My guild opportunity quilt is coming along. My friend Barb said she’ll put the borders on as soon as I get to that step. Hopefully this week I can get all the blocks completed and pass it on to her for the borders. 🙂

What a great time we had at our annual mystery lock in. Everyone seemed to like this years pattern. We named it Hawaiin Dreams. Here’s mine done with a dark background.
This is Sharon’s, done with the light background.
Susan got a lot done on hers.
Show and tell was good. Lots of ladies brought in last years mystery, Summer Breeze. I took pictures as they walked around the room.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Our mystery lock in is in full swing today. 54 ladies busy sewing, eating, talking and having fun!!
A few ladies have a block done and hung them on the wall.
It’s always fun to see all the different colors they choose!
More later…….
Theresa
More blocks are done!
I ‘m back to working on the guild opportunity quilt. I have 1 block made, 11 more to go…….ugh!!
I had a heck of a time getting the pieces to go together to fit onto the embroidered block. The seams aren’t matched up correctly on the block, but what the heck!! The blocks done and I’m not taking it apart again!! LOL!! Once it’s done, it shouldn’t be noticeable. And if it is just don’t look so close!! LOL!!!!!’

I worked in getting more of the opportunity quilt done this week. I have the whole center done.
I worked today trying to figure out the measurements on the rest of the blocks that go around the center block. I thought I had the right sizes but, no, when I made a block, it was off! Ugh!! Then my sister came by and stayed until it was time to go drive the school bus. Once I got back home, my husband decided to take me out to dinner. Finally this evening, I was able to get back to the quilt, and wha-la! I got the sizes figured!! Yea!! Hopefully tomorrow I can get a few blocks sewn together. I think the quilt is going to be beautiful! I hope it sells lots of tickets…… We’ll see….

I’m almost finished with the quilt on Millie. All I have left is the outside border. My customer likes me to use a high loft poly batting in her quilts.
The quilt on Viqtoria is getting a cute daisy panto on it.
That’s it for now. I’m hoping this evening I can find some time to work on my guild opportunity quilt. It needs to be done in April……ugh! LOL!

Last month at my guild meeting we had a demo night and one lady was showing how to make the fabric bowls. I had never been interested in them until I saw how she was doing it. I decided it looked like fun! So now I have the rope and I’m ready to make me a bowl……..
we’ll see how it turns out!! LOL!!

Update- got one done….
That was fun. I just did a small one.
Sometimes the back of the quilt looks as good as the front!! LOL!! The back is sateen.
Here’s the front. I showed the center a few days ago. My customer picked it up today and loved it! That always makes me happy!!
I love filling those odd shapes with feathers. Can ya tell!?! LOL!!
I finished quilting my lock in quilt today and I’ve got the binding sewn on, now just need to turn it over and stitch it down. Yea!!
That’s it for now!

Wednesdays are my days that I try to show what’s on the machines. Today almost got away from me before I remembered! LOL!!
I finished this one this evening on Viqtoria. It’s Bonnie Hunters scrappy Bargello pattern made by my friend Vicky.
This is the one on Millie. I have the center done and the pieced border is quilted. I’m going to add more feathers in the space around the center design. As you might know, I love feathers!! LOL!!
Ok that’s it for now. Have a good one!

I spent today getting the last of the borders put on my lock in mystery quilt. It’s
now done and ready to be quilted!! Yea!!! Sorry I can’t show more but it IS a “mystery” and this is the whole quilt!! LOL!! Too bad it’s hanging on a hanger….. 🙂
I’ll let you see the whole quilt after the lock in on March 9th. I hope the ladies attending this year are happy with the design.
Now I have to get back to working on my guilds opportunity quilt.
