Sew & Tell Friday #6

Another Friday!!!  At this rate, Christmas will be here way too soon.  I'm not ready.  Of course, it doesn't help that for every item I can scratch off  my To Make list, I add two or three more.



The Coin Quilt #2 top is completed.  Another grainy photo as it is dreary and raining here.  I pieced the back for this and the first one, and they both are ready to go to the longarmer.  I did not bother taking a picture of the backs.  I plan to mail these two quilts off today.  I had hoped to mail all three at once, but I think it is better to get these two in the mail.  If all goes according to plan (and when does that ever happen?), I can mail the third one Saturday or Monday.




You can get a better idea of the green fabric I used for the sashing here.  As I mentioned before, this was my daughter's suggestion, and I am so glad I listened to her ..... this time.  She has been home sick with a fever.  She is feeling so puny that she didn't even have an opinion or express an interest in how this quilt was coming along.  Poor thing.



Above is another Moments picture.  Thelma had asked if I ever slept, and someone else made a similar comment.  I have been sleeping, but I have not done laundry, cleaned my office, gone grocery shopping or other important household duties.  I have canceled lunch with friends (although today was because Ally is sick) and basically become anti social.  I really need to learn balance.

Click on the Sew & Tell Friday button and see all the finished projects.  That's what I plan to do...along with catching up on all my other blog reading and replying to emails.  Enjoy your weekend!!!!

  1. Are you nervous about sending your beautiful quilt tops through the mail? I think it is good you are not sending all 3 at once, just in case something happened to the package.

  7. Balance...when you figure that one out let me know, or better yet write a book! I had company Wednesday evening and had to lock my bathroom door so no one would see the mess I did not have time to get to. I was not willing to give up my Tuesday sewing day to clean house for company on Wednesday. Luckily the powder room on the main level was available!!

  15. What a beautiful quilt top! I love stacked coin quilts. You sound just like me...messy house, empty fridge, but I'm sewing!

  16. Very pretty! I have to admit, I almost canceled my Friday lunch plans so I can continue working on a project. It's hard to stop when one is in the "Zone".

  17. I love coin quilts! I have a layer cake of this same line, maybe this is what I should do with it!

    I have a pile (or 2, or 8) like that around my house too.
