I got my Marvelous Mini Monday Mystery from Temecula Quilt Company on and off the frame yesterday.
Here's a picture of the flimsy that I finished this week:
I had planned on working on this customer quilt on Tuesday and Wednesday:
When I took a photo of it (like I try to do to all quilts before I quilt them) I noticed that one of the blocks had an oopsie in it. Two of the yellow HSTs are turned the wrong way. I contacted the customer and of course she wanted to fix it before it was quilted. I dropped it off. I'll schedule it on the frame on another day. It is a beautiful quilt! It was a block-of-the-month project at one of the local quilt stores. The customer thanked me for finding the error before quilting.
The weather here has been anywhere from the low 60's during the day to 81 on Labor Day. It feels more like October 1st than September. This customer quilt is next on the frame:
I'm caught up with Clue #2 of the Sapphire Stars Mystery Quilt that Kevin the Quilter is so graciously leading. And it's exciting to me that I found Clue #1 and put it with the Clue #2 blocks!
I got a lot of hand work done in my to-go bag. Here's the baby quilt I've been working on:
I finished Homestead Harvest (pattern by Kim Diehl.) Read all the details here.
This was my second needle turn applique project that I carried in my to-go bag. I'm working on finishing the other project soon.
I decided to set my September OMG goal to finishing this huge king-sized quilt. It was part of the Spangled Stars QA at Susan's blog, Quilt Fabrication. It started April 30, 2015. Time to make a back and get it scheduled on the longarm. I think I'll quilt this with Circle Lord swirls. I haven't finished any of my own quilts with that giant template board lately. It's quite popular with my customers.
When making the Welcome Home Sampler, see details here, I accidentally made the wrong house block twice because I didn't turn the correct page. I ended up with just a house block. I decided to put a border around it and make it a wall hanging (or mini). I will cast it unto the to-be-quilted pile.
Whew! I feel like I really accomplished a lot this weekend. We even made time for the waterpark.

WOW, you have been busy -- but then when I saw your WIP list I felt so overwhelmed for you! YIKES! You are brave to even write that all down. It's like a Quilting WIP Intervention!
Hi Kathy,
WOWEEEE - you have been one busy girl. I guess routine is GREAT for you. Holy moly - I got tired just reading all your accomplishments. ~smile~ Roseanne
I like your blue, red and white king size quilt. I look forward to seeing it quilted. :)
You are so organized! You made some impressive progress. My wip list is really my UFO list. I keep pecking away at it and it doesn't seem to get smaller. Sigh! Glad you are making progress.
