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!

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?

I requested permission to make another Guicciardini quilt.

I have commenced planning stages, even without receiving permission yet.
The person for whom I made the first Guicciardini quilt just won Crown
Tourney again, so his lady will become a duchess when they step down, so
I'd like to make them matching quilts for the occasion. I may make her a
simpler version anyway.

What am I talking about?

or if you just want the finished pictu

(assuming that server cooperates)

That quilt is currently in the hands of Il Club del Punto en Croce for
their Florence, Italy, show of quilts inspired by the Guicciardini
quilt, to the best of my knowledge.

putting off making the new Elizabethan garb yet again.

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.

I should have added that I did do some sewing today.

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.

They're so nice, Cheryl! I think I'd be tempted to use the back side of
them, since those cats are so cute. G

That elephant still amazes me -- a first appliqué project isn't allowed
to be that good! But the cows are just adorable.

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.
