    Today I will be working on finishing a quilt for my great nephew, a waist apron for me, a table runner that needs a new binding, a 4 year overdue friendship quilt for a good friend, and hopefully start measuring many quilt tops I've done over the years to determine backing sizes so I can finish them........Looking forward to seeing alot of pics on here, so get your cameras out. Happy quilting y'all.

    I bought a pile of fabric at the Goodwill outlet. Quite a few blocks were cut (6 inch squares) So I've been cutting up small pieces into squares to make just a simple 9 patch. I have over 200 now. The grandkids came over and DGD saw the pile and asked if she could piece it. She has 4 younger siblings including an almost 1 year old - so for her to cut it out is a real mess. I'm thinking about letting her do the quilt. It will be just odd kinds of scrap material. Half of the blocks were already cut out so I just cut more the same. I think I'm going to give her enough to do 2 or 3 quilt squares every time I see her - that way if the little guys get into them it won't be a huge loss... Then maybe we can cut the blocks into DP3 if she is willing.

    Been getting house in order and all the laundry done so I can spend the next few days finishing my DGD Mary's quilt. Also need to run off a few dolly quilts for my next Guild meeting. Now I have to hope Hurricane Sandys doesn't ruin my plans buy knocking the power out. May in Jersey

    I want to quilt a customers quilt on my LA but I am afraid to plug her in because of the high wind gusts that may cause power surges. Makes me cranky. I live on the coast of Va. and we are holding our breaths.

    I won't be working on anything for myself. I am longarming customer quilts for Christmas. They are always so fun, because you know you are working on an amazing gift that someone special will be getting on Christmas Day! Makes working those long hours worth it!

    Handquilting the queen-sized red block of the month while waiting for daughter's dance class to end.
    Keeps me sane to be sewing and talking and waiting waiting waiting.
