It's raining, so I am not going to play golf.  Instead, I am going to be binding one big quilt, and four little quilts.  Yes, I have been doing a little quilting this past week.  If I get my binding done, I will finish a mini quilt for a swap!  Don't know what's for supper.  But, I will figure out something.  Got any good recipes?

PS  I should mention that the big quilt is Jen's and one of the small quilt is made of clipped corners of blocks for her quilt.  Pics when finished!!

I finished my February Small Quilt Challenge today.  I had every intentions of using some red and cream reproduction fabric in keeping with Kathleen Tracy's theme of "Honoring That Pioneer Spirit".  However, before I found my reproduction fabric, I found the new Robin Pandolph fabric line "St. Remy De Provence".  I think that it turned out fantastic!

I finished my Wonky Houses and will make my committment to mailing them tomorrow!  YEAH!

There has been a building boom going on in my sewing room today.  I completed six more wonky houses.

This contractor is going to take a break and let her mind rest.  After I play golf tomorrow, I will be ready to build some more WONKIES!

I made my first wonky house tonight--only eleven more to go!  I have committed to having these in the mail on Monday February 6.

Let me know what you think!

I saw on Sentimental Quilter that Kathleen Tracy was hostessing a monthly small quilt challenge, making one small quilt a month for a year.  I decided to jump in and have completed the first month's quilt called "Crosses Mourning Quilt" from Prairie  Children & Their Quilts.  I haven't gotten mine quilted but at least the top is finished.  I can't wait to see what's in store for February!

I finished the binding on my January Schnibbles "Full House" last night.  I used Moda's "Countdown to Christmas".

PS  This quilt also counts for "Christmas Through the Year"

Do you hear the music?  How about whistles and bells?  Jen's quilt top is FINISHED!  It now moves downstairs to the quilter.

I also mailed off my Lace Quilties!

Happy week-end!

So, the big question is did she or did she not finish Jen's quilt.  Well, a funny thing happened on the journey.  I have lost two rows of the quilt, or did I ever make them?  I have been trying to clean my room and I may have put the two rows somewhere for "safe" keeping. 

I got called into work last night and took my sewing machine, fabric, iron, cutting board, etc. with me.  I then work on my quilting in between testing.  So, about 11 pm, as I am sewing two rows together, I am thinking only two rows to go.  AND all the pieces have been sewn, so I figure a piece of cake.  Just sew the blocks together and I am ready to quilt.  Now, if I can't find my missing rows, I have four rows to go!

Here are some pics of two lap quilts that I finished stitching together.  Last week I found 16 finished and leftover blocks of pink Moda's "Blush" from a quilt that I made a couple of years ago.  I brought them upstairs, added them to the pile and stitched the blocks together yesterday and have a nice pink baby blanket.

I also finished up a quilt top that I will donate to the Humane Society for their spring auction.

And finally, I stitched up another pillowcase for family.

So, to answer the question:  did she or didn't she, the answer is NO, DAMMIT!

PS  Please note that I work in manufacturing, not medicine.  No lives were in danger because I was sewing between tests!

This is one of my quilting finishes from yesterday.  Last night, I finished sewing the binding on.  And, I waited for some sun/light before I took the pic.

I took a snow day from work today.  The roads were covered in ice last night, so I decided I was staying home and let the crazy drivers brave the ice!

I have been downstairs quilting since 8:30 am and finished four quilts.  Two are Vicki's, one is mine and one for a friend.  As soon as I get the binding on mine, I will show you a picture.

I should mention that I only have one more of Vicki's quilts to finish.  And, I have two of mine.  Then, there were none!!!

Tomorrow is FNSI and my plan is to finish Jen's quilt top.  We will see how that turns out?!

FYI  Friday Night Sew In is this Friday, January 20th.  Sign up at Crafty Vegas Mom!

I just pulled my Tumbler Baby Quilt out of the clothes dryer, so warm and cuddly!  I used almost two Moda's "Ruby" charm packs.  I still have several polka dot squares left and will probably use them on my "Wonky Houses".   The backing is some left over flannel from Moda's  "Bliss".

Thanks to a post from Betty Lou, I am going to link up with Elizabeth at Pieceful Life "Little Quilt Monday". I found four leftover blocks in my stash when I was looking for something else.  I added sashing, a border, quilted and bound it,  and voila, a table topper.

Yesterday, I reduced my quilting pile by 8 quilts, although three were just mini and three were just panels that I generally quilt for to the "Linus Project".  Vicki, your quilts have moved up the pile!

This morning, I am stitching the binding on and will put them on my hand stitch pile.  This afternoon, I will finish two cat pillowcases, one more dog pillowcase (for the humane society crab feed raffle!) and work on Jen's quilt.  I am going to stitch some blocks together to see how many more blocks that I need to piece.
