Progress and Patterns

I have been getting those tops taken care of!  I have three quilts ready for binding now, and one quilt literally in my machine halfway quilted.  To be honest a lot of my quilting time has been stolen lately because I've been doing stuff in the yard.  My hubby nearly cut his finger off a couple weekends ago so he has been a hand down and we have SO much work to do that I've been doing the labor.  Things hurt. I'm too soft for this stuff but its been happening.  And I have a farmer's tan. 

Recently during a rainy spell I was allowed to stay inside and fart around so I started writing patterns for a rainbow quilt along I'm hosting with my Facebook quilt friends.  This will be our.....fifth quilt along!  We started about a year ago....I just love this group.  

We are swapping rainbow fabrics- each of our eight girls are purchasing fabrics in one color... cutting them up, then sending them to me to divvy up and mail back out.   I wrote three patterns for the swap, but I'll just be hosting the chevron quilt along... the pinwheels translate easily enough... and any other lady that wants to use her rainbow squares for something else is welcome to.... I just get sick of the math.

 My local quilt friends and I went shopping last week to get started on our rainbow shopping.  We went to The Bakery Fabrics.... which is about an hour away, but always worth the drive.

 I may or may-not have picked up these little packs... Not sure what I'll do with them yet... I just wanted to play around with them.

 Sewing night was super fun as I got my rainbow squares cut....while enjoying a root-beer float!

 So I'm going to get the quilting on my row along finished up while I wait for these rainbow squares to come trickling in.  

Now that I laid the pathway in the backyard maybe I can be less of a landscaper and go back to cooking cleaning and quilting.
