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

I've been working on trying to learn the Viking Designer 1 that I bought 2nd hand almost 2 years ago & never even turned on till this month. I did some piecing on it last week. Today I grabbed some UFO tablerunners from last year for FMQ practice...not too bad. Just totally different from my Janome 9000, so hopefully by the time I finish the 4th one I will have it mastered on this machine. My Janome 6600 will be coming home next month and then will have to start all over again learning that one. Never thought I'd ever say that UFO's were good to have around! I have more than a dozen quilts needing quilting...will start with the donation ones first. Love my 9000 which I've had for years, just too small in the bed area for the quilts. May post some pics when I get the 4 runners done.

Winnie the Pooh baby quilt, at the moment. It's the first thing I've sewn on the treadle in my avatar... I pieced it on that, but I'm FMQing it on my Bernina Record 830.
Will show the finished quilt in the Pictures thread tomorrow or the next day, after I get it bound and washed.
I have a kid's quilt all sandwiched to quilt, and stacks of fabrics for a few other ideas I have ruminating...

I am working on several UFOs. First a modified Christmas crazy quilt. Have finished 12 blocks so far. Second working on a purple quilt project for a local service organization to be used as a fund raiser for Alzheiner's. Third am working on some embroidery piece that will be made into pillows or wall hangings.

Happy sewing, Janet

working on Trip Around the World - wow - didn't realize so many strips to cut and sew! Already tired of working on it and losing interest. But- seems I always get started on one and then want to start another one before finishing. Still trying to finish some UFO's that need quilting. Short attention span I guess.

working on....phew...have 2 baby quilts to do for one order, 12 baby quilts for another (store). 6 lap quilts for the same store. King size quilts for both my kids for Easter that didn't get done for Christmas. 3 memory quilt orders and my wife has gotten in 8 quilts since Saturday to quilt. Then I do the bindings. Also have my fabric for my OBW and more twisters...and Spring is on the way...TG

I'm doing 2 BOMs at my LQS - one is Eleanor Burns' Underground Railroad, and the other is Nancy Halvorsen's Count On It calendar panels. I need to get the back on a "fast jelly roll" quilt. I just finished a "Pick-a-Pocket" hand bag and am making a small wall hanging for a friend's birthday. And I started cutting the pieces for a quilt for my daughter's wedding in April. That will push the other UFOs aside for a while.
