    am late to the game have had a busy week end. Not really sewing. Recovering dining room chairs. Bought fabric yesterday, and it's all cotton. Will Rotary cut, but staple, staple, staple. Can that count?

    here are some more wobbly pictures.

    This is a spanish bond brick layers pattern. It is a raggedy brick technique and needless to say this is the back because the front isn't cut yet and looks way wonky.

I plan on using some of my stash to make a couple of fall table runners, but since we will be checking out the local quilt shop, who knows what else I might find to work on!
    Here are the fabrics I'll be using:

    Carol, I know the feeling. I retired in '98 and I still miss the rush of the August preparations for a fresh classroom and new students. This may be the first year I have NOT bought any school supplies. Someone posted earlier how there are good buys for the quilters in the school supplies aisles. I have repurposed a lot of things from my classroom into my sewing room.

    I like that pattern, tkhooper.

    Well got a little more cut and now I'm off for a nap and then to finish the current 24 nine patches for the blooming nine patch. So much to do so little time. I'm so glad we have the virtual weekend together. It is keeping me motivated.

    Thank you sewbizgirl. It is one of 16 patterns I want to complete with a raggedy brick technique. The first was the standard staggered rows. And the next is the herringbone. That is unless I decide it is time to do something simple.

    I can't play this weekend. Tomorrow I leave for a 2-week family visit in Germany so no quilting time for me. (Already feeling the withdrawal.) Love to see what everyone else is working on.

    Yay, I get to join. I finished this top before, but today I'm finishing the back so I can get it on the quilting frame. It finished out at 99X102

    Good work everyone! I am sewing in fits and starts, yesterday it was 3 o'clock before I even walked into the sewing room but I did manage to finish my Stitch n Fold wreath.
    The burgundy fabric is a vintage piece I found at a flea market. I used Peltex instead of the Bosal In R Form and it is very stiff, but I didn't have any problems stitching on it.
