A Post for me

I finished the quilting on Spring Journey Sampler quilt--love it.  12/10-sewed on binding and began the hand sewing to back of quilt, this is going to take a few days, so much other stuff to do.  Also yesterday, I quilted 3 of the donation quilts, 1st one all over stipple, 2nd-all over zig-zag, really like this will have to use again.  I used a primary variegated thread on both of these. 3rd one looping circles all over, started with a pastel variegated but ran out so finished with a pastel blue. 
Today I made the binding for all 5 quilts and loaded the 4th one. I'm quilting that with an all over curvy "C's" that I like so much as a filler, just making each 'c' a little bigger.  I also cleaned up messy pile in sewing room.  I was throwing backing leftovers from quilts that were finished in a heap.  They were a jumbled mess. I pressed them and cut into strips for string quilts.  I'm going out to dinner tonight with 2 friends, if I get home in time I hope to finish the 4th one and load 5th.  Pictures will follow.  No time today.
Edit:  I got home around 9:30 (had a wonderful time) and finished quilting 4th quilt, loaded and quilted 5th one too!  I forgot and drank regulare coffee after dinner, instead of decaf.

Regular coffee at night helps get a lot of things done. ;) Good job on so many quilts so fast!
