    I am in the final stages of hand quilting my hexagon quilt. Having a difficult time with the quilting along the edges of the quilt. They don’t quite fit along the floor frame, so I have taken it off. I thought it would fit on a small lap frame leaving the one edge free, but NOPE. I am trying it without a frame. SLOW process. When I really, really want it to be DONE.

    I’m sewing on part two of a quilt for our double bed. I sew two parts to make it easier to quilt before sewing the parts together.

    I was just up at Glacier Natl Park a couple of weeks ago! It was WONDERFUL (my first time to MT). I’m sewing up Christmas gifts earlier this year than last. 🙂

    Hey – lookie on that Sweetwater – its my good ol’ Ohio! Yay! I saw the Mama Said Sew on Intrepid Thread Coming Soon page, it’s a good one – I’m looking forward to seeing some of it in use! As for me, my Spunky 6 year old goes to school on Wednesday (hallelujah!) so I just might get some sewing done (assuming the toddlers take naps at the same time)!!!

    I’ve got a bit of catching up to do this week and then I see something else I want to try! (:o)
    I’m shooting for the quilting and binding of at least one quilt for the Blankets of Love Foundation and if I’m really lucky I’ll pin and quilt my GGA quilt plus help my little guy and his quilt project for his Dad’s birthday. Good thing it’s 3 months away!
    Thank you for the chance

    Looks like you had a great holiday! What fantastic scenery!
    This week I’m hoping to complete a couple of zippy pouches and I’m still trying to choose my colours for my ‘Groove’ quilt!

    Thank you for a lovely giveaway. I am hoping to finish a hexagon craft bag for myself. I recently made 2 for friends and decided that I could do with one too.

    I am working on a table runner for my sister-in-law. The sweetwater is lovely.

    I need to re-organize my sewing room so I can get down to some serious sewing. First up are pen rolls! I love the projects from Sweetwater. Have some of those on the docket, too!

    This is the first week of school and we are after school kid-sitting two grandnieces 2 days a week. The oldest is learning to sew, so we will sew. I’m starting a new quilt project and making some test blocks to find one that works. I love the jar sewing kit idea from sweetwater.

  25. Cecilia August 20, 2012 at 8:22 pm #

    I hope to finish quilting a kid’s quilt, work on a raffle quilt, and work on my Famer’s Wife blocks. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I am cutting out blades for a summer Dresden quilt for our bed. Just finished my Log Cabin quilt & it is on the bed now.

    I’m just starting to play with a stack of smallish hst’s that were left over trimmings from a wedding quilt I completed this summer. They’re so cute. I’m guessing the newlyweds will have a baby within the next year or two so it can’t hurt to have a baby quilt for them tucked away in a vault.

    My kids just started school, except my oldest. He is getting ready to go on a 2-year mission for our church in Guatemala, so I’m spending this week trying to get the last minute details done for his trip. Maybe I’ll be so busy with preparations that I won’t have time to think about him actually leaving….

    We are busy helping our oldest daughter pack up for her first year at college…this is so hard! Also have a tshirt quilt in the works for her dorm room.

    Thanks for a fun giveaway!

    I am mid way through cleaning up & re-organizing my sewing room. After that is done I’ll be making myself an Amy Butler Birdie Sling bag. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

    You have been so busy, as always! I have some quilts that I need to bind.
