Busy weekend....

I worked on the new runner most of the weekend, but had to change gears for a bit on Friday and start quilting this new quilt in the Circle and Spin series. I loaded it last weekend, but had problems with my bobbin winder, so had to order a small rubber grommet for it to work. 

A friend loaned me her winder on Thurs. so I could get started. I need to get this quilt finished so that I can quilt the runner. I will be holding a class to make the runner in May. No date set on the other quilt yet.

The panto I'm using, Ebb and Flow by Lorien Quilting,  sort of flows along, like the design, so I think it will look good. Plus it's quick to do. Even so, I still have to take a break every so often, so I will be quilting in between writing a pattern today. With any luck, I will get both finished. 

 I'm finished with the runner top and will post more pictures of it soon as I quilt and bind it. Now to name it....hmmmm....

Making progress....

I spent most of yesterday working on this new project...it's really starting to come together.

Pretty, springy half square triangles. I make mine a bit bigger so I can square them up...do you?

This is a smaller project so only three blocks to make.

First block finished...

 It's a row!

 I am going to work on it some more today, and will post pics occasionally on my Facebook page of my progress.

I also want to get some quilting done on a project I loaded on the quilt frame the other day. I did find & order the rubber grommets I need for my bobbin winder, but  a friend loaned me her winder so I could wind some bobbins to get started on it while I wait for them to arrive. I will need to quilt this new springy project to hang on display for a class, so I need to get the other finished. It is a new one in the Circle and Spin series and also for a future class.

 Love these days off work to quilt!

New project and spring break...

I stopped at Cut Up and Quilt and picked up some new fabrics for a spring runner project the other day...love them and can't wait to start this morning! I have a few days off for spring break and since I cleaned last weekend, I think I can sew today. I have a quilt loaded and ready to be quilted also, but having problems with the bobbin winder, so it's on hold...arghhhhh...nothing is supposed to break when I want to quilt. I'm glad I have a new project to take my mind off it.

 I will be posting pics on Facebook as I work on this today...so stop by!
