Quilting like a Maniac- Relaxing through Quilting.

OK, I missed August because I was soooooo busy...  Like everyone else I'm sure.  But I did complete a quilt for August. I made this one for a friend of mine, a table cloth.  No batting in the middle but I did put a backing on it, and it's very heavy, and great fabric at that. So what's in it for September?  I would like to finish my Sewology BOM from Craftsy.  All blocks have been sent out, so I can complete it.  And then for the other side I would like to do a quilt on the backside as well.  It's a lovely quilt quilt.   Here's what the top looks like when it's done.... And the back will be a surprise..  I have the iron done, the thread, the pencil, the scissors, the picker, and the ruler done.  The rest I have to complete....

With so much travelling I am surprised at how much I've gotten accomplished this summer.  Even though there has been 3 or four quilts completed (not sure at this point but the American Patchwork List sure is going down.... So lets get to it.....  I've caught up in my Quilt Doodle squares.  Here's the last three to catch up... It's looking so bright and festive.  Perfect for the start of winter.  It doesn't have to be just for Christmas.  Snow is from November to March in some provinces.  Here's the next: Anna's table cloth.  All completed.  And it's very large, 77" by 55".  There is no batting it does have a backing.  See below.  To get it together I sewed around the different edges, and new colors.  Twice on the purple around the panel.  It's in the style of the modernistic, whereas it all dots to make the picture.  But what's very cool is how I finished the edges.  I put the two wrong sides together and then turned both e

Another month has gone by and another number has been drawn for the 2018 UFO Challenge.  It's now #8.  And what quilt of mine is that one?  It's the black and white paper piece one that is only black and white to replace or go with the wall mural.  But that's not the problem, the problem is that I am also trying to complete my #9 which is the table runner for a very good friend of mine, Anna.  So now I am very much behind in this one and in all my blocks of the month.  Am I taking on too much???  You better believe it.  Here's an update of the challenge with pictures of what I have completed. So happy sewing to everyone out there.

That line says it all.  Been north in BC, been down to California through the fires of Oregon, and now I just came back from ten days in Manitoba heat.  It's been a whirlwind of activity, traveling and of course away from my sewing machine and computer. But on the positive side, I've seen a lot of family and friends, done a lot of personal business, and caught up on my reading.  I even gave four  quilts away to friends and family that I promised quilts to (see my book section to understand the last part of that statement). I also had to deal with my husband having an accident in Vegas, where he got heat stroke, fell on the sidewalk, cracked his head open, got 4 staples on his head, and ended up in the hospital.  I also had a cousin's husband end up in the hospital with a blood clot in his heart.  It's been so eventful. So what's next?  I still have to complete a quilt for Garrett and his wife, I need to catch up on the challenge of UFO's for the All P
