Thank you for again hosting this VQW!! The main thing on my plate is binding a charity quilt that will be displayed at church NEXT Sunday. It's been hanging around for a couple years now. Haven't done much sewing in the last couple weeks as I have had company twice and son and DIL coming in on the 20th for Thanksgiving. Haven't seen them in over a year and a half, so anxious about that. I'll post a pic when I finish the binding and decide what else to work on.

I'm loving all the pics!
Unfortunately, I'm not off today. However, I AM getting to "work from home" (dial in on the computer) so I won't have the commute to deal with, so I may be able to participate a little today, more tomorrow, and some on Sunday.
I REALLY have to complete the quilt that is on my frame by Sunday night. It is the "challenge quilt" my longarm group does each year. I'll post pics ASAP once I finish. Fingers crossed for a REALLY productive day tonight and tomorrow.
Thanks for hosting this - I'm hoping someone will do another over the "Black Friday" weekend, and I will NOT be fighting the horde of shoppers that day!!

I'm going to be starting a retirement quilt for the receptionist in our office building. She's retiring mid December and I mostly have weekends to quilt so I need to get moving! Fabrics are ironed and laid out and ready to go and I put most of the stuff from Quilt Festival away this week. I'm ready!

This is my layout of the children's sampler quilt I'm making. I think I'm going to make sashings out of purple and cornerstones of bright green. The quilt is a bit orange-heavy, so I'm hoping the sashings help balance that out.

That's going to be gorgeous, Thimblebug
I'm working on finishing up the first of the collaborative pieces that I started with another artist this past summer. It's taken me a while to figure out how to put it all together into a coherent whole that's ready for hanging, but I think I've got a plan I can work with--lot's of thread painting.
