update

My plans for my handwork are:
1.    Take the signature quilt with me to bind a. DONE
2.    Take a hand quilting project that I don’t like doing to try and finish. IN PROCESS
3.    Take the extra yarn to make more of the scarves and finally get it all used up
4.    Take the bonus hst with me to press and trim.  These are normally my summer project and maybe I’ll have enough 2” hst to finish up the next border on my bonus triangle quilt. IN PROCESS
5.    Take some applique blocks with me.  I still need to pull the fabric and trace the wax paper to get them ready.
6.    Take a couple of books to read.
7.    Take my graph paper and colored pencils to dream
8.  Handwork on thread catchers

crazy time

ON the road and can't seem to get in here very often.
I did make some thread holders and as soon as I find the cord to download the photos, I'll post a photo of the 4
I'm working on hand quilting a small table topper.
I bought some things at a quilt shop and shot my numbers for fabrics, but I guess that means we need to sew more and faster.

BATIK QUILT

It almost doesn't fit on my design wall.
This one I've been working on a long time.
I have one border on and will end up binding it in the teal batik.
Hope this one gets done sometime soon.
DD says she likes this one.

Small quilt group

I started off showing off my signature quilt all bound and ready for use.
I like it. 
Next I worked on that pink and green quilt that took over my design wall.
I am not sure it is the right size, but I do like it.
Now to get it quilted and bound. 
Lana was working on this quilt.
Setting on point and moving with it takes practice and time.
These are normally not my colors, but I like this quilt.

Little more done

well, the day did not go as planned, but I did find time to sew two more rows together.  
I have one more to go and then I'll put the second half together.  
I know I will need to make it longer, but I'm not sure about wider yet.
I think I will do more pink.  
This has turned into a green quilt and Mom would like more pink
I might make some smaller churn dash blocks for the top and bottom.
I'm sure it will talk to me.
