Making a bunch of 'Just One Star' blocks to make a QOV. I made twelve thinking that would do it but it looks like I need 3 more (I'm going to set them on point) in order to make it the right size to be eligible.

I haven't anything to quilt right now, so I have been making skirts for my pocket books.

I am finishing a memory quilt -in memoriam of my dad. He passed about 10 years ago but I finally decided to make a quilt and give it to my sister as they were really close. I used ties, some of his and I had to get more, and printed photos and letters onto fabric sheets. I made a bow tie quilt with fabric blocks interspersed. Now I am stitching it all together.

What are you going to do with this awesome rose?

Well, LA's Awsome Degreaser was what finally took the ick off of the machine. I don't know what do with the quilt. I might just pass it on to be part of a charity quilt. Too many errors to put it in a show quilt.

Working on my Judy Niemeyer Glacier Star-last set of classes for it this coming weekend-will have enough done to construct the top with the extensions. Then comes the big decision-how to quilt it!!

I have a queen-size Carpenter's Star in the LA, and a baby quilt on the Janome...and two UFO's I need to get on! And what did I do this weekend? Shopped!

I am trying to get a full size quilt quilted that I have been working
on for a few years. I am on the border so I hope it won't be long
now. Then I can post a picture.

I cut up all of my scraps into squares and rectangles over the last couple of weeks, so today, I've been working on a scrappy garden brick wall quilt top and a Christmas ornament that I saw on-line.
