Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Projects that need to be finished, insert wild, mad maniacal laughter here! I am not EVEN going to attempt to list them all! And if that squirrel is not careful.........hunting season opens SOON here for 'em!
Amy, survey says, banquette first = MORE fabric storage, LOL! Why does one project always lead to a multiple domino effect?
Denise, Ewww, ouch! Soooo very sorry to hear about the shot(s)!!! Best thing you did was put that block aside and go on to something else! Sending you hugs and best wishes on the PM!
Sandy, the lists in my head need heavy duty organization!!!! I keep envisioning a well ordered filing cabinet but it never works! Sorry to hear about you Lil Sis' quilt, isn't that the way it always seems to go?
Fran, it was blistering hot here yesterday with high humidity, so naturally I stayed in the sewing room, LOL, nothing else to do, kicks dirt, while whistling. :D
Alta, man you sound like you're over run with the furry rodents. Made me tired just to read that! Whew, you need to unfocus and play girl! Seriously!
Today is wind down and prepare for the schedule thru Saturday. My Evil inner twin is pitching a wall-eyed fit over it, but one cannot go to work nekkid. Then a whole blessed 8 days for ME!! Anyway, between a few errands, laundry, more practice. I'm hoping by the end of the week to be able to actually put the sacrificial JRR tops on and begin medieval torture on them. Then on to real projects!
JRR tops (2)
Flying Dutchman
Second monotone
Big Star
Sticks and Stones
4P Frenzy
I get brain freeze just thinking of the future binding! Thank the Good Lord the others ones are just large lap quilts!!

What needs to be done.... too long to list, shame on me!
Ta-da! Finished the shower gift for this weekend. I am on a banner kick, they are fun and quick to do.
Can you imagine spools with sayings like...."get it done", don't procrastinate, clean the room! Naaah, me neither!
Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Carrie, I'm weird, but like to bind by hand....send them here, but I can't promise when you'll get em back.
Fanning Sonic to wake her up.
Cathy, I could use a banner that says "Git er done." LOL Love what you have been doing.

Our temp table is already doing a fab job bringing eating time and fun time together. Must get back to my m*!Attachment 117527
Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Ah, Amy, too cute. Mom and DD can create together now in one place. No more excuses now to finish hand work while Sophie keeps you company. LOL
UPDATE: Worked 30 minutes down in the sewing room and I'm out of gas already. Put up the table for 3 machines, swept the whole floor (with a little help from Andy), found several cat toys stored under dressers (from little helper) and got sidetracked with all the stuff that used to be in the windowseat (now banquette). Needed to escape before the squirrels attacked again.....this is my safe place. lol

Hello WIP gang........I still need to take pictures of the zombies. So hot this past weekend & trying to stay cool so I won't have a coughing fit.....but I'm feeling better. :) I do have all the blocks sewn for the batik quilt and started sewing blocks into rows. I'm not leaving blocks up on design wall..........afraid of a surprise visit from the person it's for. So I have them in folders by rows.
Need to get a few groceries and then back to sewing.....hopefully. :icon_wave:
Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Would someone run over here and look in my left ear and see if they can catch that squirrel that seems to be running around in there and tickling me constantly. And, while you are at it, I have spots before my eyes (remnants from my eye injection) and have been working on some polka dot JR strips . . . going crazy(ier).

:icon_woohoo: Now this is the part I really enjoy, finding the right fabric to go with a pattern. This will be Jinny Beyer's Echoes pattern done is a cool colorway, like my Fire Reflection quilt, but with one more row and column added. Her pattern calls for 8 fabrics but I am using 10 because I like the balance better. I laid the fabrics out in the sequence they go in the pattern to make sure I had enough contrast where they will merge together. The quilt is tentatively called Ripples.

Re: wip 9/8/15 Just a spoon full of projects!
Talking about squirreling... This is what I came up while making inventory:
Sandwiched quilts that I need to FMQ:
Blue 4P baby quilt (40" X 40")
Blue Spiderweb quilt (80" x 80")
Purple Katie's quilt (60" x 80")
Hope Cove (48" x 48")
Finished quilt tops:
Repro Carolina Chains (I think it is 72" x 72")
Grand Illusion (80" x 80")
Sets of blocks waiting to be assembled:
Monochromatic logcabin blocks (would like some more for a larger quilt)
Extra blocks from Grand Illusion's border (thinking of alternate blocks or sashings)
Little monkey blocks (just cut the strips for the sashing)
Happy Blue blocks (trying to make up my mind on the layout)
DHG2 SWAP blocks (different blocks sizes to match)
Jamestown Landing units (just finished sewing together the HST's unto Broken Dishes)
Hand sewn hexi project
I also remember having seen a top center waiting for borders as I was looking for the Spiderweb top (which is now basted and waiting for FMQing).
I am really loving your blocks, Denise, I am wishing you relief in your health issues. Cathy's banner for Olivia is supercute, as are AmyR's banquette and playmate.
