Quiltathon Report – Fri & Sat

Saturday’s Quiltathon Progress Report:

I finished a top that has been in the works for a while.  Last year, I purchased four Moda Posh charm packs and started sewing them together with dark green sashings.  Then I didn’t know what to do with it, and set it aside.   Today I finished out the center portion with some half blocks, and then added the borders with some Posh yardage I found on our Seattle trip last summer.

The dark green looks like black, but it is definitely green!  Thanks to Judy Laquidara for having the Quiltathon this weekend.  It does inspire one to sew!

Friday’s Quiltathon Progress Report:

Judy L of Patchwork Times is having a Quiltathon this weekend.  I decided to make it a three-day weekend.  I will add to the beginning of this same post for Saturday, but here’s what I got done on Friday:

These are for my Bears in the Farmhouse quilt by Judy L (or Bears in the North Woods).  I needed 192 half-square triangle patches, and those are done plus quite a few extra.  I kept adding another fabric, another fabric.  I’ll be able to make a table runner or two out of all the extra stuff, as I have extra printed squares also.

Saturday I’m going to do Blocks 11 and 12 of Judy’s Star BOM, and also finish an apron that has probably half an hour of sewing left on it.  Sunday, I think I will get something on the Gammill and do some longarming.  I haven’t done much of that this winter, and I need to get back at it.  I’m going to quilt the top I made from Judy L’s Labor Day Challenge.  (I can hear you saying, Good grief, don’t you make anything without Judy?  Yes, I do, but I have kind of a Judy thing happening right now.  If she would just quit designing such fun patterns. . .)

On the exercising front, I’m hanging in there with my renewed efforts.  So far, so good. 

Oh, and this weekend I need to blog about our new club — The Broken Wrist/Arm Club.  There’s a new member.  Oh, my!!!
