Are you quilting this weekend? Oct. 7-9

9 years ago

I hope to spend some time in my sewing room this weekend. My family was home last weekend but they left on Sat. evening. I was able to sew on Sunday and Monday afternoon. I am working on a Christmas quilt top that was started years ago. I received a kit for twelve star blocks made from Christmas fabric at a gift exchange in my old quilt group. I made the blocks but that was as far as I went with them. I now have the top assembled and just need to add the borders.

Friday is a bittersweet day for me. It is my birthday but it also is the day my mother passed away 12 years ago. We are going to DD's for dinner but I plan to do some sewing too.

What are your plans for the weekend?

I hope you have a good birthday, but know you will be thinking of your Mom.

No sewing for me. We leave in the morning for Utah for "THE" wedding. We will come home on Sunday - then I turn around on Tuesday and go to the quilting retreat. I am furiously trying to get my stuff together to take to North Carolina tonight!

Happy birthday, Linda!

I have a three-day weekend thanks to the hurricane, so I plan to sew today (unless we lose power, of course)! Tomorrow we're meeting a realtor at my Mom's in Lakeland, but I have all day Sunday to sew, too.

So far we've had a LOT of rain and some pretty stiff wind, but it's not too bad.

Happy Birthday, Linda!!! No sewing for me tomorrow.....we have a 40th anniversary surprise party to go to and DGD is picking us up at 9:30 in the morning. YIKES! That's early for me. Sunday I hope to finally complete the UFO I've been working on for a few years.

Probably no sewing until Mon. or Tues. it is our Thanksgiving weekend and so tomorrow will be spent prepping for the turkey dinner on Sunday.

i did get all the blocks finished this week for the Scrap Jar Star quilt and now anxious to set them together. Ran into a slight hiccup in that I ran out of the WOW I was using as the background but I found another piece, a slightly different design, that will work as borders.

Happy Birthday Linda! And a Happy Thanksgiving to you quilters up North!

Its a 3 day weekend for me and I hope to finish the top on the fall quilt my niece requested. I ordered some Moda grunge in cream and wow...love this fabric, it's a beautiful blender. If I finish over the weekend, I'll post a pic.

On the dark side , I need an intervention. I'm falling in love with Liberty fabrics; @ 9.00 for a quarter yd. it's not a fabric I can stash enmasse...I did pick up a quite a few fat 1/8's at half price...a lucky find, but oh dear...I fear I'm hooked...dreaming of patterns ...what should a quilter do? Help :-/ V.

Can't help you, V. lol

I finished the UFO this morning as I wasn't able to attend the anniversary party. DH represented us and had a good time......but he was gone for 8 1/2 hours.

I hope you're feeling OK Sharon. Sorry you had to miss the party.

Those are lovely fabrics, I can see why you're falling.

I plan on putting together the second set of blocks I made a few weeks ago. Hopefully the friend who finished the other quilt will be ready to repeat.

I have spent the day finishing those 9 patches that I wanted to finish for retreat. I have also packed more projects than I will ever do at retreat. :) I cut my charms for Left Right Center and put together my gift for the exchange. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish quilting the top on the frame. Then I will have two to bring to bind at retreat.
