Oops, I totally mised posting yesterday. By the time I realixed it I had already collapsed in my recliner with a binding to stitch. Here's what absorbed me the last 2 days. Over 45 yards of fabric to dye! I let them batch for 24 hours and will wash it all out tonight.
Once I'm done with a little computer work I am going to finally get this quilted loaded onto Willie to start quilting and
then I am going to get this project packed up for Sewing Saturday with my quilt guild. It all goes to plan I will have another veteran's quilt top complete! I'm reserving Sunday to be a sewing day all day....after I do the garden chores. What do you have going on for the weekend?
I don't think I've ever done more than 4 or 5 yards at a time...can't imagine doing 45! You've got a good system set up.
We're re-doing our deck this weekend...I'd rather be sewing, but it will be nice to get it finished.

There's a local quilt show this weekend. It's only on every 2 years so I'd love to go, but I'm not sure I can do it just yet. Such a shame as I'd love a little quilt therapy!!!

Ha! Well I'm certainly not going to be achieving as much as you!! Cleaning out cupboards is my chore, not even sewing ones either! I'm working through all the little stashes of junk my family has stuffed out of sight for the last seven years (since we moved here) and trying to get rid of things they never even think about!

Working again. We had someone quit at the hospital and I was the only one left to take her weekend (for overtime). Hope they hire someone soon, as I am tired and I would rather be quilting this weekend.

If I can get off this computer I will be in the studio. I am working on completing the BOMs I started last year. Somehow I completely fell down on that job and I really wanted them. I also will be pulling fabric for my color challenge this month. I have designed a table topper using Carol Doak's 8000 member block.

Is that a sauna you are batching in? I used to batch out on the back porch when I was in business. It was hot for 9 months of the year so I used the sun to heat it up and then the cement kept them warm all night.
