Default Roll Call: What did you do "quilty" today?

double wedding ring? If so -- how are you doing it? Paper pieced? template? I'm on the end
stretch of my second (and probably last ever DWR)! I used the acrylic templates --

What colors are you using? Tell us more!

I went to the Concord (MA) Piecemakers quilters yard sale. For $6, I came home with a grocery bag
full of exciting scraps, squares and even a full yard piece. Now, all I need to do is start
sewing.

I started cutting out pieces for my first wedding ring something or another... lol

does it just kill you how DH's can drop pounds so much easier than we can? My DH is the same way.
When he decides to drop a few... within a few weeks he's down 20+! Makes me want to kill him!!!!
(or at least buy him candy and cooking lots of pasta for him!)

I am working on an embroidered letter character quilt for my
grand-niece. I am also still in the middle of bear-claw quilt for
myself, which always gets pushed off for another project. My husband
has asked me to try to take in his pants because HE LOST 55 lbs on MY
DIET!

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!

Good Luck on your exam! Long ago (in a previous lifetime) I did pretty good with math... Not sure
that part of my brain still functions....

I'm sure you'll do great!

Sadly, not a darn thing. I have an algebra midterm on Monday and I did homework, studied, did some
more algebra, figured out that radicals won't kill me, decided that my grades would be better if I
could actually add and subtracts regular numbers ;-) and still have some practice-for-the-test
homework to finish.

Uhm, I read the news group and I moved a piece of fabric from the dryer top
to the table; does that count?

I need to do some pressing and cutting for a Steelers quilt for my daughter;
I am using Jessamy's 4th of July mystery quilt pattern for this one. I liked
my red/white/blue one so much, I thought I would try it in other colors.

Nothing, but I did unpack boxes for my office. After the garage, my
sewing room (the BOX ROOM) is next. However, I'm currently
uninspired sewing-wise, so I'll wait for the muse to strike. Or the
pink squares I ordered to arrive, which ever comes first. Have to find
the iron. Have to find the ironing board. Have to find the sewing
machine. Have to ..... :

I finished making 9 paper pieced blocks. Last April I won a "Tin Box
Sampler Series" of gorgeous crackle charm fabrics as a door prize. The
pattern is "Courthouse Steps". Now I just have to put them together and
finish the 12" X 12" project. I had plenty of time to sew as DH and all
three sons were at the Penn State football game....they won't be happy when
they return home today!

Not only that, but my secret sister sent me some chocolate a while
back. I hid it knowing there would be a time when I would REALLY want
it. That time was yesterday. Went to get it - it was gone. He found it
and ate it!

Whoops, just remembered, I put a piece of backing in the washer
yesterday to pre-shrink and forgot all about it.

It's been fun reading what everyone is working on!

I bought a pattern "Fat Quarter Quilting: Four Fabric Quilts" Thre are 9
small (16"x20") quilt designs.

I finished up the top piecing yesterday and stuck it in the "Top Finished,
May Never Look At It Again" drawer.

Either I misread the instructions or they were plum wrong, but I used
Thangles to make the squares for the outer border and they were too big.
After making 68 of them and putting them together, I found myself chopping
out squares and cutting down the inside border to make it come out even.

You can see the patterns he

They are really cute, but that makes me so MAD.

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.


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



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 -

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