We all have lots of catching up to do...

That's why my UFO Saturdays are always popular and lots of fun. Dianne has been working on this new quilt for her bedroom for a few weeks and got it finished on Saturday. Such gentle colors...

Dan and Patty brought their Spinning Parasols tabletoppers to work on and made some great progress. Dan had all three blocks finished, didn't get a pic of that third block and Patty had her center finished and the pieced border sections as well. They are looking good.

Ruth worked on a runner she started in a different class and got lots of her tri-recs finished and another diamond or two. She will be ready to put it together soon.

JoAnn worked on a some teeny tiny half square triangles for another project and then made another Quilted Boxy Corner Pouch. She made one last time too, and loves making them. Everyone was curious as to how they go together.

Julie got the second half of her Lone Star sewn together and the setting corners sewn in. She worked on this quilt the last time she came for UFO Saturday, so it was fun to see her getting it closer to being finished.

Elsie had purchased the Curvy Log Cabin ruler a few months ago I demo-ed it at Cut Up and Quilt, but when she went to use it, she couldn't remember how to use it. She had her strips all cut and ready to start sewing when she got there, so she got quite a few sections made, plus sewed this block together. She is using all pinks for this lovely.

I finished sewing the Henry Glass #LaughLoveQuilt project together yesterday, so now I have to quilt it. I had an idea for a backing, but it didn't work out, so I have to get some fabric today to make a backing. My deadline is looming and not sure it will be finished by Friday.

It took me a bit longer than I thought yesterday as I had to go back to the drawing board when I didn't like the darker print border I had added. It just didn't look right. So eventually, after much thinking and head scratching, I decided on a pieced border. Makes sense.

 Sewed more strips together...

 Cut out some rectangles too...then came the unsewing....sigh....

Spinning Parasols!

Elsie's Parasol block and partial border

My Spinning Parasols Tablerunner class went well on Saturday. I loved seeing the different color choices come together. 

Patty's Parasol block and partial border

They were fun and playful...I made them promise to send me pictures when they have completed them. They had such a good start, it won't take long.

Dan's Parasol block and partial border

I want to make a quilt using these blocks, wouldn't that be cute? I have a baby quilt to make, so maybe....

My Spinning Parasols runner

I'm finally feeling better and hope to get some quilt planning/sewing done this week. I have class tonight and tomorrow night, so maybe Wednesday.....

The Laugh, Love, Quilt fabrics came from Henry Glass for the Desire to Inspire Challenge on Saturday. I still need to take a picture, and will share with you soon. Now...what should I make? I have to have something made by the end of the month. Stay tuned!

Almost finished....

I realize these pictures aren't the best lighting-wise, as the lighting in my quilting room isn't great for pictures,  but I'm excited to have Spinning Parasols quilted. I am going to bind it tomorrow night with the green floral that is in the border and on the back of the runner. It's a favorite of mine...well for now...

Spinning Parasols backing

I used the Starburst Panto and Signature Pastel thread for a tiny hint of color.

I will be teaching a class on this soon at Cut Up and Quilt.
