Are you quilting this weekend? Sept. 29-Oct.1

Good Morning Quilters! It is a beautiful sunny day here in central Ohio. It's hard for me to believe that September is almost gone!

This past week I have been working on blocks for an exchange at my quilt guild. I signed up to make the letter W. The blocks aren't due until February but I have mine finished. I like to chain piece so I cut and sewed all of them at the same time. That works better for me than doing a few at a time. So far 23 people have signed up for letters. That means we have to make the other 3 letters to complete our own alphabet. This is a link to the pattern.

DD signed up for a snowflake block exchange but ask me to make half of them. We only have to make 12 total. I plan to make mine this weekend.

Are you sewing or quilting this weekend?

    Tomorrow we're going to visit the parents, but hopefully I'll feel motivated to sew on Sunday. I've been a total lazy lima bean this week.

    Sorry about the link not working. I have tried to fix it but it isn't working.

    I am going to try to put together projects that I am taking to retreat. I do not want to wait until the last minute because work has been crazy. If I can get that done, I will feel like I accomplished a bunch.

    I may actually try to piece a bit this weekend. I think I may have enough bend in my right knee to be able to use the foot pedal. I chose some fabric for the October and November lotto blocks, so that would seem a good little project to start on.

    I've been quilting DDs quilt all week and will continue with that, as well as pay a visit to my LQS for Lotto fabric. Should get out an do some fall cleanup in the garden, but don't really feel like it.

    Squaring up units and hoping to get a few more blocks made.

    Well I just finished the Twinkling Stars quilt from MSQ but I'm having a problem uploading the photo, I'll try again later.

    Really pretty, Rita. I love blue, green and purple scraps.

    I went back and counted how many of Jenny Doan's quilts I've made and I counted six. Not counting the cat pillow I made. Almost every week when I look at her tutorials I wind up saying to myself "Oh, I want to make that one!"

    Ditto what Lois said. Really really pretty!

    I love it, Rita! I am not familiar with Jenny Doan. Guess I'll have to Google her.

    That's lovely, Rita. I can't see clearly from the pic but the border seems to pick up colors from the blocks. I love Jenny Doan patterns too. I met her at the Houston quilt market last year and it was like meeting a celebrity.

    Lois, I'm glad you are on the mend and ready to sew.

    Donna, look up Missouri star quilt company on YouTube. Jenny has a new quilt video every Friday.

    Im working very slowly on a UFO - summer in the park pattern from Missouri star. It's actually a simple tube quilt pattern. Going slow because I cut the blocks a while ago and the points don't match very well. Lots of pinning and tugging ruins my mood.

    Working on the 2018 Lotto with Val and making sample blocks. Should have the new posting up soon. Stay tuned.

    Beautiful quilt, Rita! I love the color combination and I love scrappy.

    I happened to see that pattern earlier, Rita, and fell in love with it. I'll not make a quilt (I don't think), but I did make a red/white/blue block for the stack of QOV sampler blocks I'll be donating. The white for the stars just makes it sparkle.
