Quilt in a Day Forums

Hi here I am again, I am working on a double irish chain, and am very poor at organizing and keepin organized, any good advice? Since the snow I have been sewing more, what is everyone else doing.

Been sick but hope to start sewing next week. I have several projects going and "waiting".

I have two McKenna Ryan scenes, one is almost ready to quilt and the other is still in the tracing stage.

I am currently working on my Stars Across America. I have finished the blocks (I made 2 of each) and need to decide how to join them. There is also my Dresden Plate, my fall quilt, pillowcases, a baby quilt or two, (I'm hoping) and to finish up my day and night table runner, and of course I want to start Grandmothers flower garden and I have 3 wall hanging quilts to put together-something new I have never done-add taxes and changes in watching the DGD-I am either going to get caught up or further behind. LOL

I'm working on my Stars Across America sashing and completion. Also I signed up for El's "Scrap BOM" and have completed the 3 tops, a tote from the scraps and now just need to add batting, backing and quilt them.

Looking forward to each months pattern from El, so not planning too much so I can keep up.

You really can make a Quilt In A Day. I made a Candy Cane Lane top today. My dh asked me yesterday for a quilt for a friend's daughter. He saw the CCL that I am going to show ladies how to do in a class soon, and said he liked that one. So, I made him one today. Now, find the time to quilt it. It is snowing like the devil, so IF we keep power, maybe I can quilt it in the next few days while it's too messy to go out.

Right now I'm focused on a quilt for my mom's birthday. The center is made, but I'm struggling with the borders. It's a kit, and I'm not excited about the borders. Since I can't get any more of the fabric and I've got a tight deadline (Feb 18th), I need to just get over it and slap the borders on so I can start quilting.

I'm in the middle of a couple of things - a wall hanging for dh for Valentine's Day, a couple of crafts for family members, and finishing up re-arranging the sewing room. Not too much quilting right now

I am making a quilt for my older brother. I am trying to copy Janet Fogg's "Winding Road Ahead" (it can be googled) which is a 103"x103" quilt depicting a loaded log truck coming through the woods. There is no pattern, but, while I can't design, I can copy fairly well. My brothers are all truck drivers, so if the log truck works out (and it's already half done after two weeks!) I hope to be able to adapt it to a semi, and a dump truck.

One I finish my fleet of trucks, I have two adult nieces that are begging for quilts. They're good nieces so they are on my schedule for this year, too. They won't be as big or difficult as the trucks, though.

I have other projects in the planning stages, but I think these five will do nicely to get me started!

My autograph quilt is quilted so I just need to cut the binding, sew it on and hand stitch it to the back. Then I'm making a Star Log Cabin using Civil War reproduction fabrics. And then I get to start on my Judy Neimeyer quilt which will certainly be a challenge for me. I'll be doing her Rocky Mountain Thornbush quilt. I have two other quilts ready to be quilted - a Tennessee Waltz and a "Psycho" quilt, pattern is by Brenda Henning. I think these will pretty much keep me busy thru the end of the year.
