Is the 4th of July one early or late? LOL Sounds like you have
been busy.

I found a beautiful new baby quilt at a thrift store with 9 large
embroidered blocks, each with an animal on it. The embroidery is
splendid, the sashing and quilting awful. It was 5 or 6 dollars and I
thought, I'll buy it and take it apart, salvage the animal blocks and
re-make them into a new quilt. So, Iast time I was in the sewing room
I started to take it apart. Then a virus of some sort hit and I've
been down for the last several days. How frustrating, to want to sew,
and not feel good enough to do it!
I had finished up a cute little baby quilt for my hairdresser with
lots of little zoo animals on it in a nine patch pattern. I took it
to her the beginning of the week before I got sick, and she was so
thrilled with it. I don't know who got more satifaction from it, her
or me. I kind of think me. Donna

The 4th of July top was finished summer before last. I got it layered
about about half-way quilted and then other projects got in the way
and I just haven't picked it back up to finish it!

I just finished a twin-size Tree Everlasting quilt top, plus backing. It
just took four days and is very pretty, so I'm feeling clever! I just
finished cutting the patchwork for a matching pillow. I'll buy the batting
and start machine-quilting on Monday. (I have new presser feet!)
The infamous satin-and-taffeta quilt top remains folded and waiting for my
confidence to quilt it. I will get around to cutting the backing soon.
I have pulled out some floral and solid calicos for ironing and starching,
and will start cutting it for a full-size quilt in a Churn Dash pattern.
I'm debating whether to sash it.
I have stopped working on the sampler I started a while back. Too many
gumption traps.
I have calculated my fabric needs for a king-size Welsh quilt with a Brecon
Star medallion. I was trying to buy the fabric on-line from JoAnn today,
but the website glitches nearly drove me to tears, so I've put it aside for
now. Maybe I'll shop for fabric on Monday, if Hobby Lobby has a good sale
and/or coupon. I just can't face any more websites right now.
I have started calculating the fabric needs for a full-size St. Louis block
quilt. I am really intrigued by how this block looks when pieced. And it's
all easy strip-set piecing (famous last words).
Too many projects? I think not. I keep thinking about what an RCTQ
participant said a while back about having various projects going all the
time, each at different stages, so when I'm feeling down I can pick up
whichever one I feel like focussing on to forget my woes.

I'm in the midst of a little session of hospital and hospice quilts.
I'll be seeing the co-ordinator on Thursday, so I have had to speed up
production (the meet-up wasn't planned! I've done on, and am hoping for
four. They are unpieced - just panels or lovely fabric.
