What's under your needle today?

Done with the top! Someone said the green stars reminded her of a hurricane spinning. The hurricane winds haven't been very strong where I live. The rain is heavy at times but it has been manageable (according to our gutters, LOL)

Working on a FLAG! It's for the marching band's sax section at my DS's university. 2 other sections have a flag, so I offered to make on for the sax section my son is in. They designed it & now I'm frantically appliqueing LOTS of letters down on to some slippery satiny flag fabric. Side one is done and I'm HOPING to finish side 2 tomorrow. While I'm delighted to do this for the group, it a lot more tedious that I expected! But I'll glow with pride at every game I see them waving it at! Pictures soon... I hope!!

Wow Cassandra, that's going to be cool!
Christine, I hope you're staying high and dry.
I'm getting ready to pull out a t-shirt quilt that I started (everything is stabilized and cut out, but nothing put together) several years ago for my cousin. I want to finish it in time for her 75 birthday which is in late October. Still need to decide on the layout and a fabric for in-between the t-shirt blocks and a backing, etc.
Meanwhile, this morning I got some more done on coloring my whole cloth doodle quilt.

I have been working on this quilt for over a year. I used the book Quilting Row by Row by Jeanette White and Erin Hamilton. It has brought me to tears and has been so fun at the same time. I have done all but 2 of the rows in the book. The others I got partially into them and one- had a flood in the basement and lost all the cut pieces. Didn't really like it anyway, and two - the pieces were too little to applique on my machine. I added the summer row myself. It is paper pieced. This is a technique building quilt. Each row has a new technique to learn. Paper piecing, sewing on the bias, 3-D pinwheels, applique and more. Here are the pictures of my rows and the pattern from the book.

LOL my old eyes did not read "sax" section - I will let you figure out what I DID read. At 82 I have been misreading things a lot lately. Maybe new glasses would help or finding the Fountain of Youth. This is in reply to the post of osewfast.
