What beautiful quilts. Sorry I wigged out on you guys, son showed up yesterday afternoon, announcing that he got a deer this morning, can he use our kitchen facilities, of course, I said that was fine. He showed up at nine this morning, and we finally finished everything by six thirty tonight(140 lbs dressed). We have my little freezer half full: ribs, tenderloin, back strap, hamburger, top round roasts, bottom round roasts, sausage(not in freezer, still curing in frig), jerky marinating, and 6 gallons of venison broth. Oh yeah, and tri tip. So I ended up not quilting.

I ended up helping one lady on Friday morning sandwich her quilt and showed her how to quilt it. Then, came home to fix lunch/dinner. Then, after that was over, I went back to another lady and showed her how to make the professional tote, lesson 1. So, I didn't get to my own sewing til the evening. I finished two of the charity quilts I posted.

Then I worked on some patriotic 9 patch blocks and put them into strips. Will end up finishing up a patriotic quilt for the back of my couch. (I never get in the mood in time for the Fourth of July to actually finish anything.)

And now, I'm working on clearing out a few more of my 9 patch blocks, so I made about 30 more on Saturday. I showed the lady I helped on Friday, how to make a binding on her quilt, which then took most of the rest of Sunday.

wow, there's a lot of beautiful sewing been going on.
I did get a top finished, not one I intended, but as I had bought a freece blanket on friday, I decided this one had priority. I had bought some rib cord (corduroy??) some years (!) ago, so it was about time LOL.
So it'll nog be a real quilt, as it's just the top and the blanket :-)
Here are two pictures of the top (Amy, my French bulldog, is like cats, always has to be on the quilt or fabric LOL).
I loved sewing 'together' although I was without internet part of the weekend and had some unexpected guest. Thanks for organising this.

Didn't get near as much done as planned. Car died at grocery store, had to have it towed (flatbedded) home. Got some sewing done Sat. SIL came over Sat. night to fix the car. Normally I'm in bed by 9 on Sat. 'cause I have to be at work at 6 Sun a.m. but didn't get to bed 'til after 10. I'd just gotten home from work Sun. when power went out for about an hour, so took a nap 'cause I was tired from not enough sleep Sat night. Then Internet was out because of the power outage & I didn't know how to fix it. But I finished all the blocks and sewed the top 2 rows together. This a.m. I found out what to do to get the Internet back, but also found out no one could call me--all they got was static. I'm been having phone problems since I moved here 3 weeks ago. Talked to ATT AGAIN--a tech will be out sometime before 7PM tonight. I'm not working today so am going upstairs to sew. If all goes as planned, I'll post a picture of the top tonight. Hopefully all the glitches I had this weekend are over and done with by now!

Well, I finally have a phone that works and I can receive calls. Yeah! It seems all the glitches I had over the weekend are finally ending. I finished sewing the quilt top today. [ATTACH=CONFIG]439428[/ATTACH]Now I need to graph out the back. The back of the T-shirt has a listing of all the players on the team that I want to use on the back, along with a couple of extra blocks. So now to graph paper and pencil to design the layout of the backing. Hopefully, that will happen tomorrow.

I love Virtual Quilt Weekends! I think these are my favorite thing on the board. I didn't get to participate in this one, as hubby was in the hospital, but I love seeing what everyone else is working on.
