Life is a Journey and so is Quilt Making! What are you sewing and quilting?

I have a quilt in my big floor frame for a charity quilt auction. My quilting friends come and help from time to time on that one. Have two smaller quilt tops to mark and hand quilt for a customer. My next big project is to go through my stash of little scraps and cut them into 5 in. and 2 in. squares and store them that way. I'm tired of boxes of pieces that I rarely do anything with that take up my precious space.

I started a pinwheel quilt in January. It is the pattern that is featured in the McCall Quilting Magazine for January/February 2011. I won't let myself start another project until this is completed, but I already have so many items I want to start. It is really hard to stick to one at a time. Especially when I am so sloooowwww!LOL!

For handwork I'm working on a hexagon art quilt,practicing or at least trying to practice on my new table longarm, and thinking about all the UFO in various stages of completion that are sitting on my cutting table at the moment.

I will be teaching two classes starting in March so I am working on the samples for them. The first is an attic window quilt. I posted a picture of the finished top on the board about a week ago. The second is made up of a block called Arrowhead. It looks complicated but I am making it by sewing two bordered squares and cutting them on the diagonal and sewing it together. So far so good.

I always need to catch up on baby quilts. My daughters are grown, but their friends, and the nieces and nephews all are very productive. Its good to have them in the closet, because we have two acres of grapevines and I don't get to quilt in the summer. I try to throw in a lap quilt every now and again for the ministry, but I also have a queen size for my own bed planned. I like to try a new pattern every time, and sometimes I just wing it by starting with a block in the middle and adding whatever is necessary to make it come out even.

It is fun to learn new techniques, try out new quilt blocks and just play play play!

Also attached is a picture of what my quilt top looks like. It will make a nice charity quilt for Project Linus.
