I got into my sewing room today and put together a top from some BOMs I just finished. I think I'd like to hand quilt this one, but I'm not sure what the best way to quilt this is. Anyone have any ideas. Maureen Almost forgot, the photo is in the works in progress album.

Yup, when it rains it pours. My iMac is still(!) at the computer docs (I sure hope I can pick it up Monday). Then, yesterday I was trying to do a zig zag stitch on some fabric trading cards I've been making for the quilt guild and no matter what I did I could not keep the bobbin thread from...

I recently finished quilting my batik quilt. My civil war sampler also just came back from the long arm quilter. Yippee! Two finished projects. I've posted some pictures he http://homepage.mac.com/mwoz2/PhotoAlbum2.html Maureen

I managed to finish a baby quilt for my friend's first baby. Baby was only a week old when I finished. My friend was convinced she was having a boy, so I went with this Noah's Ark panel in dark blue. Guess what, Baby was a girl. But I guess she won't care so much that it's not pink. Here's...

I put photos of my now finished Lone Star quilt in the Quilts album he http://gallery.me.com/mwoz2#gallery Maureen

Yesterday I friend of mine needed to use the computer for some on-line Xmas shopping since hers is dead at the moment. Her 3-year-old daughter was with us in the sewing room. 3 y.o. scribbled on the chalkboard for awhile and then started rootling through my fat quarters. She'd pull them out...

So I finish the binding and hold up a WH for David to see. "Are you finally finished with that? It took you like eight months." No. Only 5 months and 9 days to do the hand applique and hand quilting. A picture of Floral Fantasie is in the Quilts...

The guild's potluck is Monday night and we're supposed to bring 2 new spools of thread wrapped up in fabric for the gift exchange. No problem!, I think to myself. I have fabric. I have thread. Except of course that most of my thread is used, so whole spool is not there. Except this one...

I just spent the entire 3-day weekend pin basting a batik quilt. My fingers at the moment look like raw meat. I had to go buy more pins twice--- finished up that pinning just a few minutes ago. Took the sandwhich off the table and, despite all the smoothing and clamping I did as I went along,...

I've migrated my pictures to a new photoalbum at homepage.mac.com/mwoz2/PhotoAlbum2 Hopefully everything made it (including the red and green quilt) and is in the order I put it in. Maureen

Yesterday was so yucky with bad storms threatening every moment. What a good day to get down into the sewing room. I've been sorting and shifting most of my stash over the last couple of weekends. I've only my dying stash, the miscellaneous craft closet which really is mostly cardmaking...

We have a history of getting terrible gifts from at least one family member, but not this year. In fact, all gifts were tasteful and appropriate (well, there are the wineglasses engraved with the name of the New York winery that sells this horrendously sweet wine called Red Cat that his family...

Well, I finally have my monster quilt tied. The problem is, that I changed my mind so many times on how to quilt it. Finally went with tieing as the option I was mostly likely to finish. The problem is that now I don't want to leave the previous quilting in. I won't go into details, but I...

I'm just back from the laundromat. With 2 newly cleaned and finished quilts. One is a crib sized quilt in civil war fabrics. It is destined for David's nephew and wife. The other is a seven year in the making, king-sized monster. I was afraid the monster would never be finished. I started...

And did I have fun! I do not want to go back to work today. I want to quilt some more. We left a little later than planned Thursday morning, in the rain. After we packed up the car (there was, just barely, room for us) we headed out. On the way there, I had to call into for a court status...

I've uploaded a photo of my most recent finished quilt to the my quilts album at http://new.photos.yahoo.com/mwoz2/albums Its the red and green carnation quilt. Maureen

I've got to fill out the entry forms for our guild's show tonight. I'm having a tough time deciding what to put in. We can enter up to 15, I have a list of 10 possibles. But winnowing down is turning out to be harder than I thought, because everything on the list of possibilities is either...
