As I always do, when making a quilt, I draw my project using Electric Quilt 8.  I choose colours  of fabrics, similar to the ones I use in the quilt, and then let the software calculate the actual fabric used.  Since  my Hunters star was made with string blocks, I was shocked at how much fabric I used in this project.  It certainly used most of my red and cream leftover fabric strips!

I decided a long time ago, to count the fabric as used, when the quilt was totally completed!  Sometimes it seems like I am not working, but I sew every day, if only for a few minutes.

Since finishing the last 2 quilt projects, I was asked to help out with some "community quilts" for my guild.  We have many people making blocks and quilt tops, but few volunteer to machine quilt!  I picked up 2 smallish quilts that were already pin-basted, completed the machine quilting, then added the binding and our guild label to each.  I also added labels to 2 more quilts, and will deliver them to our convenor this week.

My guild is trying to plan for a quilt show next year, after having it cancelled twice.  The topic of our boutique was discussed, and the fact that we had workshops for those wanting to make items for sale in the boutique.  Next week we are having a Zoom sew-day, and this time, everyone is to be working on an item of their choice.  We will be asking members to lead future boutique days, with a planned project to share with others each month or so.  Since the vaccine distribution is very slow here, we may be postponing the show for another year, but we are hopeful that things will progress faster soon.

I guess I better decide what I'm making for my boutique item this week!!!!

 BTW, I updated the "Quilts 2021" page with pictures and information about the projects that I have finished this year so far....
