I am going to try after church -so it will be afternoon. Have a counted cross stitch partial top from a friend
that I plan to make a small quilt --cutting is done so it's doable. Thanks for the push as it's raining anyway.

I'm in! Working on an applique pony quilt for my DGD who will be 4 on Thursday and need to get it finished asap. I'm not even through with the appliques. I'm getting off so I can get busy. I'll be checking in during the day!

Oh how I wish I could, I have my quilt all ready for quilting - it will be my first to quilt myself and try out my new Dreamweaver sewing machine. but family Birthday's will keep me from quilting I am afraid, unless it is much later tonight, by then I am sure I will be too tired. Grandbaby has had me up since 5:30am. She got in ants yesterday and bless her heart her feet and legs are covered in bites. Horrible looking and the itching woke her (and me) up. Y'all have fun, I am jealous.

Here is what I have done so far this morning. The snowflakes are going to Elisabrat for the Christmas tree she is putting up in a nursing home. There are 24 in all, some are on white sparkle organza with yellow/gold thread. The others are on gold sparkle organza with gold metallic thread. I can't believe how well they stitched, with no thread breakage problems. I think it is Madeira metallic, know it is NOT Sulky.[ATTACH=CONFIG]369593[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]369594[/ATTACH]

I'm having a quilting weekend w/my cousin, SIL, and niece. We will continue today. We are making the "Pure Comfort" wraps (link posted here, of course) for an assisted living facility where my SIL is an occupational therapist. There are some residents that don't have anyone or don't have anyone that troubles to visit. We are making 12 of them for Christmas. From yesterday, we have 3 tops almost done. I will be quilting them on the frame today, while the others piece. Hope to have 6 tops completed today w/3 of them quilted and bound. It will probably take at least one more weekend to complete.

I'm back to check in...I have to take frequent breaks when I'm FMQ a big quilt. I've done a dozen or so blocks and need to stretch my neck and shoulders... So, I took a few minutes to put a layer of spray paint on the dowels I'm going to use to hang a couple of these: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ml#post5584410
It's great to see so many here to today, and what a wonderful variety of projects we are working on!

I'm in-doing a baby quilt for a friend who just found out her and her husband are going to be Grandparents-and got a presentation pillowcase done to be included with my "Quilt of Valor Quilt" to be sent out tomorrow to one of our Wounded Warriors in Afghanistan-it was requested by the Chaplains over there-so proud of our Men and Women serving in our armed forces, and just wanted to thank one of them-this is not going to be my last-a long armer in Michigan did the topping and might I say she did a beautiful job, I did the binding yesterday and washed it to go out tomorrow. Happy Quilting Everyone.
