Hugs and Kisses

well my list of waiting to be quilted quilts is longer than my list of in progress quilts.  I think I need to start a couple more ;)  I can only finish quilting the baby quilt Amanda (the machine I do the quilting on) is in the shop.  She's having a spa week, getting all tuned and cleaned up.  Hopefully she'll be back soon and ready to get some quilting done.

Hugs and Kisses is the quilt that I made for my husband, it was another mystery quilt.   If you tilt your head you can see the x's and o's.  I used up some more scraps on this which was very nice.   I think I'm going to piece the back together as well.  Some flannels would be nice and cozy for movie night.

RRCB Part 6 - Done!!!

Oh I so wanted to get this part done before going back to work tomorrow and I did!!  My sister left early in the morning so I had no helper today and I felt it!!  That was a lot of sewing, ironing and snipping today.  And I'm now ready to go back to work tomorrow.

What a wonderful Christmas

My sister was in the Chicago area from Florida and we spent time catching up with each other in the sewing room.  Yep, she helped me with a couple of projects which was wonderful!!

The Snowman collector quilt has moved from the projects in progress to the waiting to be quilted list.  Hugs and Kisses, blocks and sashing complete, just need to finish the border.  And I made a bright and crazy ironing board cover.  I love to iron on that, just makes me smile every time I look at it.

On my last day of sewing before heading back to work tomorrow:  hugs and kisses, would be great if I could get that one on the waiting to be quilted list, and working on  RRCB.  What are you working on today?

Wishing everyone a Very Merry Holiday Season

However you celebrate, I wish you peace, happiness and good health!!

600 HSTs done!!

I finished the 600 HSTs for RRCB, holy smokes those went really fast.  I hope the next batch for a different project goes just as fast!

Thanks to everyone for the input, I went for Gold!  So I was thinking while I was trimming up those squares....there are 600 HSTs, there are 60 string blocks.  10 HST per block, 5 fit on one side and then there's that little solid square for the corner....maybe???  Oh and I sure hope we are done with the neutrals, I'm at the bottom of the barrel with those!  Santa, are you hearing this?  I need neutrals :)

And I also designed the black white and red quilt for my son in-law.  I am really loving the black and white string blocks so that's what I'm doing.  I'll add some more red to it than what shows in the picture and the red will be brighter.  Should be a lot of fun.
