Working on several quilts; batman, minecraft and a log cabin quilt.
Several UFO’s on my sewing table — first is the stole for a friend soon to be ordained.
I’m working on a Row By Row quilt (for me!). I am using kits for most of the rows (not so much stash-busting happening).
I am working on a quilt for my granddaughter it is her favourite colour lime green, I am using four different patterns with white on black for contrast material. Wish I could upload a picture! I just have to baste the layers then quilt and bind
Awe – lime green! That’s fabulous Judy. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Kim
So my husband wants the windows in the garage doors covered. He thought I would love to make some quilts to cover them. Really?!?! So I using up all the remnants I’ve had for years and know I will never use. Strip piecing and straight line quilting. Fun fun !!
Husbands! That is so funny. The garage will look better after you are finished with it. Kim
I’m making a tote bag for me to use on my vacation next month. I’m using a thrifted pair of jeans and some lining fabric from my stash.
I’m currently working on a birthday quilt for one of my grandsons. It’s all blue batiks from various lines of fabric.
I’m working on a quilt for a new granddaughter that will be born in October. I’m using Sweet Marion by April Rosenthal. The pattern is disappearing pinwheel from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Yesterday I finished cutting out all of the 1.5 in strips for a King sizes Bargello quilt. There are a lot of strips. It’s a Wedding present for my brother. I am late of course, he was married in June, oh well.

Today I’m working on a raffle quilt my quilt group at church is doing to raise funds for our new fellowship hall building project. It’s being made from Kansas Troubles fabrics from my stash. Hope whoever wins it in the drawing the colors as much as I do.
Thanks for your comment Debby. Please show us with you have the raffle quilt all done. Bless you for working for charity and a great cause. Kim
So, I’m working on a table runner for a birthday gift for my older sister. Had trouble with the quilting (problem with even feed foot) and had to unquilt it. It looks better the 2nd time around!
So you re-made the whole thing Rochelle? Yikes! Good for you. Best of luck in the contest. Kim
Went to a short quilt class today to learn how to use my new Pineapple Trim Tool. We made PP blocks (pineapple pumpkins).
I am making Hexi Hot Pads, getting head start on Christmas (TADA!) lol… Am using mostly scraps..no particular Collection…
I’m making mini design boards using foam boards and batting.
I am working on a guilt for my newest Grand daughter. I am using flannel and embroidering the squares.
Thank you so much for your comment June. Nothing is better than a new granddaughter. Congratulations!
Hope crocheting Dishrags counts…carry this project in car..lol I try to keep a stash ready to give as gifts..with dish towels with a scrappy trim strip by hem 🙂
Am also making bibs, and a baby quilt…for soon to be born nephew! 🙂 Also scrappy..but flannel..from making Jamm’s for Kiddo’s & few Grankiddo’s now too.
Last night, I finished printing my USA map to begin a queen-sized quilt. I also purchased fabric for a couple states although I may need to re-think one of them due to the size of the fabric’s print design.
That is amazing Lorraine! That is going to be amazing. How are you going to make it?
I joined US Map Quilt Fabric Swap on Facebook and posted pictures of fabrics I thought others might be interested in. This morning, I sent fabrics to eight other members, and I’m in the middle of conversations with about a dozen more. To say I’m overwhelmed is a gross understatement! I plan to cut fabrics in the shape of states and applique them to a background fabric. I haven’t decided whether to add the Canadian provinces to my map yet. I may just have lost my mind!!!
I think it’s amazing Lorraine. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Currently picking fabrics with the Grangirlie, to make a quilt for her bed…will be a Disappearing 9-Patch. She is leaning toward Me & My Sister’s “LOL” collection 🙂 Definitely suits her too! Lol.. Fun & Happy!!
Lori – that sounds wonderful! So cute. Don’t you love working on Kids Quilts more than anything else? Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Good luck in the contest.
Grangirlie & I are starting to cut the fabrics for her quilt..and did decide on “LOL” by Me & My Sister.. 🙂 We are both excited…
I am currently working on folded star potholder to have a few ready for when I need a quick gift.
I’m doing a 100 modern blocks challenge from Tula Pink’s City Sampler book. I have 78 done, and I am using scraps and stash fabrics.
Wow Verna! You have 78 blocks finished? That’s amazing. Thanks so much for your comment and your contest entry.
I am almost finished with a table runner from Quilt Minnesota 2015. The goal is to finish before Quilt MN 2017 starts on 7/28. Just need to quilt & bind.
