Two quilts in need of binding...

I have the machine sewing bits done for the two unfinished lapquilts.
I've got a buncha hand sewing on tape to do tomorrow.





I also finished the first row on the Rockin Robin Quiltalong.
I'm digging the horribly bad 70s prints.





My Farmer's Wife blocks have been languishing. It's the templates. I had planned on transferring them to plastic. But my scissors and my patience ran out. I may attempt some more tomorrow. I feel like I'm falling so far behind in that one.

Please excuse the wretchedness of my pics. (Also, I took the pics after I pinned, but they have gone farther now...binding on.) I've been operating more in the "take a picture" mode than in photog mode. The photographer in me cringes.

Been cutting...

because I kind of prefer to do it in a big go.
(Maintaining measuring focus...NOT EASY.)

I've got pieces cut for The Pirate's parents (lapquilt) and pieces cut for my bestest friend's belated bday lapquilt.
I cut the pieces for the back of the batik quilt. Sewing the back and borders today. Sammiching tomorrow. I have two quilts to sammich tomorrow.
I also have to unpick some binding and add in more fabric.

I made a needlebook for a swap. I'm just not feeling like it's impressive enough.

LISTS BEING ATTACKED.

Phew...

Just finished a bunch of trees for a swap.
I'll post pics after I figure out if I'm allowed.

Onward to more quilting. Gotta sew on a border and a patchwork strip for a quilt back.
This puppy needs to be sammiched for quilting. I've got the goal of finishing it up to send off by Fri. I am thinking of also just using ties on the calico quilt rather than quilting it. It means it will actually get done this week..and it's an overdue thank you. Thoughts?

I caught up on some of my list today...

I caught up on the Skill Builder Sampler today.

Here are my three blocks:








I'm actually loving the colors and the prints more than I thought I would. (I'm using a bunch of FQs I got uber cheap at Joann's.)

I cut into my Farmdale stash to start the Farmer's Wife quilt-along.
I've cut up the pieces for a few blocks, but I only have one done so far. I think I'm going for a mix of Kona solids and Farmdale. So far at least.



I spent part of the day trying to glue the templates to plastic and then cutting them up.
Kraken had to be locked up as she was trying to eat the tiny pieces of shrapnel.
I love her but, seriously, she'd be the kid eating paint chips since she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. *sigh*

Woooo!

I finished the binding of the harvesty colored quilt. I got the quilting mostly done on the turquoise one, but I have to pick some of it out. Note to self: Don't straight line quilt when exhausted...
All the nine patches are done for the batik one. Now I just have to cut them up and reassemble.

I've got a lot of works in progress...

I've bitten off a lot...gonna try to finish a batch this week and add in the Farmer's Quiltalong and skill builder blocks as well.

Here's what I'm working on:



this just needs the binding finished.


This one needs quilting:



This one needs the back finished and the quilt sammich pinned:


This one is just begun in terms of piecing:


Yup...whole lotta work.

I need to get back to my camera...

I need to upload a buncha pics tonight...but my camera isn't with me right now. Evening time, I hope to post some up here...
A couple of quilt tops, an almost done scarf...a second that just needs to be kitchener stitched together.
Go, Crafty Girl, Go!
