    Well now let's see..My daughter and I took a class called "Trip for Two to Boston". We made two quilt tops, one for her and one for me. She cut and I sewed. I provided the materials from my stash. They are rainbow colors. When we started some of the other participants rolled their eyes but when we finished there were lots of oohs and aahs. Mine starts with purple in the middle and goes through the rainbow to red on the outside. Hers starts with red in the middle and ends with the purple on the outside. I quilted the center of mine a couple of weeks ago but haven't decided what I want to quilt in the borders so it's a WIP. Also have a couple of windmill wall quilts going, several crumb block projects, 3 pink and green quilt tops made entirely from my stash,and several others I can't think of right now. Also am crocheting a very large tablecloth in pineapple and spider web pattern for my daughter's antique oak round table. I'm always working on "Nebraska" knitted stocking caps for babies at our local hospital.I like having a variety of things to work on so I don't get tired on working on just one.

    I'm cutting 3" strips to make a strip quilt. I've never made one and have seen so many beautiful strip quilts on this board. I have so many black and white scraps from a quilt I made and one that my neighbor made (she gave me her scraps).I'v been drooling over the strip quilts now it's time to get busy making one. When I'm tired of a quilt I'm making I usually make some machine embroidery blocks to have on hand for baby quilts when needed. I usually make one quilt at a time and don't start another until it's finished. I love making scrappy quilts.

    I am working on an appliqued quilt that I will give to my great niece. It will be single bed size. Seeing she is only 1 year old that gives me plenty of time to finish it. It has fabrics that I received when I renewed my subsctiption to a quilting magazine. It has appliqued flowers and hearts on it. I am machine piecing but am hand sewing buttonhole stitch around the flowers and will hand quilt. So far so good.

    Oh my, along with the rest of you, I also have several WIP's.Finally got around to cleaning up sewing room today,and wouldn't you know it, there's a floor!!
    Ok, back to the subject, I found, 3 unfinished table runners, there are two baby boy car quilts ready to be sandwiched and quilted, a half quilted throw for 2nd DD, it's alittle bit of everything, applique, hand quilting, machine quilting and machine piecing. And then there's the half completed cot quilt, and several started queen size pieced tops. Seems like I'll be busy for the next few months.
