Back in Action!

 Fall is almost upon us and it's time to

 get back into the sewing room.

The design wall was home to an unfinished I Spy

for a bit of time over the summer.

Now it's time to get moving.

First is changing orientations of a few blocks. 

Some of the teddy bears were standing on their heads!

                                                         

Then it needs sashing.

Lots of decisions available,

and of course, I went with blue.

For a quick pull off the shelf, it was perfect.

There's even enough to do the binding.

It's going to be left open-ended with 

no sashings on the top or bottom. 

The binding will close off the rows  

to make it look finished.

I should finish 48"x 58".

The work room is fully loaded with things to do. 

Two little cats are waiting to be paired with our mates,

and stitched together into a smalltop.

There are 23 of these legacy cat blocks so maybe 

sashing or some alternate blocks may join them.  

Another duo is waiting for binding.

Both bindings are ready and 

will probably be finished up an upcoming Zoom .

Stay Safe and Sew on!

What's up next?

 There are a number of tops on the quilt rack and 

all except one still need pinning. 

I do feel a pinning day coming on.

Fortunately, I've had quite a few requests for a quilt lately

so I have lot of homes for them.

Coming up I have two weddings,

one Outlaw request, and two adolescents who keeps stealing

their parent's quilt and would really like one of their own.

One wedding is very close so I will take a completed 

quilt from my quilt closet for the gift. 

The decision was easy, 

as it is the only large enough. 

I like queen sized for weddings. 

This Crumby quilt, will be perfect.  

It does urge me to make some additional 

large quilts to have on hand for gifting.

This one comes in at a nice 87" square.

Usually I try to have the wedding 

gifts professionally quilted,

(my imposter syndrome is showing).

This one ticks all the boxes so 

it will get wrapped up to go to 

the wedding in 3 weeks.

The rack tops were all measured and 

they are all large twins. 

I think the next queen quilts will 

again be scrappy.  A friend follows

the RSC blog and uses the monthly color draw

as a star or square in an ongoing quilt.

I think that's a good process. 

I'll jump on that bandwagon real soon.

I do tend to repeat my favorite patterns.

That would allow me to make as 

many scrap Stars as I want.

Here are the family Christmas 

gifts from past years. 

I am excited to see these 

coming up again in the workroom!

Look at This Quilt Rack!

 Since I had to measure my quilt rack tops recently

 to see if I had any queen size ones

I took the opportunity to take pictures of everything,

and here is what's waiting to be pinned and quilted!

There are two more items buzzing around the room .

It's going to be a busy fall!
