First a break to catch my breath!!

I got the pieces cut from my strips. I have been sewing other strips and organizing scraps in between so I won't get much done today on my list. Oh, well, at least I am making some progress. These strips were donated so I just sewed them together without resizing so its definitely not perfect but it will be loved by someone.

i sure love my design wall. My next step will be to sew the squares together.

Pretty Red/White/Blue Railfence, rt09!

I finished the quilting on the chicken quilt. Notes to other newbies out there:

• Make sure you COMEPLETELY cut the selvedge off! I've got this ever-so-faint white line down the middle where I had to make the big backing piece.
• Don't lose focus! My line went wonky at one point, and I matched the stitch-line to the wrong "crossed-hatch" on the other end, making me 1 stitch-width off somewhere in the lower right quadrant. Fortunately, it was only one width, and I was able to correct it, but now I have a "curve in the road" down there just off camera. Not a huge biggie, but something for me to remember next time.

Otherwise, I'm pleased with the way it came out. Off to binding!

Hopetoquilt, If you haven't decided yet, I vote for a narrow back border (1" finished) then a piano key with the colors in the quilt.

I am thinking of y'all. I will FMQ two Spicy Spirals and cut out my mystery table runner, but that's about it between church twice and dog walking.

I knew there was a reason to keep all those teenie tiny scraps.

Nice pics everyone. I am having such a bad time with my arthritis of the spine today, that I am having to keep laying down to take the pressure off it. Consequently, I didn't get as much done as I wanted. I got one double slice layer cake all assembled, and started on the other, but am not going to finish it today. Will work on embroideries during the week. I am done for the day.

I managed to piece together 1/3 of my top today, and the remaining rows are sown together in sets of 2. I'll continue to work on this tomorrow and Tuesday evening, and then it will be ready to work on the borders! *cheers*

So I'm quilting today too! Yesterday was too much thinking for me. I had 3 choices and then my DS says "don't forget my t-shirt quilt!" Well he has some work to do if he wants that! So my choices were Jelly Roll Race (by myself), a Snowball Charm wall hang or my next big one which is Brioche & Baguette.

Started the snowball! Just taking a break from pinning to do some reading on the boards!

Happy sewing to all
