Sharron got this top put together and I pressed it for her. This is the 1600 quilt made with the strips. Instead of using a jelly roll - she just cut up fabric. |

Ronda got her over sized Hopscotch quilt together. |
Mary worked on some bags and hand embroidery, Katheleen was working on a couple of projects as well, including Circle of Life. And lots more, but I didn't get pictures of everything. My silly camera is on the fritz. Sometimes it take a picture and sometimes it doesn't. It appears the AUTO FOCUS is the culprit and I can't see a flipping thing to focus it manually - should I put my glasses on or off. Either way the pictures were blurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also managed to get some work done since the girls were not that busy with pressing. Oh crap - OK - so most of them pressed their own stuff.

Got all the blocks completed for a Hopscotch. I haven't rearranged these yet - just threw them on the wall. |
BUT - look what else I was doing................

Remember my neat tray for the enders and leaders project????? Well - look at this compartment. It is getting empty. I decided instead of adding these to the HUGE collection I already have, that I would try to find something to do with these right away. |

SMALL!!!!! |
But I love working on stuff like this. I hope I have enough pieces to make nine blocks. I don't think so, so I may have to make up a few more pieces to get my nine blocks.
After the class yesterday, I was trying to find that small embroidery hoop that I have used in the past. I've looked EVERYWHERE. Well not everywhere obviously since I can't locate it. Then I went into another closet and found this.......................

AHA - the case that I USED to use for handwork - maybe the hoop is in here????? |

Oh - lots of hand work supplies and even a PROJECT, and YES - there was a hoop in here. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now it is on the hook with the rest of the hoops. |
I mentioned the other day that I had to buy some thread to finish a quilt. Well ME being ME doesn't just buy thread - I buy THREAD.
This is the brand of thread that I started with on my long arm. While it isn't as fancy as some of the other threads, I am GUARANTEED that it works perfectly (well not guaranteed - but I KNOW) that it works perfectly in the machine and I don't want to fuss with the tension. And not only did I need this one colour, but I was getting low in a couple of others and still others that I was missing.
