What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 We had multiple projects come to a finish yesterday. We have found over the past few years that the quilts we have a hard time keeping up with are those that are needed by men, especially men who are/were very outdoors orientated. So we try to keep some outdoors themed quilts on hand. Most of the time, as soon as we have one of them done, it is gifted out. So our focus lately has been to get more of them done. We also have found that they are the ones that do well for selling as fund raisers ...

 This is going to be a very quick post. I only have one photo, of the finished Star Trek top. we didn’t get a lot of sewing done yesterday. Almost as soon as w got to the church at about 1 pm yesterday, the power went out. Marg had a thermos of hot water and some tea brought from her house just down the street and we had a relaxing and fun tea time. When the power wasn’t back on by just before 3, we decided to call it quits and go home. And of course, that’s ...

 I have 1 quilt top finish and 2 progress photos to share today. There are quite a few more that are so close. I hope to have photos of those next week.

And Susan worked on the last of the fabric organizing. Sharon was there as well and also worked on a quilt, but no pictures of that one either. So far the finished pieces of the Star Trek ...

 We have ourselves a couple of finishes. The Pat Speth sampler I did towards the end of last year is now bound. And the Pat Speth pattern called Balancing Act is also bound and finished. There seems to be a focus on Pat Speth designs lately.
