I've been working on my Smith Mountain quilt...

 This is the quilt that I started in a workshop with Bonnie Hunter earlier this year. I now have all the star blocks done. (12-red and 16-black)
Next I started counting the chimney blocks and found that I had only finished half of them. So, now I am working on the next 14 blocks to get the total 28. After that I cut out all the tri-recs for the pieced border. (94 each of the three parts) Whew! I am looking forward to a break in making Bonnie Hunter quilts. I love them, but they are very big on hundreds of small pieces. Hope you are having a productive quilting weekend.
Next big project for me is helping my daughter find an apartment in Macon, GA.

Pictures...

 This is Sandy's travel quilt. The block she made is called the "contrary wife".
Here is a full view of Carolyn's beautiful quilt, thanks to my helpful/favorite daughter (Bonnie)
I am going to miss her help soon as she has gotten a job in Macon, GA as a Registered Nurse. She will find out at the end of this week when her start date is. On one hand I will be sad that she is moving. But on the other hand Ruby and I will get to move into her old room. Then when quilting on large quilts I can actually leave them on the machine overnight without an elaborate cat deterrent covering, cause I will have a door to close. Oh happy day!
