almost done

I've almost got the borders on the quilt I need for Thursday. Yes!!!

I've made 2 towels and ruined 2. Not a good start, but that's OK. They were towels I had here ready to embroider. I just need to figure this out and understand why it didn't work the way I thought it was going to. I think I need 12 towels all together.

It feels good to be doing something again.

Oh, I also am using the mystery I'm testing as the leader/enders on the projects I've worked on.

Quilting again

It seems like I quilt lots and then have to deal with life.

I had a friend over last night to do one of her quilts.

I had hoped to get the embroidery work done for one I'm working on, but the machine and I were not working well together. I did get that working this morning and need to sew the rows together after the band concert.

Reversible binding

This reversible binding looks fun to do. I'd never have thought to do this, but would be great on a reversible quilt too.

Photos of quilt finishes

I finally brought the camera upstairs.

Here are 3 of the quilts I bound while DH was in the hospital.

The Laurel Birch baby quilt is not a normal baby quilt, but it will do. I had to get this one out of my house because of bad feelings about the quilt shop I took a class in.


These 2 are QOV #76 &
QOV #77.



I have the second baby quilt that I will get a photo of one of these days.


I'm now working on Ann's mystery and GS cushions.


If DS comes over today, I will get the Christmas Tree up and that will take time too.


Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had our Thanksgiving dinner a day late. But we had all the family here.

Binding

Well, I finished the last of the QOV's at the hospital today. I have the quilt in the washer, so I don't have a photo tonight.
I don't have any more QOVs left, so I'll be waiting on them.
I even worked on the yoyos for the table running I was doing for the past few years. I don't care to do them, but worked to keep myself occupied while DH was being seen for kidney stones.

Ann's NYE fabric choices

I was asked to post my choices for the NYE mystery that Ann is doing for her groups.
So, here they are. I think I will like this fall quilt. I'm making the larger size and testing the pattern for Ann.

Baby quilt finished

I got the baby quilt bound, labeled (thank you, Vicki) and washed. I delivered it to the delivery point and it should be off to the new owner soon.

Panels are such fun to play with and a quick quilt to make.

Today I'm cleaning house for the arrival of DH tonight and then trying to play with Ann's mystery to figure out what I'm doing. I didn't have much time this week to do my enjoyable things.
Enjoy the thanksgiving holiday. I'm so thankful for all of you, my quilting buddies.
