I have been able to sneak in a little bit of quilting Wed. and Thurs. evening this week---Deer Camp (March's UFO task) WILL see a finish either tonight or tomorrow.
...with loads of quilts awaiting borders and quilting right behind it.....Therefore---I have decided NOT to travel down to my parent's this weekend for the annual "Rummage around Stratford" weekend; 100's of garage sales around the town my parents live in.
Instead---I'm devoting my weekend (or MOST of it) to quilting!!!! Anyone up to the same this weekend??? Wanna join me???
Another project screaming at me from the back burner is Hannah's Rotation. Award's Day is looming closer and closer, and I'm not sure this baby is gonna make it on time.... Boy, I need a magic wand for this one!And as badly as I want to jump right into yet ANOTHER new project....I just C-A-N-N-O-T!
But here is a snapshot of the pattern my SIL choose for her "floofy" quilt....and the fabric selection....
I feel so lazy right now though---I don't know if I'll get downstairs to some quilting tonight.
And have you seen!?!!?!? Amanda Jean (CrazyMomQuilts) is back! Talkin' about a motivator!!! I don't know how she does it all!
Okay---the girls just put in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" {{Cassie ADORES the "original"---specially the Oompa-Loompas}}, so I either need to mosey downstairs right away, or I'll be 'sucked' into the movie!!!
Happy Friday!
9:30 pm update
Grrrrrrr!!!.....
I was doing SO WELL with the Deer Camp quilting. Then......brown thread ran out. I am completely EMPTY of any shade of brown.....
**sigh**
I guess I need to make a quick run to town tomorrow so I can finish it up and get it off the frame. In the meantime, I cut some borders for American Classic, which will be the next quilt to be loaded in the frame.
Again, Happy Friday!

A quilting marathon sounds divine. My own marathon will be more of a little jog around the block this weekend though. I was supposed to have my final exams turned in for approval on Friday and big happenings are going on at work right now. I don't want to call any negative attention onto myself. Still, I am going to get some done, at least practice on a pantograph and some organization. Have a fabulous marathon! It will be fun to see what you can get done when you are focused and free of distractions!
Ok, Amy, I'm up for it...I started last night and had to give up with only a few minutes left to sew on my second quilt for Judy. I was too tired to finish but am rearing to go now...I just printed out the May instructions and we'll be working on those sometime this weekend too. Go quilt girl and show us your results. Have fun! Hugs, Linda
Can't wait to see what you get done this weekend - i'll guess that you will have a lot to show us!
