I FINALLY got my Men at Work quilt top done and even got it pinned today! I started this quilt 2 years ago at a quilt retreat and got all the blocks made and the blocks pinned into rows. Then it sat. And sat. Last Jan at my sewing weekend with
Linda and
Laura I got all the blocks sewn into rows and a couple of rows sewn together. And then it sat, and sat and sat! So last night I hauled it out and got the top done! I went to sew with some friends for the day today and there was a big empty floor - perfect for getting it pinned! So it is all pinned and ready to be quilted! I"m a very happy girl!
The block is really called "Darting Birds", but doesn't it look like those Men at Work signs when you turn the block the other way!
And look what I got in the mail today! My friend Linda G. found these and sent me one - just because! Wasn't that sweet! And isn't it cute! It is by
Cherry Designs.
I'm off tomorrow morning to sew, sew, sew with Laura and friends! Sossy and Linda will be there too! It has been a few months since I"ve seen Laura so I can't wait to see her - we have so much to catch up on!
I still have all my packing to do, but I know what I want to take. All except some border fabric I need to fix a project I made last year and pushed off because I had to do a ton of ripping (I spent 2 hours last night doing that) and then fix it. And can you believe it - I can't find the fabric!
I did get the binding sewn down on my Men at work and washed it so it is all soft and wrinkly. So that is all I have for pics today - but I"ll have lots when I get back!
