Come close. . . I have something to share. I AM GOING ON RETREAT! I can't wait! So the next few days will be spent cooking for Hog Man, packing up projects, doing laundry, etc. etc. I am taking a UFO to complete and one project to begin cutting out. And who knows I may take the Dresden Plate quilt to do a little hand quilting. I need my therapy! I have less than four blocks left to do. Then the outside borders. I'm still deciding what I want to put in the plain off-white border. Hmmmm! I am really liking the
chalk cartridge pens. The chalk stays put pretty good but comes off easily once the quilting is done.

Remember this one? |
This is the UFO I am taking. It is from 2009 and
Judy Laquidara's Star BOM from that year. I have to complete the ribbon border and all the outer borders. I am so wanting this DONE and out of the tote. Stay posted. Once it's done I think it will be my next hand quilting project. I got my new
thimble in. Love it! I never thought I could get accustomed to using a thimble but I have. I don't quilt without it. I just wished the leather wouldn't stretch : (.
Happy quilting and blessings,
Well going on a quilt retreat is just the ticket for just about everything, so go and have a blast. I love your quilt, it's beautiful. Did you know that Judy L and I are friends and used to meet up for lunch before we both moved to different states? We met on a quilt message board long ago and ended up becoming friends IRL. Amazing how the internet opens so many doors to so many friends. Have fun, girlfriend! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of that thimble. I've tried several and just can't get used to it.
