A mariner's star with braided borders
My Advanced quilting class project. I've fused the appliqué down and we sandwiched and started quilting last night. The fabric is metallic and really "snowy/frosty" but is hard to tell in the picture. Was going to try some silver metallic thread for some of the quilting but it made my machine very unhappy.

Right now I have 2 in the block phase (#1 has finished blocks - need to work on sashing [Eleanor Burns pattern]; the other one is down to the last block and I have figured out a setting for it 2 yr old BOM going to use a Sharyn Craig setting). I also have a lap quilt on my LA ready to quilt. Both are King size, so also trying to figure out a design wall to hold them while running the settings.
In the meantime, I finished the City Sampler blocks for the BOM club I belong to at one of my LQS. I have my son's quilt waiting in the wings to be cut.

I am working on Christmas gift projects: 9 aprons, 6 table toppers, 18 pillowcases, 5 sets of placemats, 18 mug rugs, 3 cookbook covers....... Every project is started but not everyone finished. You can probably tell that I am not a start and finish before going on to the next thing.

I'm quilting two quilts at the moment, Embroidering a set from the Quiltery, making totes and knitting a jumper for a little girl who will be one next winter. I also always have a book on the go. Also as usual spending too much time on the computer. Life's fun, fun, fun.
Not as prolific as some but I'm happy,

I have a king size 10 minute block waiting to be finished, two baby quilts also. Numerous lap quilts and a veggie quilt in progress. My dh said "not to work on too many projects, so I don't get overloaded. So as you can see I don't do one thing at a time. I also am in the middle of embroidery projects when I get some time.

Nope, you are not the only one. Here's what's in my quilting queue:
1. sampler quilt for class in piecing stage
2. baby quilt in cutting stage
3. table runner in Pinterest stage
4. wall hanging in procrastination stage (because it's applique and I don't know what I was thinking or what I'm doing)

I think I am a "mood quiltmaker" because I have to be in the right mood to do things. Last week i was in the mood to use up scraps and i made quilt blocks for 3 twin size quilts to be donated. I organized a lot of my small pieces and plan to do more donation quilts this winter. Tis good to downsize the stash.
