Whats Everyone Working On?
Well? ;-)
What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family? Dragging out PIGS or finishing up UFOs and WIPS or have new quilts started appearing? I'm still working on the queen size LC borders, getting ready to MQ the siggy quilt, plotting the next borders on DDs quilt, and playing with layouts for Mike's 'Things go better with Coke" quilt. Sometime in the middle of those I need to design and make two quilted Christmas stockings. Lets hear your list!

This week is totally devoted to getting ready for retreat! (or at
least as total as my devotion can be, given the contents of my calendar and other obligations) I am finishing up the challenge quilt which is to be judged there. Later on I will ponder why I chose a block with thousands of set-in seams when I have little experience with them. Also, I am making seven blocks for two projects to be completed there by the group. One block is mostly done. Lastly, I am hoping to organize a project to work on while there. This requires a trip to buy spray basting stuff and a sunny day to use it on my driveway. Mary |

I am trying to finish mq'ing a mariners compass quilt for dd.
The anniversary quilt for 20th anniversary is almost all hand quilted. (Just had our 24'th anniversary so no rush anymore). When we did the hoffman tour they gave my guild a mess of fabric and charity quilts tops are ready to be sandwiched and finished. That's the stuff most on the front burner around here. If I start a whole list I might disappoint myself. Taria Diana Curtis wrote: Well? ;-) What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family?

Just this weekend I finished 4 I Spy quilt tops. I have the backing,
just need to get some batting. I still have that quilt for My Mom that I've been working on all year. I am giving up on trying to make the House for the middle, I can't get it to look the way I want it to and am being too picky I guess. I'm just going to sew the Mapleleaf blocks together with some scrappy 9 patches I think using the same materials. Also found a few small kids panels that I had bought, I need to get those quilted before the bazaar too. Hubby and I made our first batch of salsa yesterday. 12 pints. Lots more to do...

When is the bazaar this year and is it in the same place? DH would like to try the salsa this year. I guess your feeling a little better if you are getting things done for the bazaar.

The Bazaar is the first weekend in December. Yes, it will be at the
church. I'll be mailing the locals here a flyer as soon as we have them ready. I'm going to have the salsa, the leftover stockings from last year (CHEAP!) and all this stuff I'm working on now. Might also try making some spicy pecans if I have time. LOL. Babs DQLTS wrote: Barb When is the bazaar this year and is it in the same place? DH would like to try the salsa this year.

I seem to remember hearing that there are baked chips that are pretty darn
good. That would make them healthier anyway. Mmmmmmm fresh home made salsa.. on eggs.. scrambled cause it slides right off the fried ones. :-) Diana -- Heart and soul can make up for technical lacking in any form of art, but let the heart be lacking and all the perfection means nothing.
