PattyJo Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well, here it is again, a Thursday and I haven't done anything quilty to report for this week. We've been busy getting ready to enjoy the long weekend. So what has everyone else been doing today? I enjoy reading all of the comments,looking at pics of quilts and grands and critters that are embedded in our lives. Take care all and have a great Labor Day weekend, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallyquilt Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Both my grandboys are in town for a few days and Grammie is getting a workout running after a 2 and 3 year old. Talk about endless energy and silliness! Love them so very much and it certainly will be quiet when the holiday is over. When they go down for their naptime ( and their mommies join them) I have been working on some hand sewing. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend. ( and in my mind my favorite season of autumn begins on Tuesday! Pass the pumpkin donuts!) Sally in NE Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoleneK Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 My 11 month old twin grandsons are visiting, so I'm having an awesome time chasing after them. I'm not sure if there daddy wasn't as fast as his boys or I used to be a bit quicker, but they're out running me either way:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I actually pieced a little this morning before work! I have a quilt I'm trying to get done by tonight so I can get it loaded. Still dealing with MIL. Not fun in the slightest. I called her a selfish b***** last night. Not at all proud of myself but she pushed me too far. :mad: It takes a lot to get me that mad but mess with my husband or kids and you get a major fight. New meds to deal with and another trip to the dr. I would most definitely rather be quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yesterday I spent finishing all but a border on the top of a Quilt of Valor. Today it goes on the frame with a border. OOOPS this about the baby boomers was Wed afternoonAlso went to a Baby Boomers one day function and we had a short session and gave out information about the ECA and our guilds raffle quilt which we are raffling for Helping Hands Clinc. They give a lot of care for those who aren't able to pay for a Dr's visit, or meds for the same people. We also went out to supper and then :P:P visited the kids for a while.. Bed sure felt good.

Bekah Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 With my scratched cornea the I have had to limit my quilting so took the embroidered quilt off and worked on this one. I had fully planned on doing CCs on the around the geese but as this was mostly denim and suit fabric the points were just too heavy, broke several stitches before I gave up and meandered. Customer picked it up today and was very pleased and that is all that matters. I was working on this on Thursday, just too busy to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 This should have been posted on Thursday but I was trying really hard to get this finished for my customer by Friday. I really wanted to do CCs on this quilt where I meandered but the fabric was denim and suit fabric and I broke several needles before I gave that idea up. Trying to quilt with one eye is not much fun. Thank goodness I will be back with two eyes next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ditto to all above. I love to keep track of all the different quilts and stuff that we are all involved in. Bekah, I hope that your eyes are all better soon. Awhile back, I had a burn on my eye from a grease spatter. Very painful and I had to wear a patch to keep my eyelid closed for a couple of days. No fun working with one eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
