I'm still HQ an UFO, but I have 3 childrens quilt for june to start. have fabrics together and patterns ready. My problem is I LOVE the outdoors when the weather is nice, and in New Orleans it has been absolutely wonderful. So Sat and Sun I worked in my yard all day, cut grass, weeded, mulched the veg beds, planted my veg seeds and watched grandkids. But as far as quilting, well if I would get off this site, I could put a few stitches in.

I have my last class Saturday for my Bali Wedding Star so I am pushing thru homework. It's is mainly in shades of purple but the points will have touches of blue and green. It will be my first paper pieced quilt and dang if its not A LOT of folding and cutting, what was I thinking when I signed up for this one. Oh, yeah, its a beautiful quilt and it will be worth all the cussin, bleeding and burns for it. I should have less burns now with small iron. :-) I love seeing what others are working on :-)

A month ago I bought this panel of fabric with a wine theme. It has squares that look like windows and in each square is some layout of wine bottles, some with glasses, some with grapes. I have been FMQ each square, each bottle, and outlining each. I have to change colors a lot. It has taken a lot of time but I'm almost finished!! I'm making it into a wall hanging and will make a table runner and napkins for our dining room.

I'm working on the farmer's wife quilt paper piecing, copying a simple rail fence quilt I fell in love with at a local quilt show by using the Lil Rascals jelly rolls, a block of the month block from my favorite quilt shop and since my buddy taught me how to crochet - yes, another late in life attempt - I am crocheting a rug with sheets I am tearing up that were purchase at the thrift store. The rug is going to be "shabby chic" by leaving fabric tails hanging out periodicly.

I'm finishing my Japanese Ladies wall hanging for our quilt show May 3rd and 4th in Leesville, La. The border of my wall hanging is a decorative stripe and I have had trouble sewing to get one stripe exactly where I wanted it. Will post picture when it's completed.
