What I've been working on

I have the binding sewn on and pinned for hand sewing to the back on my Eat. Play. Sleep. Repeat baby quilt.

The binding is sewn on my Serengeti Dance quilt as well.

I'm continuing to sew the blocks together for CW Medallion.  In this picture the side rows are already sewn on to the center and the top row is together but not added to the center.

Today I machine blanket-stitched the 3rd Bunny Hill BOM for Henrietta Whiskers

and then put the first row together.

I'm just lovin this project.

And these are SUPPOSE to be my Leader/enders but I keep finding myself piecing the little blocks together in between and then just piecing them for a bit. They are like eating m&m's---a bag at a time.

(that is how everyone eats m&m's right? not just me!)

I do need to take a little time and cut a bunch of patches for these L/E's. I think that's part of the problem; I keep having to stop and cut and then I start arranging the blocks by color and then I want to see how it will look and before you know it I've eaten another bag. 

(I mean I've sewn all the little blocks together and have nothing for L/E's again.)

And I've just printed out the directions for the 10th block for LCQA.  All morning I would say to myself that today was the day it would be posted and then I would say oh wait, NO I think it's not until next week...I was wrong ...and right....

my stupid silly computer won't recognize my printer cable AGAIN.  I feel like ripping my hair out.  But that would hurt real bad and not help with the printer issue.

I did download another audio book from the library today and now I'm wondering if I had troubles last month after downloading a book.  (I know they're probably not related in any way but when you're techno-challenged you will grasp at anything!) 

Speaking of audio books.  The last one I downloaded I never even got around to putting on the Ipod for listening to and the one I got today Water for Elephants I put on the IPod but can't get it to work.

I NEED MEGHAN!!!!

OK... I'm OK now.  I'm going to run down to the store for something chocolate(perhaps M&M's???) a few errands and then go back to my sewing room where it's safe and I know what I'm doing--at least most of the time.

March Flimsy



Serengeti Dance 73 x 76



I loaded this on HQ (whenever I type "H-Q" I think "Harriet Quigley" I don't know why) so I guess that's her name. HQ for short!

I'm doing an all-over 'stylized swirls' ala The Pajama Quilter.  So Fine thread in top/ Bottom Line in bobbin. 



One Block Wonder #2

It measures 72 x 75.  I'm going to just look at it for a while before taking it down.

On my design wall this week is the same OBW quilt.  



I finally finished Tisket Tasket quilt. 

One Block Wonder with cubes

  The center is done just need to sew on the borders including the top left side with the break out hexagon going through the inner stop border~that should be fun piecing and cause me a couple of choice words! 

OBW #2

Is off the wall now. 

 I'm playing around (in my mind) with border ideas. I have a couple hexi's left over and would like to put them in the borders. But I don't have enough of the dark brown batik I want to use for the inner border, I need to get to a quilt shop and hoping to go tomorrow.  

Oh as I was writing this I remembered that The Quilt Co. is open until 9 pm on Thursdays....it's only 6 here now and a 35 min drive...c-ya later alligators!!

Design Wall Monday (week 20)

The wall is basically the same.

I'm still sewing the rows of the OBW #2 together.  I do hope to have this together and off the wall by next Monday.

I posted a picture of the original fabric here.

To see other design wall's go to Judy's.

And have a great week!

Design Wall Monday (Week 19)

The One Block Wonder #2 will be on the wall until I have all the rows together. I will do that this week in between all the other stuff that is going on.

Over the weekend I finished the binding on the Many Thanks quilt.

 It needs a label--and I can make one now using EQ6!  woo-woo! 
Check out other design walls here.

One Block Wonder #2

This is the finally arrangement for the OBW quilt, the 2 cubes in the top right stick out more in the photo than in "real life". I played around with having the cubes stick out in the border, but after much back and forth and messing around I really felt it distracted from the body of the quilt.  The colors in the picture are not true and look drab in the photo, they are not and I almost left the cubes out as well.  Now the nerve-wracking part of sewing the rows together without getting any of the hexi's out of order, my technique is slower than what the book says and the class instructor taught, but it works for me (so far).
