Apart from the perennial take-along hand project (currently 2½" bowties) and
the evening-with-DH hand quilting, I am (gasp!) between quilts! Just finished 2 smallish ones made of some orphan blocks. Guess it's time to start drafting another mosaic floor. A dear kind friend came over last week and brought me my order of marbles, so there's floor-type fabric!

Let me see. I am trying to finish the borders on the miniRR, I am
machine quilting my ABC quilt for my friend's daughter, and trying to finish apliqueing the lead on Sofia's butterfly wall hanging (bought seed beads to embelish that one). Besides that, we are rearranging the pieces on Y2K+5 with DH. I also have the antique dahlia blocks ready to be apkiqued (6 need centers), but that is another LTP. I want to finish all my WIPs, except the Y2K+5 in which DH is involved and thus I cannot really control, before I leave (or I can take them with me to finish the handwork on) so I can start somethign new when we get back, probably a quilt for our couch in batiks.

Funny you should ask! I just spent part of the morning getting things ready
for our quilt show on October 2 and 3. (MSQG in Frederic, WI). I have 3 largish quilts to show and a flag wall hanging. Also pulled out some items for the Silent Auction--a Quiltmaker's Gift pillow, chicken pincushion, and Halloween mug rugs. Tossed my Challenge in the garbage---because I battled it for half a day yesterday, decided I didn't like it and it was a mess. This morning I called my long arm quilter and am bringing 2 quilts to her to quilt this afternoon---a Snail's Trail I did at the Spring Workshop and a Nickel Square Quilt (nickel squares from RCTQ and my guild. Then if she gets them done, I'll be binding them. Probably my next priority should be to layer, quilt, scallop the border, and bind a Christmas Table Cover for my SIL.

What is a loop start? And a 1390 quilt?
Diana, striving to become always less ignorant -- 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. "georg" wrote in message .. . Diana Curtis wrote: Well? ;-) What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family? Most of the last bit of the round robin is done. Need to sew 20 more seams. I've started the serious work on the 1390 quilt. It's a pain because I hate loop starts. But it is neat working with linen floss etc. I have vowed to do something similar using *decidedly modern* techniques when I'm done, just for the joy of the look without the effort. DJ has been set aside until that's done. -georg |

When you decide to get back into it you dont mess around! Do you still need
to work in 15 minute increments? 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.

Sounds like youre having oodles of fun! Hooray!

Well let's see... -1 wall calendar quilt for my parents (made from a Debbie Mumm calendar panel, in the machine quilting stage -one rail fence WH for my mom, also in the quitling stage -handpiecing a sister's choice lap quilt for my aunt, who keeps giving tons of fabric (almost done piecing this one). It's my quiet time quilt, for when DD is sleeping or I want to watch TV. -friendship stars "nap" quilt, just needs a border and then quilting, for DD to take a nap with - my Halloween quilt-for-me, may end up as a double bed topper -a t-shirt quilt of DH's and my shirts, just in the cutting phase really at this point. I cut and fused the shirts to some interfacing, but that's as far as I've gotten -19 ornaments for the Christmas exchange (got half done, just need some time for the other half now!) On the bright side, both my round robins are done. One was mailed out two weeks ago maybe, and the other is going out this week. Woohoo! But that will lead to two more wall quilts to quilt. Aaargh! It never ends! Isn't it wonderful?! Michelle in Gander "Diana Curtis" worte in message What sort of things does everyone have going at the moment in the quilt family? |
