Hidden Wells

I spent from 7:30 am to 4 pm at the hospital today with Dad.  He had a dye contrast CT scan and then 4 hours of fluids.  After that we went to see the surgeon.  Surgery is next Thursday.

On a positive note, hidden wells is finished.  Everyone loved it at the hospital while I was doing the binding.  I got asked if I quilted for others and then I was asked if I sold my quilts.  Basically, my answer was no.  I actually said it!  LOL
DD is going to be upset with me when she sees how messy her room looks in the photo.  Might help?  Probably not, but a Mom can dream.

To Do update

Well, not a bad weekend, but not a good one either.  I lost a day and part of another one because of my sleepiness.  :(
I've got 3 tops ready to quilt, and think I have backings for all of them.  I hope.
I have all the other smaller items to finish up, and get the quilting done.  Maybe I will have some time this week.

done 1. Put borders on the patriotic star quilt
2. Quilt the patriotic star quilt

8. Sampler Society Block #9

I have something new on my design wall.  You know that pink thing on the design curtain?  Well, it is now on my wall.  I have some pinwheels I need to finish up and see what else I need to do with it.  I think this will be another one of those gifts I need to have available.



Hidden Wells

I finished the hidden wells top.  I hope to have enough of the red as the backing.

Whimsical Garden

Of course, it is upside down, but here is the next Whimsical Garden block.

Design wall Monday

Ok, the photos are bad.  I used my camera on my phone and I don't know what I did wrong.  But, you get the basic premise of my design walls.

My curtains have the same quilts as always on them.  I have 4 more of the flower named blocks to do and I can put that together. 
The scrap hst project has 4 blocks at the top, I think I only added a couple this week.  I've used other things as leader/enders
The pink one is not moving at all.  I really just need to make those pinwheels and have some fun with it.

Hidden wells will be worked on today.  I worked on the other project on the design wall and finished the top this week.

Thanks to Judy's design wall Monday, it holds me accountable.
Go check out other quilters and what they are working on.

Update on list

Not a good photo, but I have the borders on the patriotic quilt.  For some reaston I decided on the blue inner border instead of white, and I like it.  I have the backing fabric for this one, so that is good.
Update on the weekend listing.  Not a very good coverage, but 2 of the list is done.
I might change my strategy and not quilt anything, but just make the tops and backings to make sure I can quilt them as soon as I can -- next 2 weeks.
