My southern quilting group is having a pillowcase sewing day for Ryan's Cases for Smiles.  I picked up fabric for them last week and used it right away.  We have 2 members of the local branch coming on Wednesday, and lots of non-sewing volunteers to help pin, turn, press, fold, pick up and deliver pillowcase parts to keep the stitchers busy.  I'm taking my serger to provide a clean finish to the final L seam.

I have finished the quilt top for my granddaughter - Hallowe'en all the way, but have to find a backing so I can start quilting. 

I also completed the quilt top for my "52 blocks in 52 weeks" project with the block patterns provided during the past year from the Canadian Quilters Association.  I think this one will wait until we return north in April, as I have fabric available there for a backing.
Since I only claim yardage for finished projects, I can't take credit for the two quilts yet!

My Bernina is going into the shop for its annual spa day, and on Thursday DH and I are heading to Daytona to attend the AQS show again this year.  We are visiting friends as well - they are staying in the area for a couple of days.

 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Hope you are spending the day with those you love.

 DH and his band were entertaining at a local seniors' residence, helping them to celebrate an afternoon full of love and music.

I spent some time on the final stages of a year-long quilt project!

I completed my quilt as your go, reversible table runner.

I had used this pattern before, but this was the first time I made two colour binding.  It went on like a dream!

All the strips were from my strip bins, and ranged from 2 1/2 inches to 1 inch.

I also completed the baby quilt that will be given to our community manager for her new baby boy.  I provided the constant blue in each of the blocks, as well as the border and binding fabric.  Another member donated the batting, and after I pieced the blocks together, a group member stitched the two borders on.  I machine quilted, and hand stitched the binding while watching TV with DH!

Now back to Hallowe'en!  I'm piecing the final border on quilt number one......  Then I'll have to start quilt number two!
