Not much sewing going on around here lately.  I've been working on a mystery at QATW and am close to being finished with the top.  Most of last week I was in Tallahassee with Heather apartment hunting for her.  Will write about that in another post, otherwise my top would be finished.  To see how others are doing check out Judy's blog

Have to brag on a friend....

A number of years ago Quilt Lover's Hangout here in N. Fort Myers, FL had a BOM and it was houses with different smaller blocks inside.  Well mine is started and the blocks are not all made, however Robin finished hers!  And she entered it in a local quilt show up in Tennessee and she won a Second place ribbon in her class!!!!

Here is her quilt!

Makes me want to dig mine out and work on them....not this week!

My helper.....

It's a good thing I like Heather's cat or else he would end up in the pool one of these days!  This afternoon I thought ok let's play with the Lost Sock blocks, so off to the bedroom I went.  After a little while Eddie came in hoping I was taking a nap, and discovered he could help me with my project.  He has such good ideas...UGH!

Design Wall Monday - March 28

My design wall is very busy this week.  No I do not plan on finishing all these projects this week, month or even the next couple of months.  I just want to work on them little by little and having them up there reminds me I need to put in time on them.  Some are items on my UFO list I want to have finished this year, some are just things I am working on block by block.

The top row is the 2001 Squishie Quilt and I have gotten some sashing sewn on and really want to make some progress on this as it will look fabulous on our bed!  Below that are some of the socks from the Lost Sock Swap hosted by a wonderful lady named Mar and the blocks that are up were made by her.  To the right of them the top block is from The Farmer's Wife Sampler and below it is a Dear Jane block, both of which I am slowing plugging away on 1 block at a time. Below DJ is some of my Summer Ribbons, I need to start on block 2 so I can start putting these in strips.  On the bottom is Debbie Mumm's Santa Sampler.

To what others have on their design walls go over to Judy's 

Week 13 - 2011 Stash Report

Ended up attending 3 quilt shows over the past 7 weeks and bought fabric, totally blew it.  You can see the pictures here  I hadn't totaled up my stash report since week 6 and figured I was in the red, so you can imagine my surprise when I finally did the math and discovered I wasn't!  In between shows I have been working on Farmer's Wife Sampler and Dear Jane blocks and am making slow progress on those projects, along with knitting some dishcloths.  Want to see how others are doing go over to Judy's and check them out!  Now onto my report........
