RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
Looking through the magazine stash for yet more ideas, and wishing for more
quilting time...I keep bringing armloads of them to my new home with new hubby from my old house as I prepare to sell...trying to do some clean-up on squares made by group of ladies at church still to be sewn into a top for a raffle... AND still fretting over what I want to do with my 31 1/2 yards of floral strips...but I made myself feel better by buying the 12" square Olfa mat that has the rotating base...and isn't that the niftiest thing EVER? Alison "Marlys in Indiana" wrote in message news:cCQBf.513259$084.488107@attbi_s22... Working on the partial t-shirt quilt for my DDIL in Calif. I'm thinking that I've made a bit of bad fabric choices in sashing the blocks, but I'm somewhat at a "point of no return" sort of place and I really don't want to go back and frog stitch 66+ of 10" blocks. Hoping, fingers crossed, all cross-able body parts crossed, etc., that it will still turn out reasonably well. Only time will tell. Sheesh!!! Marlys in Indiana "frood" wrote in message ... So... how's it going? What projects are you working on? What other quilty things are you doing? Reading magazines/books? Sketching out designs? Shopping for fabric? Rearranging the sewing room/area/nook? -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm un-STUFF email address to reply |

I'm spraying and removing the markings on the raffle quilt for our guild.
It's all done with the hand quilting! Now for the binding and thennnnnnnn I have to figure out the ticket printing, distribution, money collection and a fair way to draw a name at our show in June. I'll post a picture of it when it's finished. It's beautiful! If you have the book "Pink Lemonade" by Linda Johnson, it's the one on the cover. KJ |

Rearranging the sewing room/area/nook? I haven't done much quilting so far this week, because I've been trying to get my computer back in order. However, now that the computer will be leaving for an extended stay in the hospital, I'll be working on quilting my Tuppence quilt. I've started the free-motion quilting and hope to get it at least mostly done before my computer returns. I also have a few Quilted Diamond blocks ready to hand piece, so that will be relaxing. Oh, and on Saturday I'm taking a class on machine trapunto given by a local gal who does beautiful work; I've done machine trapunto once before, but this should be fun and informative. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
Well, I started off by getting back to my hand quilting, I'm on the border
of my batik quilt. I now know why they say it's hard to hand quilt batik! I've also pieced a minkie quilt for new grand niece or nephew due in March. I plan on machine quilting the baby quilt. Went to the LQS and purchased some more batiks. And oh yes, I purchased a 401!!!! I think I've been doing very well at celebrating Quilting Week ;-) -- Bonnie NJ |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I am working on a hand appliqué BOM from a local shop.
The background fabric is a black velvet with a red flannel center. Then each block will have snow people. Block one is finished except for one star which my youngest dog ate. Yes , you read that right never did my dog eat my homework but now the pup ate my appliqué project. Go ahead laugh , the host of the BOM has already been laughing at me.

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
It's been a busy week, but I'm quilting when I can!
I'm still trucking along on Johnny's HUG. I can't work on it tomorrow, though, because I need to attend a ceremony for him. He's being presented an award for heroism for when he pulled a few drunk teenagers out of a burning car last November. I'm so blessed to know this kid! I started RCTQ Quilting Week by going out for a bit of S.E.X! Spent close to a hundred bucks building up the stash a bit. Got to talk to a Hoffman rep about a fabric style they used to carry in 2002. Now I'm better armed to find more of it! Organized the "sewing room" (if you can call it that) a bit better, and moved some yarn and cross stitch into storage since I haven't used either in about three years. I wish a day was three times as long. I have far too many ideas, but too little time to do them all! When grad school starts in the fall, I know I'll have to put the quilts aside, and I'm already mourning the loss. Anastasia --who must confess she did spend about two hours online last evening drooling over a $55 Shetland shawl knitting book that she REALLY wants. Pity her birthday's in December. Pooh. |
