In Full Force Again

Everyone arrived safely this morning and has had their heads to the sewing machines.  

 

Carol has returned this afternoon and vows not to go to bed tonight until her pickets are on that quilt!  If she happens to fall asleep, I believe the quilt fairy will be visiting!

What a great thing to awaken to a finished quilt in the morning.

She has been on this project WAY TO LONG!!!

 

Loraine has quilted a table topper

 

 

Tackling the binding another day!

 

 

Margaret has been working on catching up on several Block of the Months.

 

Women of Courage is done

 

One block of Freedom Rings is done, but she has set the rest aside to do her

 

Chocolate Covered Cherries block

 

This was a pristine kit that was lost until this weekend.

It was finally found along with several other mystery kits!

Whew-Hew!

 

She also did one Freedom Rings block, but set those aside again to do her

Farmer's Wife blocks due on Monday.

 

 

Me~

 

I am caught up on my Women of the Bible blocks.  This is a weekly on line group I belong to.  We get one block every Sunday (54 blocks total).   But you know us quilters, we can't just do what we are supposed to-I need an additional 46 extra blocks to make the quilt I designed.

 

So, whenever we are given alternative blocks, I'll be doing those as well.

 

I finished 7 blocks last night and this morning for this.

 

 

These are 6" blocks.  The one on the right has 69 pieces-YEAH!

 

The block in the upper left was my nightmare last night.  With only the computer to draw it out on and no printer, I was old-schooling it for a pattern.  Turned out really good by the way.

 

Also got the first block for "Our Town" block of the month done for show and tell on Saturday.

 

 

 



This will start in March if anyone is interested.

 

Ready for dinner!

 

 

PS~Carol Update

 

Attention:  We have pickets!!

 

Blocks for this were our 2008 Dressed to the Nines Blockswappers.

Another UFO bites the dust at retreat!

 

 

Finish one-start two

Isn't that the rule?
