What are your current quilting projects?
 
With school starting, vacations over, relatives gone
back home (hopefully!) ... it is time to rev up the
needles! What about your current project/s?

Right now I am working on the Pink Hug Quilt for my
friend. This is a support for when she has the
mastectomy. Some generous quilters from RCTQ Land have
sent lovely pink fabric to enrich the quilt.

We have not had this thread in a while, so it will be
fun to read the replies! Thanks,

Sewing the binding and labels on 2 quilts for DS1 & DS2 for Christmas.
Carrying on with denim & flannel quilt for DD also for Christmas.
A couple of postcards for a swap I'm in.
Make a quick baby quilt for DMIL's cancer charity raffle in October.

I also hope to continue/complete at least one or two more WIPs that have
been languishing for too long.

I'm working on winter swap blocks for another group. Then I'm afraid I have
to put up the quilting and do some slacks alterations for my DD.

My plan is not working. I went through the scraps bin; sorted it into
strips, squares and hunks. Beginning with the squares and advancing in a
sort of 'log cabin' manner, I'm making scrappy blocks with the foolish
notion of reducing the explosion in the scrap bin. No matter how much I
use, it never seems to dimish. Ah well. Polly

I am making a manly Japanese fabric inspired quilt in black, white, red and
gold for my son, finishing my Dresden plate, and a few special little things
for the pending baby due Nov. 11th.

Right now I'm quilting a blue/yellow table runner that will be a
Christmas gift for MIL -- so that she won't take mine home with her. ;)
After that, I have to make a Christmas stocking for DGD (I think I have
everything for it now, except for a piece of ribbon to hang it by), and
then I have some things waiting to be quilted. Next week I'll be
teaching my quilt group how to paper piece. Nothing enormous, but I'm
staying busy! :)

Just finished MOI Poiple Log Cabin and the latest tablerunner/placemat set,
and now have DD's Plane Quilt on the Design Wall.

I 'counted' the list of Quilts, WUH, and Placemat sets that I have in
various stages from cut out to partially quilted to have the fabric but not
the pattern and came up with 56. Add on a housecoat for MOI and a Butterfly
Blouse to sew, and finish with the 3 afghans (2 crochet and one knit) in
various stages that I need to finish and you know what I have been up to.

Butterfly (who spent some of yesterday and today doing a lil bit of
crocheting--thus not online)

I am finishing up a challenge, send a gallon bag of fabric and get
back a quilt top. It is due September 30, I will get done in time but
just barely! The lesson I am learning is that half square triangles
add a lot of variety and interest to a project but take more time to
make than regular squares.
Next is a lap size quilt for my sister in law who is facing some scary
surgery next month. I do have a stack of appropriate blocks from a
swap several years ago so all I have to do is get it done.
Also, I want to make Carol Doak's block of the month from her yahoo
group. If I get it done before the end of the month I will be
eligible for a prize drawing.
Then, there is the annual Christmas auction for which I make a quilt.
Got to start thinking about what to make.
And here I was thinking that I could coast now that I have gotten the
three HS graduation quilts done...

I'm making 2 Christmas stockings for my dogs, 4 dog quilts and matching
dog placemats for a "no kill" dog rescue org for their fall fundraiser,
and making a bunch of little needle books for small Christmas gifts.

I'm working on a quilt called Love's Labyrinth from Courtship Quilts
(Janna L. Sheppard) - my own colours of course - another border or two
and it will be a finished top. It has fans and appliqued flowers and
it's quite different really. Think I'll send it out to be quilted
tho' - don't seem to enjoy that part much any more. AND I've got so
much fabric that I think I better get busy and use some of it up -
darn stuff just seems to breed during the night. :-))
