Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
 
I didn't get any sewing done... but did receive a special goody in the mail! Nancy's Notions had
advertised a great deal on thread with a nice storage case AND a sewing machine travel case. I
splurged. It came today. I am so excited!

I hope to get back to work on the DWR tomorrow.

Friday I bought fabric to be ready to jump right in on joining my guild BOM's from last year (need
the top assembled by our November meeting). That will be a simple sashing -- 3 narrow rows of
fabric (dark purple on the outside - white in the middle) with 9 patches in the cornerstones. You
can see the EQ version in my webshots folder. All 24 blocks are finished. It is just the sashing I
need to complete.

So hopefully by this time next week... the notorious DWR will be on its way to the long arm quilter
in Minnesota... and the Purple/White BOM will be ready to go when I get the DWR back!

Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
 
I finished cutting out the last (I hope) of the non-blue triangles for
my 1000 Pyramids take along project. Also, I pieced the back for a
flannel YBR. The back and top are now waiting patiently for me to pin
baste them--maybe tomorrow?

Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
 
I took a member's workshop through the guild. Each October, since that
is the month we give the outgoing President her quilt, we do not have a
speaker so members offer classes. I took a class on making these really
cute purses. I am not a sewer, only a quilter and was amazed at how well
I did. I will post the pictures tomorrow or so on my Webshots when I am
awake to trust myself not to drop my camera.

I cut out thread catchers and even worked on sewing some that were
already cut out. I also sewed the binding on a quilt I make every very
as a donation to a cat rescue group. The raffle it off and last years
quilt made close to 500.00 for them. I was pleased. So all in all a
good day.

Almost finished 'framing' my 16 candlewicking blocks with lace. Hope to
finish and start putting them together with sashing tomorrow. They are SO
pretty I can hardly wait.

I should have added that I did do some sewing today.
http://tinyurl.com/ym3fe9
string pieced placemats with cat motifs on the reverse.
Each motif has one of four very strong colours in the
background. I have already finished the green and gold
ones. Today was making the purple and blue.


I also posted some pictures of F's cow quilt.

She does classes with me on Monday nights and this was her
first applique project. Her second was the elephant head -

Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?
 
well on your today ( my yesterday): I attacked the monster quilt for a
while, plotted my quilted waistcoat, designed a quilt = 12 variations of
one, while plotting what I can do for next years
bout of insanity aka entering the next years European quilt championships

today I must finish quilting the monster quilt - just a bit of border left
:-D and trim the quilt and join the binding strips I cut when I cut out the
quilt and make the sleeve. hopefully I can sew the binding on so I will have
all day tomorrow to handsew the yards and yards of binding down

tired yet? LOL
