RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
Wendy: I've mostly been doing the latter. I also read a few
magazines, and played with fabric. My sewing room was a total mess. It was still messy after the Retreat in November, when I had to go fast forward for Christmas preparations, then surgery in early December, then recovery, holidays, etc. So, Quilting Week was the incentive to put things in order again. Not totally neat, by any means, but now I can SEW and CUT and EAT CHOCOLATE in there!! I am now moving ahead with UFO and blocks. GRINS, PAT in VA/USA frood wrote: 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? |

Need to bind the quilted vest for Jazz to play darts in. Then I can start on the wedding wallhanging, with the two dragons getting married. -georg |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I put the center blocks together for my latest quilt. I have one of the
pieced borders finished, and one more to go. I've been testing the steps of the mystery quilt I'll be leading my quilting group through in the next month or so. I've also been trying to plan a quilt for my DS2's roommate. She has been asked as a guest artist and speaker at a convention in May, and wants me to make a quilt with some of her art images to be auctioned for the Children's Help Line, her favourite charity. She doesn't sew or quilt, and so we are having an interesting time with the planning. I've sent her some ideas I worked up on EQ, and she is trying to get some images together for me to play with. It will be quite a challenge, but I love those.... "frood" wrote in message ... So... how's it going? What projects are you working on? What other quilty things are you doing?

Join the BOM, make a different block each month, then there is a month
for assembly and a month for the quilty type portion and then you have a quilt for YOU that you didn't even realize you were making because you only did one block at a time! Dannielle - BTW - the BOM is starting up again in April! |

Well, I got a new book, 40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts by Evelyn Sloppy,
and I have read it about 20 times already (I think it just arrived on Thursday). And I also did up 3 blocks for a contribution to a charity quilt. Other than that, I haven't done much quilty, other than drool over all of the fabrics that I can't buy any time soon! Dannielle - who's really looking forward to a tax return! |

RCTQ Quilting Week - What are you working on?
I worked on my Poiple LC for ME! Then I got down in bed sick (no, not the
flu) and am still too tired to even think about sewing. Today I did walk outside whilst Mr Joe picked the peas for us. Guess what we are having for dinner ; ) They are the sweetest peas I have had in a long long time. Almost like eating dessert : ) Butterfly "Dannielle" wrote in message oups.com...

San Francisco has the best climate for peas. Here we plant them in February
and by April it is too hot for them. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Butterfly" wrote in message ...

Dannielle - BTW - the BOM is starting up again in April! And, if you dither as much as I do, you can save them up to do when the time is right. On the 22nd, I finally made three of the BOM blocks I've been saving. Monday I worked our Federal election - we had to be there at 6:30 am and didn't finish until after 8:00 pm, so no sewing that day. Then the carpenter was done with the new hardwood floor in the family room, so I had to start painting (urged on by DH). Ceilings are no fun at the best of times, and this was previously unpainted stipple. Yuck. Final coat on the walls Sunday, and now I'm working on the 'new' room next to it; there was a hot tub when we bought the house, and we never used it or the room, so removed the tub and carpet, had the hole filled in and hardwood floor installed. I'm not good on ladders, so it'll be nerve-racking. But I did make three blocks for rctq week. Lee |
