Progress is being made!

I can strike the donation quilt off my list - managed to get it quilted, bound and washed yesterday afternoon.  FMQ continuous lines through the blocks - quick and effective for covering large ares quickly.

  And then I got started on the baby quilt - a Disappearing 9 patch, made using the charm pack of It's a Hoot, I won from Kaelin over at The Plaid Scottie.  Added a few extras from my stash, and got all the blocks done, and laid out.  I'll look at them for a while, but will have it quilted and bound by the end of the weekend.

I love it when things come together!  And a three day sewing retreat this weekend - wahoo!

And today I had my amazing friend Laurraine from Patchwork Pottery came over, and she was helping me re-organize my sewing space!  I love it!  Still sorting and organizing my fabrics, and no pictures right now, but I have floor - and room for my design wall!  Yayyy!

Happy quilting!

    Wow, you have been busy. My chatity quilts are still a way off being finished, but at least the longarm is not covered in work any more, so I can finish them quick. Great work
