Hello. We are in the final days of our annual quilting week. Are you having fun? Did you get much done? Did you spend more time with your quilting than usual?
It's not over yet. Even if you don't have time to sew or even cut fabric, you may enjoy shopping for supplies, or reading a quilting magazine, and dreaming up a future project.
Here's what I've done. On Tuesday I met with my QOV Bee and we put together a top and backing for a sofa size quilt. I made a few blocks and some kits for future QOV. Early in January, I organized and cut lots of fabric for the queen size quilt for 2010 Relay for Life Quilt Drawing. I gave kits to helpers and sewed a few blocks myself. I continued cutting the alternate blocks at home. Yesterday several of us assembled the rows, and joined most of the rows. (Next week we will finish that and add borders.) Other than that, I sewed some blocks for my bee, and made a bunch of yo-yos. Finally, I've supported the Quilting Industry by ordering three yards of fabric and a book.
It has been a fruitful few weeks and I am motivated to keep up this level of quilting activity. How about you?
Pat in Virginia PS: I wanted to make a little purse on Wednesday, but my DS came from out of state to take me for dinner! Okay, he was not far away on business, but he worked the trip so it would include my BD. We had fun .... I love surprises and he sure surprised me! I will try to make the purse in the next week or two.
