MerkleFamily -- what a nice memory for you two and she'll have a fun memento to take home with her! And I love the RWB!

Christine, it is nice of you to share your workspace with you MIL. I’m sure your sewing enthusiasm will motivate her to sew again. I like to pick berries for jam also but they won’t be ripe here in Maine for a few more weeks.

Hopefully I will get back to my IC this weekend. I have one quilt left to fmq and that will give me 2 quilts to bind.

I am off to the races and have just finished my 9th block. I am building as I go so I don't have any 2 scraps next to each other. After I am finished on the computer this morning I will spend the majority of the day working on my blocks. I got off to a bit of a rocky start as I cut my background fabrics wrong. Ugg... Way I see it those pieces just became the newest members of my scrap basket. Will post a pic soon. No better way to spend a rainy day that to quilt!

I finished my Irish Chain. This was a fun project. Unfortunately, it only used up about 1/10th of my already cut 2.5" squares. I was very proud that every piece in this project came from my stash. I did ruler work in the white areas to get in lots of practice with that. It's not perfect, but I'll be proud to turn it in to our Comfort Quilt Project at my guild meeting next week.[ATTACH=CONFIG]613776[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]613777[/ATTACH]

Nice job JudyG. I really like the paw print white on white fabric. Do you remember where you got that from. I would like to get some.

Nice finish, Judy.

Thank you. I believe that fabric.com had that fabric and still may have some.

Your quilt is lovely, JudyG! Great ruler work.
