Update

Molly and I are spending time together outside in the yard (she's a professional tennis ball retriever-I think)




If we're not outside we stay in the basement.... So I've got a lot of quilting done. 

LCQA --now named "Irene":

Jelly roll races:


Evening Shadows:


Schnibbles "Madeline":

Schnibbles Winter White is loaded now and 2/3's quilted

  Jelly roll races, I just stippled, Irene I did custom quilting on and will have better pictures after Molly leaves and I can find the time.... I quilted with an all-over feather meander on the others-just love using that!
I did sew the binding to my Jelly roll races top but am waiting now to see what the next step in the basement deconstruction/construction will be.  If I can't use my stuff downstairs, I'm figuring I can sew binding upstairs.
**some of you may see through this flimsy excuse to just avoid the dreaded binding process--basically you'd be correct **

Our oldest son, Paul is here for the week (BIG SMILE). More news on that later.

Schnibbles


Last night I cut out the pieces for Madeline and today I pieced it. 


Oh how I love this little quilt.  It was the first Schnibbles pattern I fell in love with.

I finished the binding on my CW Medallion quilt a few days ago and have been waiting for good weather and a couple of strong quilt holders.  I got tired of waiting.
