Micro quilting...
I am doing the fillers on a shadow trapunto square. If i get bored I might applique some Dresden plates down. |
I am in the middle of 7 Quilts for Kids quilts. I quilted 3 of them yesterday, have one more to quilt and 3 others that need the borders yet....
Maybe some baby quilts for gifts too. Oh, and my quilting group is doing a half-square triangle exchange with Jewel tone batiks and a light to exchange in July. Need to sew those. |
I'll be working on UFO's, and starting to swap out squares for a swap! Then maybe do some quilting on the long arm~

Beginning a new project this weekend. Washed, dried and pressed all the fabrics for a Crayon Challenge quilt due mid July. Glad I decided to make a trial block because I changed one of the squares by 1/2" and didn't like the way the block looked. Made another block with the squares cut to the size the pattern called for.
After I make a bunch of the blocks in the different colors I'm going to decide how to layout the quilt, been thinking of maybe putting the blocks on point. How come I can never follow a pattern as writen? I always seem to make changes and sometimes they work and other times they don't. |
I'm putting the binding on a baby quilt. Then I need to clean my sewing room. The fuzzies are chasing each other.
|
I am starting my first ever "French Braid". I have all the fabric cut and ready to go. Just need to start sewing. Just need someone to nudge me first.

I'm working on the quilting portion of my DWR quilt.. I just started today and hope to have it finished by the end of the week. I'm going fishing with my oldest son as his Fathers Day outing. I will try to multi-task by getting the pieces cut for my next quilt while the quilting machine is putting the stitches in the DWR.

I had put up an eight ft wire shelf to hold the batting that has been stored under the LA, so today I decided to go through the boxes of stuff that have been sitting in the middle of the floor, organize and store some of it under the LA. I got half-way through and decided I needed a break. So I made a thread catcher/pin cushion. I have part of my flower garden quilt laid out on my cutting board. My design wall has half of a Trip Around the World Bargello in shades of purple that I'm working on. I have another quilt cut out and ready to put together. Right now I'm hungry, because I forgot about lunch! And it's 3:21! Think I'll have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and get back to work.

Recovering from a knee replacement done three weeks ago. It is very hot and humid and I'm getting a lot done in the AC. Started wrapping my fabric on comic book boards two days ago, but went through the first 100 really quick, so had to stop to order 300 more.
Finished a set of pillowcases made from batik fabrics that I love, so I'm keeping them. Working on my HST quilt in black, gray and yellow. I've traced the wording I'm going to applique on the quilt and now need to get my letters cut out and ready to applique. Can't wait to see it done! I really love the colors for summer. They are so cooool. Been a very productive couple of days, now I have to get the leg up because it starts throbbing when it hangs down for too long. |
