Sew Much Creativity!

It's a veritable hive of quilty activity in the Quilting Quarters are Quiltville Inn!

And you guys - the laughter is LOUD and I am loving it!

The July Quiltvillians are quilting up a storm - and it's hard for me to pull myself away from things going on here and do my own work at the QPO. I have a serious case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out!) while I attend to the other needful things that are happening in my own space next door.

I've watched this montage growing -

I love free-form projects.  Crumb quilts are a favorite. And this one went from this -

To this!

Each addition made things even more fun and interesting.  I wonder if it will be together as a top by the time I arrive this morning?

I love that this crumb quilt has a basic color plan (reds and pinks) With some other dramatic things thrown in like the black.

This stack of pumpkin blocks from Punkin' Patch went from these stacks to this:

You'll find Punkin Path in my book String Fling.

Beautiful blocks in repro fabrics.  Yummy!

A rainbow top finish!

Betty got her Silk Path top finished!

Tracy has gone as far as she can go on her Big String Quartet - the remaining pieces are at home so she is on to something new:

I've noticed that there is a whole lot of autumn/Halloween vibes happening here as well.  I do love Halloween projects any time of the year - super cute!

Jeanette's Pineapples are rockin the design wall!

All of these triangles are becoming:

Stack n' Whack, One Block Wonder love!

I assume there will be more of this continuing through the weekend.  I have a few takers wanting to join me on a hike up to Grayson Highlands on Sunday - it's weather depending with no guarantee of ponies, but it's good to get outside and MOVE.

As for me - This happened!

I just love it!

And yes, there are many other things that I NEEDED to be working on behind the scenes, but my reason for pushing this through all the way to getting it basted is to free me up to work on those other things, and still have evening hand quilting time with something in my hoop.

I've got a backing - it's a cotton shirting fabric that came off the bolt - light grey with a pin stripe in it - that was a gifted fabric from another quilter.  It's going to be perfect.

Machine basting will happen!  And then the hand quilting of Baptist fans can begin.

Last weekend to save!!
