What's on your cutting board??

My friends in Hawaii have just had twins( a boy and girl). I thought I would make eye spy quilts for them since I have a lot of fish/marine material. Here is the first one withaout the borders. I'm not going to put batting in them, just back them with flannel. Now I wonder if I can talk DH into delivering them in person.....

Check out my sewing machine. I'm in a hurry to finish these 2 7/8" log cabin blocks for my "Quilt Walk" quilt. (Pictures will come later.) I want to take the finished quilt and other parts with me this weekend when we go to Willimsburg for vacation. I'm running out of time.

Yes after you look at my mess, don't you wonder how I get anything done??? What's on your cutting table??

What's on your cutting board???

My cutting board is FULL! It is an antique drafting table that is huge and very high, which is wonderful for me being so tall. It has an antique cast iron from that is very unique and it tilits if you need it to! It is wonderful for cutting, sleeping (Missy and Big Boy, my sewing companions), stacking, displaying and just plain dreaming of quilts to come!

Here are more photos' from our Wednesday night sewing group.

This is a quilt that Shannon is appliquing on to her border. Lots of patience required, but totally awesome!

Kenda and Shannon are doing beautiful wool applique. We are all jealous.

MaryLou brought quilts that she has made at previous Quilt Walks. Above is her Mexican Star and below is her Purple Mountain Majesty
It's fun to see what everyone has done!

Mary Lou's quilt projects

These are two of Betty's projects. She is like the Energizer Bunny. She never quits.

On the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays, you will find me down at the Senior Citizen center with a wonderful group of ladies who bring their projects and sew for a few hours. It's the end of a busy day and what a perfect way to unwind. We all have lots of ideas and lots of projects that we are working on. The Quilt Walk's theme this year is "to stash or not to stash . that is the question" so... many of us are working on down sizing our stash! I say "working on" in an abstract way as our stashes are extremely large and will take major over hauls to see any difference in them. We always show what we are working on so here are a few pictures of tonight's projects.

Mary Lou is one of our teachers for the Quilt Walk. She will be teaching a Beginning Piecing class along with Roxanna. They are really fun and have great ideas to inspire and help beginning quilters.

There are so many fun ideas out there. Hard to keep up with them all!

Here are two pictures of our statue. The first is the minature, and the second is the lifesize face. It will be a full size man throwing a fullsized quilt and walking on a fullsized quilt. It's truly awesome!
