Virtual Quilting Weekend--February 14-17, 2020

I have not been able to update any photos since they changed the platform...I’m sure your block is wonderful!
I didn’t get to spend any time in my sewing room yesterday but I did go out to the stables in 18 degree weather to brush down and love on a couple of horses. I will finish hand sewing a binding on my Long Time Gone quilt today.

I haven't achieved as much as I hoped I would. I have however completed a good number of 9 patches for the batik 2/1/2" strip quilt I am making from the 2 1/2" strips I got in a guild swap. I have the center of the quilt put together and cut the first 6 1/2" borders and working on the double row of 9 patches that will surround that border. The plan is to keep working on this one over the next several weeks and be ready by the next VQW to get it finished. I am still searching the the UFO of my goddaughter's quilt that I have somewhere misplaced. This continues to be one of the most difficult quilts for me. The top is done and ready for quilting it is the back that is giving me the problem.. There is always something to be doing on our Virtual Weekends.

I completed the binding on my red & pink quilt!. I'm excited about that. It took this VQW to inspire me to get it finished. That will probably be the last major project before I move in less than 7 weeks.

I finally got some time quilting. This weekend has been bananas!
I pressed seams on a project Linus quilt and then started my very first personal attempt at a quilt. Everything I have done up until now has been for Project Linus using donated materials to our group.
I cut strips and pieces for sashing and got all rows pieced and rows pressed.
I have the same username on Instagram where I post pics. I was having upload trouble from my phone to this site, so will have to try from my Chromebook later.

I spent the weekend finishing this project for Rhonda's Wall Hanging Swap, due up at the end of the month.

thank you all for posting pictures (you obviously are smarter than I am cause I can't seem to accomplish that since the updated site). I really did need to see some pretty quilts--besides finding out that our DGS's adoption was delayed on Friday, I pulled a muscle in my back helping load stuff into the truck to take to my son's family; and then Sat. morning when we got up intending to hop in the truck and drive 4 hrs to our son's, our one very old (almost 15ys) large dog, who has been becoming more and more distressed and anxious, had a major slide. So instead of heading to our son's, we took her to the vet, who basically coached us through the process of letting go. Then to son's. But a Very long day yesterday! Did have a great time with the kids and son/DIL though.

I'm finally back to a project I started a few weeks ago. It's a Keepsake kit I'd bought over a year ago. I think this is the first quilt I'm doing where I'm not in love with the fabrics (they looked better in the catalog), but it kept mocking me from the fabric closet...
My main goal to get it done is that I have finally decided to get a long arm (gently used, pick it up next month) so I don't have to baste the quilt sandwiches anymore, and I need some to get some quilt tops done so it doesn't get a chance to turn into a long-term clothes rack the day we get it set up (like most exercise equipment does)

That Friendship Star Wreath sure is pretty, Ube!
I got a top sandwiched and stipple quilted this weekend. It's for a friend in my quilting group. She will put on the binding. Then I finished another 2 for an older lady in our group who can no longer quilt, but she loves to piece tops! We can hardly keep up with her.
I also finished this blankie for my Granddaughter Millie. Her first birthday is coming up this Friday, so I'll have this plus other goodies for her gift.

I was finally able to do some work in the studio today. I had my two grands this weekend for a "sleepover", ages 3 and almost 2. Had a blast. Also visited my 94 year old DGF, he still lives in his own home after being widowed after we lost my gram about 5 years ago. I did work on cutting some baby bibs out today, and did get some 2.5 inch strips cut for jelly roll table runners and pillow borders. No time at the machine, but prepping for projects was enough to make me happy, along with seeing my grands and DGF.
