progress report #2

It is now Thursday July 29th at 4:30 MST and I would like to report that I now have 3 and 1/2 quilts out 5 quilted!!!

It would have been 4 by now but I think my machine was tired yesterday and kept giving me grief so I had to quit early last night.

I am not sure if I will get around to number 5 tomorrow.  It is queen size and has to be sandwiched still, but I will give it a go! 

The biggest triumph was teaching my friend how to free motion quilt (FMQ). Now that she knows how,  she is thrilled with the little projects she is finishing up. I might add she is doing very well too.

We each had a machine going and my daughter #1 would join in too on my other machine, working on her rag quilt. It was like a mini retreat.

While my machine was resting I managed to finish all the bindings on my new placemats and made some more hexies.

cross your fingers I get some more quilting in tonight!

    So, when are you going to post your finishes!!??
