Quilting With Friends!

All things scrappy, bright and cheery!

12 machines humming away, 12 quilters chatting up a storm and design walls full of inspiration - everywhere you look!

The November Quiltvillians are having a ball - and their excitement is contagious!

There is a very scrappy 16 patch going on one half of this design wall, and the other shows a Bitcoin quilt under way.

Do yo have one in progress too?  Sew much fun!

Everywhere I look there is something to catch my eye!

Jamestown Landing in progress on this side of the room -

Ands another on an opposite wall -

Great minds think alike!

The pattern for Jamestown Landing is in my book String Fling.  Have you started this one too?  It's time to pull it back out and make some progress!

Allietare in gorgeous greens and purples.  Ooooh!

There is a whole lot of fun happening in this corner!

Grassy Creek is growing in this corner!  Lovely!

There have been several top finishes -

This one is so much fun and is going to be donated in honor of a friend who loved Las Vegas.  What a great way to honor her.

That double Charlie Brown stripe is so captivating.  Someone is really going to love this quilt.

I finished this job for my Triplet blocks!

(Block info under the Addicted to Scraps column above)

There were a whole mess of dog ears trimmed, and units were carefully spin-pressed so they will nest with the next units when they are made.

Friday unfolded into a gorgeous afternoon, and by the time 3:30pm had rolled around, there were only 2 quilters left quilting in the Quilting Quarters - I could smell the chili gently simmering in the crock pot, the enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen.

7 had taken a road trip to Wytheville for some quilt shop wandering, and a few others had gone down to Round House Road to walk along the river.

All was well, and I was hammered for the day - so I headed home.

Some rest time, some dinner time, some tv time with binding - topped off with a bit of chocolate ice cream for dessert to go with the tv watching, and off to bed.

This morning - 7am.  Still dark.  I told myself this is the LAST morning that it will be that dark at 7am.

Time change tonight for those states that do the time change. 

"Fall back" used to be a favorite when I was a teenager.  I could never get enough sleep.  Now it is a struggle not to wake up at the same time, with the clock readying 5am instead of 6am with a groan.

But I'm looking forward to the mornings being a bit lighter and brighter from here on out.

As we go into Saturday - can you guess what is next?

Quiltville Quote of the Day -

Letting go has always been difficult for me, but I'm doing it. 

⁣
Sometimes it is harder to move on than to stay put and just deal, but you have to KNOW when it is time to make the choice and do it. 

⁣
So many lessons!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ⁣
