quilting away

I'm chipping away at all the things I must have done this month.

I quilted one of Lana's quilt. I did a modified feather/swirl in the center of each block and then a loopy border. I am not sure I like the loops, but the feather/swirl is cool.

I did clouds on the flamingo wall hanging. This is for the woodland oaks community room where we hold our small group.

So, now I need to finish one more of Lana's quilts and make 3 for me and quilt them. Time is running out.

I still need to sew on the binding on 3 quilts, but they are ready to do that with. maybe I'll do that for the next 30 minutes before I go get DD from school.

I'm making progress, but not quick enough for me. LOL

Another QOV quilted

OK, I have all the QOVs quilted that I have in house! That is a wonderful feeling.

I am now going to quilt the love quilt that is long overdue. I hope I can get this one done quickly and bound. Need to get the label stitched out.

QOV quilted

I am trying to quilt these QOVs and get them mailed out.

This is QOV#88.

I have one more to go and I can start on some other quilts I need to complete.

some progress

I did get to quilt yesterday and today. Very little stash used, but at least I am having some wonderful therapy. This is a love quilt that started out as a pink quilt and now is more purple. I'll be quilting it with purple thread. Hope it will provide some comfort. This will be a stash buster, and a UFO finish.

I quilted two (2) Quilts of Valor (QOV) quilts. 2 more to go and send off. I'm loading a third tonight. Might not get it quilted because there is a storm brewing here.

I will have another QOV coming on Thursday from someone else.

I did some testing of embroidery a cute little goldfinch, a fun flamingo.a fun bread basket, a pie plate that I can't seem to get to turn the right way, a honey pot, and I made 2 heartstrings labels.

I stitched out 2 labels for friends.

Here is a heartstrings quilt that I made for the Wilford Hall maternity ward for high risk pregnancies. Such a sad time in a woman's life, and maybe these little quilts will help her move on. I just need to put on the binding. I need a photo of the boy heartstrings I made with lime green centers.

This is a photo of DD Singing and Stringing in the Park on Sat.These activities are what are taking up lots of my time. I love it!

Sunday accountability

Been busy with other things the last 10 days. Boy is the end of the year a busy time for PTC, Girl Scouts, and school. Yikes!

But, I'm finally trying to get some things accomplished.

I did put together 3 quick wall hangings for DD's teachers during teacher appreciation week.

Fabric usage goal (100 yards)--(57.09) yards to go
Fabric Added This Week -- 0 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date -- 20 yards
Fabric Used This Week -- 1.27yards
Fabric Used Year to Date -- 62.91 yards
Fabric Used this month -- 1.27 yards
Net fabric used year to date: -42.91 yards

Judy is having us do the check in again this year. Accountability is a good thing!

Wall Hangings

It was teacher appreciation week. I'd not finished all that I wanted, so I had to stay up late last night and finish these 3 wall hangings.
Hope the teachers use them in their classrooms.

It's been a busy week, but not very much quilting to report.

My new baby

Well, I had so much trouble with my old (3 years old) embroidery machine that I decided to upgrade. This is my new baby. Isn't she pretty? I should be playing with her, but I fell at the store and I'm in so much pain that I can't even think. But, soon, I will be able to play and have lots of fun.

If anyone needs any labels of something done, let me know.
