Hi! It's me again.

 Today was a sew day. I haven't done much lately but I made some good progress.


First I cleaned up the sewing room a bit. Then I lined everything up. Not shown above are the two projected I focused on.


I made the back for the birdhouse quilt. Loaded the quilt and got about a third of it quilted


I also finished making the Brightly blocks. This is the final layout on the design bed. Looking at the picture I should probably move a few blocks around but I'm not going to do it. It's fine.

In the past couple of weeks I loaded, quilted and bound a few other quilt tops.


The above top came from one of Angela's estate sales. I think the back was with it. Soft homespun.


Remember this fabric? I tried to use it for one of the Project Quilting challenges and didn't like the direction it was going. The 4-patches are still a little strong for the print but I like it much better. I love the soft flannel on the back. I bought 3 yards of the wide back flannel, I wish I had more. I think I have enough for one more small quilt. 


This quilt was donated to Quilts 4 Kids (along with the birdhouse quilt above). It needed a few fixes before it could be quilted. The veggie cats are thick and stiff due to layers of Heat-n-bond. I was kinda worried about quilting it but it turned out okay.

I think I've mentioned before that I'm a night owl.


After deciding on the purple, one night about a week ago I started piecing this little wall hanging about 11 p.m. and finished it about 3 a.m. It's in line on the table, so hopefully it will be quilted before Halloween.

I simply cannot type on the phone...I am back on computer. LOVE the table cloth! I just love all things fall. The birdhouse quilt is so, so cute. I think Brightly looks great. I think it is one that you could work on layout forever and they would all look good. I love the quilting you did on the 4-patch quilt.

and as I tried to say from the phone, I love the vegie cat quilt...also the black cat.
