I'm working on a charity quilt that my Bee Friends made for the Lydia House in our area.
I am adding the borders and then I will quilt it.
One other thing to do today is go to Sew Kind of Wonderful blog.

Tuesday's progress...

I finished the quilting on this quilt guild charity quilt.
I used the Angel Wings panto by Jodi Beamish. 
Next quilt on Ruby is a quilt of Valor.
 this is the QOV it is three blocks by four blocks. I quilted some free form fern shapes on it.
I learned this pattern from my friend Susan and I think she called it a fiddle head fern. So tonight I will add binding to these quilts.

Design quilt frame Monday...

I started quilting this charity quilt today late in the afternoon, so I'll have to finish it tomorrow. The only other things I got done today were chores and setting up a portable stand that I am going to use for a design wall. I plan to use flannel to show quilting samples on as a design wall. When customers bring their quilts to me I can hang their tops up for viewing.

Where did last week go....

I have been busy planning for a class with Priscilla Hair on Tuesday March 13th. It's called what can you do with a nine patch block ?
Chipper helped pick out some boy fabrics to use. I'll make a charity quilt from what I learn in the class, then when I see how I like the technique, I will make something for my self. 
 This bag of fabric came my way by a Friend who's Friend was cleaning out her sewing room. There are flannels and children's prints that will make great backs for charity quilts. I feel so lucky to pass these on to some great causes.
My other distraction, other than the kitties, has been deciding whether to go on my friends Quilting with the monks retreat in Jerome, Idaho (May 7-11) and on to the HMQS in Salt Lake City, Utah (May 10-12). I finally decided to go, so then I had to find a plane flight and decide what classes to take at the show. I am almost done with all the planning and will get back to quilting this week.
