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!

Back from Away

 Well, I have definitely been away for a while,

Here are a few hints on where I've been!

Yes, it was amazing an amazing trip.

Definitely a sampler of all" over the ocean" has to offer,

We are still a little bit jet lagged 

but back to basics and everyday life.

On with the quilting! 

Today, after finishing up the mending,

I'm starting to quilt the little "Eye spy" top and 

 the goods are waiting in the to be quilted pile.

As my walking buddy said,

That will give me the bes feeling of progress

to get me back in the flow of quilting.

Here is the pile.

And here's the quilt first quilt going under the needle.

It is already have completed . 

I ran out of time pretrip.

Lots of packing and luggage weighing was happening.

The back is pieced

and used up more of the flannel basket.  

Have a great week sewing!

I think he looks concerned?!)
