I had kids come in for Thanksgiving so I had to put all my things away. I have a noce space in my 14 by 20 room but it also serves as a guest room and when more than one bunch comes we have to set up extra beds or air mattresses. Over the fourth we had one bed and 3 full size air mattresses in there but it is worth it to see my kids and grandkids. I can sew anytime.

But I will sew the top up on the quilt today and start quilting.

You must be a speed cutter and stitcher to get that much done. I can't even come close. It has taken me 2 days to make 2 6" by 22" wall hangings and I still have do bind them. Of course I am old and can't work straight through. Besides I was getting turkey bones ready for soup tomorrow.

Oh man talk about a day...........I finally finished painting the Pink Singer and the stitch length regulator plate was a BEAR!!! But it is done and Monday it will be together and shipped so a little girl will have her a pretty to open Christmas morning!! :-D :-D :-D
But I did go to Hancocks and get the backing material and batting for the quilt because I thought I wanted to go with something different but changed my mind mid stream. I did get one of the blocks put together to see how much it will be involved and this is going to be a project!! But I should be able to work on it all day tomorrow uninterrupted so I should get a lot done on it.

"Yes Please Billy". We all want to see the pink Singer.
And Yes, we are all waiting to see the lap quilt you are making for your wife. You sound like a very capable and caring husband.
Thank you for showing us your work, good on you.
