No finishes but lots getting done



I wanted to stop in to let everyone know I'm still sewing up a storm. In the last week I made one quilt top from Turning Twenty Again. All it needs are it's borders and then the quilting and binding done. I picked up the border fabric yesterday now I just need to put it on. I also have been working really hard on one of my UFO's. This is ready to have the backing pieced and then I can put it on the frame and quilt away. I have the bindings made already for both quilts. I just keep on sewing as if I'm obsessed. The next project up is a scrap quilt which will be a first for me. As soon as I get the cutting directions I'm ready to cut and start piecing.

The picture is of the UFO done completely in Southwestern fabrics. I bought this fabric 10 years ago while on a trip to Arizona to visit my sister Karen. Jen and Mike were engaged and I knew I wanted to make them a quilt for a wedding present. They both liked Southwestern colors so I chose these to make an unconventional double wedding ring quilt. I had purchsed so much fabric that not only did I make the wedding quilt but I had tons left over. It sat in my stash for years and since my bedroom has a somewhat Southwestern theme I decided to use it for my quilt. The flying geese panels had been made and just sitting so the other night I dug it all out and didn't go to bed until the top was finished. I promise a picture when it's completed with quilting and it's binding attatched.

Tomorrows the Big Day

Tomorrow is the big day that Jen and I go to Iowa to see Michelle and her husband Louie. I"m so excited. All I have to do tonight is make the backing for the quilt that I'm taking along to quilt and pack up my sewing things. I"m not sure what time we're leaving because Jen and Mike are at the ball game tonight. Then it's one trip to Walgreens to pick up some more insulin for Murphy and I'm ready.
I'm not sure what time we'll be home tomorrow night so if it's late I'll post how our big adventure went on Sunday. I'm definetly taking my camera along. Oh I need to buy munchies for the road too.

So, until next time all of you have a great day tomorrow and think about us........


Look out Michelle HERE WE COME...........
