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. :-))
