Everyone's projects look awesome and those apples look delicious.

I've been in just didn't remember to post yesterday. Spent most of the day finishing the quilting and making the binding for Noah's quilt, which I think I was working on last VQW. Going to be spending the rest of the day sewing down the binding, I like the look of hand stitched, just takes way longer! About 1/2 way around it so should finish it today.

There is both hand and machine quilting on this one, I need to give it to him tomorrow on his birthday. Wish me few distractions with the rest of the day. Had to go to the Guitar shop and the hardware store with the DH this morning. Will squeeze in laundry and checking on the peppers I'm drying. Will post picture of the back when finished.

Thank you. Just looked at the pen and it says "Permawriter II". After I write on the label, I then press the ink as hot as my iron will go, just short of scorching the fabric! That's supposed to set the ink so it won't wash out. Hope so.

Dedemac, so funny that you are giving a star wars quilt for a birthday gift tomorrow. My son in law's birthday is today, and I've sent him a Star Wars quilt that I made. His features storm troopers, his favorites. He hasn't opened it yet because they are having a yard sale today, but any time now I'm expecting the phone call! He's a Star Wars nut.

Some progress for me today. First, the most amazing part - I can see the entire top of my cutting table!! It's been ages since it's been this clean. Not sure how long it will last, but sure feels good right now. Notice how the photo is carefully framed to avoid showing the rest of the room. That pile in the corner of the cutting table is a UFO I need to finish - but it requires the whole design wall, and there are currently 2 other projects hogging that space. That's the next goal for this weekend - clear off the design wall by finishing those 2 tops.

Also finished binding a UFO. I won these blocks in a block of the month draw at guild a year (or 2?) ago. Put them together earlier this year, and now it is finally bound. This will be donated to Victoria's Quilts, once I show it off at guild.

Will have to get in on the next quilting weekend in November. It is almost 5 pm on the 7th and I just saw the notice. I like what is going on

Those Star Wars quilts are very cool Dedmac and Sewbizgirl! Sewbiz- thanks for posting that tute, I'm going to take a look and see if I can get the hang of doing it your way. Both times I tried using the binding strips for QAYG the fronts looked okay, but the backs looked awful.

Kristakatz- I'm jealous that you can see your cutting table, I have two and neither is currently visible (well, bits and pieces of each can be glimpsed through the clutter, but you know what I mean). I like that quilt, nice modern feel with the gray background and those bright colored rectangles floating on it. the scrappy binding is a nice touch too.

Here's a glimpse of the art quilt that I've been working on today. The bottom fabric is one I dyed/stained with alcohol inks. It's been basted to a tear away stabilizer - hence the white basting stitches. The pieces that are tacked to it are batting that I painted with very thin acrylic paint. Right now they're just tacked with a little Elmer's school glue, they will be machine couched or hand stitched down to the fabric (depending on whether they fit under my couching foot)-- and maybe some more will be added. I'm hoping to get most of that done tomorrow morning so I can tear away the stabilizer. Then the whole piece will be sandwiched and quilted and possibly have some bling added to contrast with the dulled batting.

I'm also trying to get enough of my studio cleaned up to add the first 6 days of October to my temperature quilt. and I need to figure out which UFO I am going to finish this month.

Well, everyone certainly has been busy today. Lots of great eye candy. 😍

My class was very enjoyable. I finished 4 blocks and another 8 partial ones.

I had a great day quilting with friends. I finished two more Kids Komforts quilt tops. They were just 6 1/2 inch I Spy squares stitched together. I took the project i was working on last month (Fireworks quilt pattern) but I just wasn't feeling like working on it! Tomorrow I'm headed north to visit some friends so won't be on the computer. I'll check back in Monday night. Hope everyone has a terrific productive Sunday and see everyone next month

I'm working on another bargello. We need a new quilt that will fit our king size bed we just got. Won't have it done before the first snow fall, but I am working on it.
