Default What are your current quilting projects?

OH MY!

I am trying to finish so many things because I have committed to going back
to Michigan for Christmas and want to give everyone a quilt. Its been an
idea for years and some I started in the last year and some Istarted over a
dozen years ago.

Woven baskets with appliqued flowers for Mom and Sister
Appliqued kimono prints and sashiko for BIL
Appliqued fish and 3-D lily pad and flower for BIL
Nighty-Nite girl for niece
Nighty-Nite boy for nephew-almost done.
Appliqued orange and beaded silhouette of a naked women for my Aunt-It's
actually done so I need to take a picture for all of you.
For my other sister I don't know yet and time is counting.

Most are sewed but need to be quilted, and I am doing it by hand and then
the binding. Bert will be gone for two weeks in October. Guess what I will
be doing morning, noon, and night when I am not at school?

Oh, and my nephew graduates this year and Deb is retiring from teaching so
there are two more to make. I'm crazy but aren't we all?

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,

Is "Nighty-Nite" a pattern name, or just what the intended quilt is meant to
be used for?

I'm just finishing the label and hanging sleeve for the card-tricks
wall-hanging I made for my bathroom to match my favourite towel. (Is
it crazy to have a wall-hanging in the bathroom?)

My big purple hand-pieced thing is almost done the quilt top. It's
hanging up while I think about borders.

I have some fabric and an instruction book for doing a Stack and
Whack, but I'm waiting until I feel brave and alert to start cutting.

And I'm picking out fabrics for the first Block of the Month in the
guild I just joined.

I started another one of those Quilt from Hell things from my leftover
stash of never ending diagonal squares. This time it is a Bargetto
pattern. We have a Bicentenial celebration show for Fredericktown,
where I live, that most of the people who quilt and do other things,
Needlepoint, Painting, whatever, are entering. It is coming up on the
20th of October and I decided, what the he**. I am going to go for it.
I have to make the quilt and also the stand to show it on. That is
going to cut it kind of thin. The quilt is 6' x 6' so were not talking
wall hanging here folks. I have 7 of 42, 6' strips of squares done. I
told myself I would not do another one of these things, but you know
how it is. I just can't help myself.

I just sandwiched & spray-basted the lap-size Storm at Sea top that I
finished last week. Now I get to start machine quilting it. I'm almost
done handquilting my southwestern applique wall hanging. Then next week
it's time to do the guild's newsletter for October.

Finishing up basted quilts that got set aside uncompleted......there are
two. After that, if I can find the time, a break from quilting to sew some
Actual Curtains for the house.....then back to quilting!

Hi

It was a pattern in a quilt magazine about 15 years ago. It was a boy or
girl asleep with their rabbit or bear and their blanket covering them was a
quilt. If you would like the pattern I will make a copy for you.

I try to scan the main picture tomorrow and email it to you.

No excuses from here. I had a lovely nap from 10 until noon. Sometimes I
can even spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or (the longest word in
Mississippi's vocabulary - howsyourmomanthem).

god, I need a nap!

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

Well, When I have cleared my sewing table of the tax return! and when I
have received and checked the proofs, I will be settling down to making
the quilt for an article. So far I have only done 'useful' articles!
but now I am going to do a miniature version of Blooming nine patch (a
la Blanche Young). I'm not quite sure that it is possible - I have it
drawn and the fabric chosen, but I have only made up one of the nine
patch experimental three-quarter inch blocks. I hope it is possible to
do them all neatly. Otherwise, I might have to go up to three eighths or
even a half? The fabrics are lovely!
Then I'm on to a dolphin, watery wall hanging, and then the easiest of
the Bristol Cathedral floor quilts.
