Hooked on Quilting

Hooray! I finished in time! I quilted it with circles in circles freehand, it shows I need practice! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I'm quilting my Roundabout today! I am practicing my free motion on all my Scbnibbles small quilts. I usually use the Pro-Stitcher, but I really want to practice. I'm doing circles inside circles, but not all circles are circles and not all circles have circles around them!! Will I ever be good at this? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I finished Block 4 of the Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Along! More tomorrow - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I finished the top. Will load it on my HQ16 tomorrow! So, I'm doing a retreat of sorts to get caught up on all my projects. Next: Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Along Pinwheel Party On the Road to Spring I'm so happy to be sewing! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

In between my Schnibbles Roundabout, I worked on Block 3 of the Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Along. I still have Blocks 4 and 5 to go! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I finished rows then put them together! Now, on to the border! I'm sewing the Pinwheel Sampler Block 3 as leaders/Enders. Hopefully, I'll get caught up soon! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I have this huge room above my three-car garage - the drawback is that the long side walls are sloped! What do you think of hanging all my quilt tops on them? What should I use to secure them because they will need to be hung top and bottom? What are the conquences should they hang for years? LOL - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

The blocks are finished! I might redo a few points, but I'm so close making rows. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Here's a pic of my ironing board setup. All of those drawers have a UFO in them! Guess I should have cleaned off the top so you could really see it! It's wonderful because it's rectangle rather than the ordinary ironing board, also, it's not against a wall, so I can let yardage drop if need be. Made of plywood, cut to size with a blanket and the silver fabric stapled to the underside, not too soft and stretched tightly, then stapled. I love it!! I have the Oliso iron that is always down, no lifting--saves my wrists for tennis!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I finally started again on my March Schibbles. I've been away, but now I have a few days to just sew! Bad news is that I cut the entire stack of creme squares not exactly square! So I have to re-cut every single one of them. Can you say? Duh! I bought an Angler 2 to sew these rectangles and I made a sampler to be sure I knew what I was doing. One down... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Sorry, I've been away from my blog, I've been babysitting my two-year old grandson at my house and he's been keeping me very, very busy. I had no idea that I wouldn't even have a minute or two to check in for so long. Tomorrow, I'm going to return him and help out for a week with my other grandson, but at his house, so I don't think I'll get anything done there! See you soon. I'll check in when I can, but for sure by next Sunday.

What do you think? Ready to sew the rows! The Quilt Along is finished, but I got a late start and am coming along, slow, but sure. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I bought Anina's kit for the Pinwheel Party because I've never dine black either!! This is a corrected block. Don't look closely at my points. LOL - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I didn't pay any attention to the creme background and some were sewn to the wrong side. Sigh. Actually, I wasn't too happy with my scrappy look so while I took apart the creme, I picked a more controlled 9 patch for the center. Better??? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I've joined the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch Quilts. I've gotten Block 1 finished today!! Wow! I do love this Whimsy fabric!
