Quilting Now?
I've got 4 quilts on the go atm. 3 are being pieced, 2 are jelly roll 1
is a 4" sampler quilt (similar to a Dear Jane, but no applique and in brights) My 4th quilt is a cot sized strippy, mostly I've been quilting it whilst watching my kids run round the local park/playground. |

Quilting Now?
I am making a scaled down version of my quilting group's next show's
raffle quilt . I am using the same fabric, and it will be about a quarter size. I thought it would be helpful for advance advertising and information - especially so that the group themselves, who will be making the quilt, will be able to see a finished version before they start making the blocks. My blocks are 2", the large one will have 7" ones. The fabrics are a collection of lovely batiks. It is only going slowly, as 'things' keep interrupting; but I've broken the back of the 121 little blocks. .. In message , Polly Esther writes What are you stitching just now? I have a jungle symphony on the design wall: lions and tigers and bears. An elephant, 3 zebras and all manner of kangaroo spots and jungle greenery. The arrangement was just much too 'expected' so I tossed in the Easter Bunny. Ah. just right. And I wondered what my friends here were stitching. planning? stomping and setting on fire? It's time for county fairs; anyone entering? And probably time to get going on any sort of Christmas tree skirt or stocking. So. Roll Call. What'cha doin' ? Polly -- Best Regards Pat on the Green |

Polly your jungle quilt sounds cute. It's only 4 more weeks before we go to
Florida for the winter, and I will finish packing the last week. So that gives me just 3 weeks to do some Christmas sewing for my son and family here in SC. After I get to Florida I will be sewing for Christmas down there. Barbara in SC |

(in article ): Home dec? Now there's a project I need to get going on. There's quite a collection of wooden spools of thread and a few smaller ones that contained silk button hole twist here. I've thought of getting a lamp with an empty base usually for filling with sea shells and putting the special old wooden things in it. It also crosses my mind that a lamp shade of quilt blocks might be fun. Any body tried it? Polly Never tried it, but I bet it would be pretty stunning! Maureen |

Mercury in retrograde plus full moon - a time of high energy and
little sleep for me. Ah, that must be why I got such a bee in my bonnet this weekend to finish these baby quilts! One done, bound and washed, ready to be gifted nesxt week. Second one tied, binding made, ready to be pinnned down and sewn on [finish is hand-stiched to the back], Third one top is done, ready to get backing and batting leyered for tieing. Then on to deciding what I want to do for the first mini for my courtroom. Thinking a Moon Over the Mountain in 3" or 4" finished blocks.

What'cha doin' ? * Polly Good question! I am thinking about finishing/machine quilting two laps that need to be done in 3 weeks - just keep avoiding them. I've got a tiny paper-pieced "September" wall hanging to border and quilt, and I embroidered a little on a tiny Halloween wall hanging last night that is nearly ready for borders. I plan to go to the fair tomorrow to look at the quilts and have reservations to go to Penn. for a quilt show next month. |

The quilt for my almost-4 granddaughter's big bed. It's a "sister" to
her older sister's quilt. I've got the piano-key border left -- then the machine quilting. Hope to have it done for her birthday Labor Day weekend.
