Back from the beach!

Good Morning quilting friends,
I missed my usual Tuesday post, but this time for a good reason.  My husband and I spent a few days at Hilton Head enjoying beautiful weather, golf and long walks on the beach.  We decided to go after Labor Day to avoid the end of summer crowds and had a great time.  I didn't take quilting along, but did take a knitting project along to work on in the car....it is a new project and this time is for myself...a wrap in a very simple pattern made in handpainted mohair.  I think it will be ny new take along project.   But, I have made progress on my hand quilted project and am almost finished with the quilting on the Moda Stars quilt on the quilting machine.   I have two borders to do and then binding.  Don't think I will have it for this month's meeting, but by next guild meeting for sure.  I am then going to do a cuddle quilt and see if I can do feathers on the quilting machine.  The next big project is a Christmas quilt that I have had  for at least 10 years.  I finished the top at Bethelwoods last year so quilting is all that needs to be done.  I think it is doable don't you?

I am trying to make sure that I spend some time every day on one of my projects.  It is helping me to stay on track.  I also took a look at my quilt to-do list and I am making pretty good progress there, but the list is long and I have a way of adding to it!  One of the things I may tackle is to rearrange my sewing room.  I think if I change the direction of how my cutting table sits I may be able to get some extra room to move around and won't feel so cramped. 

Hope that all of your projects are going well...would love to know how you are progressing on yours.
Until next week,  keep on quilting.....Vicki
