Weekend Quilting

8 years ago

Hello Quilters! This has been a busy weekend for us. DS and his family were here Friday and Saturday. We all went to DD's house on Saturday afternoon so the kids could swim.

DH and I both got haircuts after church this morning and I was so tired I took a nap after lunch. I NEVER nap. lol

As I mentioned in Rita's post, my Friday post for the weekend is not showing. I think it probably was my error.

I had posted a picture of the small quilt I made for the granddaughter who is expected in November. I had four leftover blocks and made a doll quilt to match the baby quilt.

Sorry for the poor photo. It was taken the week that we rain every day. I forgot to take a pic of the doll quilt..

What have your been working on this weekend?

I have been working on fan blocks using Asian fabrics that hopefully will be a wedding present in November. I need 90+ blocks. I still have to find out if they have a queen or king size bed! It has rained and hailed here off and on all weekend! We also had our granddaughter overnight last night then son and DIL came for DH's birthday dinner tonight. Busy weekend! Poppy got his granddaughter a new toy for HIS birthday! That was more fun than sewing. The scooter has a motor and she can drive it.

I made the Aug. Lotto blocks and I did more work on a top made from leftovers.

I started quilting Bonnie Hunter's Star Stuck this afternoon during a sudden rain shower. This one's for me.

I've been working on lotto blocks and binding my cowboy quilt. I'm changing my stitch for binding, so that took a while to get used to. Up until now, I used a slip stitch (like hemming a skirt) to sew the back. I tried a ladder stitch for the last quilt. That was not my favorite (it may have been the fabric or a really dull needle). So I did the cowboy quilt in a different slip stitch. Donna Poster is my latest youtube quilting guru, so I followed her instructions. This stitch is a little less noticeable than the regular slip stitch.

Then, my computer crashed yesterday, so most of yesterday was taken up with that.

Lois' productivity has inspired me! I recently reorganized my sewing closet and ended up with three large bins with projects either started or planned! ACK! :)

Last weekend I quilted a small top my mom had made. She passed away two years ago and was unable to quilt for quite a while before that, so I'd guess it was completed 5-8 years ago. I sent it to Jackie for the Baby James collection (she posted a photo).

This past weekend I finished a quilted jacket. I put it away in frustration a LONG time ago (at least a year, but I bet longer). It's done now! No pics yet, though.

Next up - I have two landscape panels that my mom made. I'm going to assemble them into a tote bag and send it to my sister for her birthday Aug. 17. After that I have a full-size log cabin top my mom made that I'm going to quilt for sis-in-law for Christmas. Mom had only made small baby quilts for quite a while, so I'm guessing this top is 10-15 years old, maybe older.

Lois and Donna are both inspiring me to get my butt in gear. This morning, I added borders to the top I was working on yesterday, have it sandwiched and the binding made. There are three other tops ready to sandwich, so I pulled out backing for those. My laundry is on the line, ready to come in and remake the beds. Fresh from the line! DS#2 was here on the weekend. He already did his sheets and towel. What a good boy!
