Count me in. I love these VQ Weekends! They're so motivating and I get so much done. I'm working on 3 projects right now. I need to finish the quilting on a gift quilt, finish the piano key border on another quilt and fix the points and sandwich a 3rd quilt. I'll post pix later. Sew on!

I hesitate to say I'm in. Every time I do, things happen to keep me from quilting but I'm trying it this weekend. DH is working most of Saturday and Sunday and picked up the taxes this morning. Have a king size top to quilt and queen size top to finish. Want to make the back and binding for the queen size too. Pictures later. Need to get these two quilts done for the cottage. Plan on opening it up just over a week from now.

I'm in! First I have to finish (as much an I can without the last 2 thread colours) a customer quilt on the longarm. Then, I found the extra fabric I needed to finish 3 quilts, so I'll settle down with one or two of them and see how much progress can be made.

I'm glad to say all my UFO's have been finished. Now I'm working on making pillow cases for 2 of those quilts so the recipents will have a way to store them during the summer. Pulled out the leftover strips and scraps to make these pillowcases as they have to be larger than normal as the quilts themselves are over 100" x ??. Then of course I'm working on the next big quilt, going to my BOM class tomorrow plus working on quilts for a set of twins due in early August. Making extra blocks to make the pillows I give to them the following year to match. So guess I have my weekend cut out for me. Already got all the yard work done for the day so I can play.

I'm in. I'm making "Women of the Bible" 108" X 120", for my BFF, hopefully for Christmas. It has 40 10" or 15" blocks and is constructed in 5 sections. I quilt on a DSM so will quilt each section and then put together. Section A has 6 block and 4 connecting blocks. That is quilted. Section B has 11 blocks and 5 connectors. I have 1 1/2 blocks quilted on B. I would like to finish the section, we'll see. I took some pictures to show you, but am having trouble getting them off the camera. I want to quilt now and work on the pictures later. Good luck to all of you in completing your goals or at least get well along your way.

I'm in - I have 2 projects calling for my attention this weekend. I have decided how I am going to quilt my Allietare Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt so it is getting sandwiched.

And as I was sewing rows together on my Cathedral Stars (also Bonnie Hunter design ) I didn't care for the teal I was planning to use for the setting triangles but I found some more of the lighter blue batik and am hoping it comes in tomorrow's mail. The two purpley batiks are the borders. So I have some unstitching to do there.

Tomorrow I am going to a trunk show by Deb Strain at one of my favorite shops - her new bee fabric line is adorable!

I will finish my everlovin' slipcover - so I can move on to
1) creating a fabric wall out of no space - to start, out of a 4' x 4' matboard I will cover with flannel
2) another practice pup potholder (for my SIL as a surprise - she lives 2500 miles away but her pup has his own fb page so luckily I can get pics galore without asking for them) the key word is 'practice'
3) ponder making a Trip Round the World quilt-top out of fabric I was given, since it seems that might be a good start.
Yes, and raise a glass of wine to taxes being done.

If you take part-timers I'll play. My wife and daughter have been out of town for almost two weeks and they are due home tomorrow. Until then I have an I-Spy quilt to quilt and bind, and the center of my 365 challenge quilt to finish. That will catch me up through February. When my girls get home all quilting will come to a screeching halt!
