Right now I'm working on a crib quilt -- "Lover's Knot" pattern and after that I want to make a tote bag to match the crib quilt. After that, maybe some more table runners and purses. The weekend after this coming one there is a quilt show that I'm planning on attending -- I'm sure I'll get more inspiration there.

I have sooo many projects in the works that I better not add another thing to the pile. Presently, my long term project is finishing up hand quilting a double bed quilt for daughter and husband.(hope to complete this by fall). I also have two wall hangings ready to sandwich/quilt for Christmas, several place mats and table runners started but not completed... not to mention stuff with fabric and patterns ready to go....
Good grief, there is not enough time in the day to get it all done so I better get rolling!

I am quilting a top made from 2 years of birthday swaps from this forum.

I have a few active projects. I'm adding a 2nd border to a twin top, have a wall hanging ready to sandwich, another larger throw ready to go on the quilt frame for practice, and a sweatshirt to sew beads onto.

always busy here!

I just finished a cheaters quilt, I think that's what it's called, for my DGS. I gave it to him for Easter. I finished all my cutting for a crazy eights baby quilt that I'm making for a dear friends first grandchild, due anyday now.

I'm starting to clean my creativity room, so I'm not sure what I'll do next. I really need to dig in again and clear out some art supplies that I've had for a long time. But knowing me I know I'll have something new started soon!

I am putting binding on my last comfort quilt. Hope to have pictures tomorrow. I did find one place I want to add some quilting, so I'll take care of that this evening (if the power stays on).

I just had a birthday and all the birthday blocks have arrived--will be starting a project with them today. Plan to post picture when I'm done. Paula

I'm working on my Applecore. If you ask me again this time next year, the answer will be the same. LOL! Wait and see!

I have 2 comfort quilts that are ready for backing, 2 more comfort quilts that need borders, and my aim for this week is to work on 3 heart blocks for the CHD Quilting Awareness Project in Raina's memory.

I'm going to start picking apart the Mariner's Star block to realign the center point.

I've had the same quilt in my machine with the needle down for over a month now. It's about a third of the way throuogh being machine quilted. I hate the quilt and the back is all puckered. One of these days I will finish it so I can move on to something I like. I refuse to take the quilting out and rebaste it.

Getting ready to head north for the summer. Tough to plan what I'll take along to work on, since I will be living in a 33 foot motor home, not very much room. Of course, the featherweight will be with me, so I can do some small projects. Maybe a couple of Christmas wall hangings.

This weekend I made 5 of the blocks for the Morningstar quilt that will be auctioned off at our 2010 show to benefit our Girl Scout Council. The lap quilt only needs 16 blocks total, so I am well on my way. We want to finish this one well ahead of time.

I want to do some more sashiko when I decide on a pattern.

I'm working on the FMQ of two UFOs, my broken dishes quilt top now that I've selected a design, and a "homework" quilt top from a color value class which is next in line. If I stare at them long enough, a FMQ plan pops into my head. And, in spite of what they try to teach me - you CAN stencil on a FMQ design after you've pin basted a quilt! I have trouble making up my mind so I pin baste it and then do blocks or sashings as the inspiration hits. Lots of coffee helps.

I am working on 2 Dotee dolls and a BOM pattern. It is partly pp so I am looking forward to see how I do with it.

What are Dotee dolls?

I have to sandwich a baby quilt (disappearing 9 patch with some applique) and quilt it. I am currently quilting (by hand) a small bargello quilt, and I am getting close to finishing that. I also have a beautiful top from my birthday blocks last year that I need to get going on sometime.

I need to just finish projects or they will turn into UFOs.
I have one row of handquilting on my Double Delight, 3 small charity quilts to FM quilt. One more Mystery Quilt to finish and then I can start something new or just hang outdoors!

I've actually gotten the borders on that twin quilt today. And have helped DD7 to sew 72 squares into 4-patches. We had to stop there and are now doing schoolwork...she'll have a top done tomorrow probably.

I'm working on a birthday block for June, could have finished it this past weekend, but ran out of thread. So I started cutting out strips of fabric for a quilt I eventually want to make. I fell in love with a quilt that a member of my birthday block swap used for her block. It's called Scot's Plaid and I started collecting plaids. I think I have enough now to start the quilt. I won't be stealing her thunder though, as my quilt is unlikely to be finished anytime soon.

Today after work, I went to the fabric store, purchased thread and fabric for the pieced block lotto. So I'll probably be attempting that block this weekend.

I have planned two other scrap quilts and I have been collecting fabric for those. I like scrap quilts, so I usually buy FQ, quarters, or half yards.

Mostly I am trying to clean my sewing room, but I can't be that close to the machine & not sew, so I'm working on a
Bento Box & another quilt I'm in love with called Sunset something, it's geometric with cheater set in seams & it's
totally cool, I just love the pattern.
I have some hand work going too as I decided that I wanted to set my Piece O' cake block of the month different than they did & it will take 13 blocks instead of twelve.
It will be my outdoor summer project again since I need to
Applique borders too. Jill

started another puzzle lap quilt and have started sewing top. also made binding for a baby comforter and sewed one side on, and made a baby blanket today. between ufo's and projects and then i start a new quilt. keep's me busy

I am waiting on fabric for my scrap quilt boarders which hasn't gotten here yet. I wanted to get that togeather before we start our vacation next week but it doesn't look promising. I have the BD top ready to put togeather but I am putting that off for a while. While I am waiting I am refolding my stash boxes and cutting sqs. for a charm quilt, Up to 470 blocks so far, need about another 100 to start putting them togeather. I also am trying to come up with an idea for the B/W challenge. I would like to make some placemats as well and I am toying with the Cotton Theory idea for those. Jayne

I'm doing the block lotto blocks, and I finished up a lap quilt for my best friend's father - he has a birthday at the end of the month.

My DH had some medical issues today which required us to be in the ER - all resolved, but I'm wiped out. I will get the next two block lotto blocks done, but I need some time with the DH, too.

It didn't help that my only clean pants were brand-new unwashed jeans - so I now have hives on the backs of my knees, LOL. I usually have allergies this time of year, but not severe enough to take meds. But they, plus unwashed denim, and 7 hours in the ER, is making Benadryl my new best friend. I will sleep well tonight.

My long arm quilter is running a 15% off sale for 3 months. That gave me enough incentive to finally complete a bunch of quilts I've had in different states of completeness for awhile.

I finished a neat purple one (I'll post pictures as soon as I get batteries for the camera), a boy block swap and Wizard of Oz.

Still in line--1930 repro blocks, falling leaves, happy scrappy houses and I Spy for the 3rd grand expected in August.

I've vowed not to begin anything else before completing this list.
