Yes, Libby was whining today that I didn't show what I worked on this weekend yet. So this post is dedicated to Libby. She wanted to know how she could copy me and add my projects to her list if I didn't share!
Well my first project was fixing the piping I did on this quilt top which I made last year on this trip. I spent 2 hours ripping it out at home before I left. Then worked Thursday afternoon and night "redoing" the piping and the outside borders. Needless to say, it looks worse than it did before I fixed it! So I think it will stay the way it is and just try and quilt up the slack in the middle. How you do the piping is really cool. I used the Piping Hot Binding method. I think the problem was all me - not the method!
The other project I worked on this weekend was Michael's Victory by Carol Hopkins. I love how it turned out! Now I just need to figure out how I want to quilt it!
I also made myself 2 new pillowcases - just for fun!
And then I worked on some more "Follow the Drinking Gourd" blocks. Only 13 more to go. First I have to find some more fabric that works with this!

You have been busy doing good work! I need to stop touring quilt shops so I can start sewing together all of my treasures! Everyone seems to be getting a lot of sewing done this winter.
I love the Carol Hopkins quilt, and the drinking gourd blocks and your piping (sorry that was a joke!) although I don´t see anything wrong in that piping at all. Take care.

The "Drinking Gourd" quilt is fantastic. I love those colors! Your work is always inspiring :)
