Carolina Crossroads

Yippee! It's finally done intime for the holidays.



After a fun morning with Barb wrapping presents at Barnes and Noble and lunch together I came home and finished the binding.
My Amish Tumbling blocks are not feeling the love lately so tonight I'll work on fixing my boo boo. Tomorrow I'll work on my 30's kitchen sink quilt and get the box ready for mailing.

Guess What????

Though I'm probably one of the last ones, I finally finished my Carolina Crossroad's top today :) Another insane, lots of pieces top finished. I should call and check on Mr Juki and see if he's ready to come home. I want to look for a nice varigated thread and get it quilted. Have to buy some wide backing for GMa Cora and ship that out this week. I'm so excited.

Some of my online friends are going to make a feathered star like the one in my profile :) I promised someone one last year for knitted socks - so now that I have a pretty blue, It's time to do it again.
If you have Quilter's Newsletter from 12/05 they had the pattern there and they have the points paperpieced online in their web bonuses.

Sunday afternoon

Well I managed to get all the blocks done to Carolina Crossroads :)
I got the 4 corner triangles done also - yippee!!
Tuesday I'll work on finishing the half square blocks. Add start piecing the top.
Tomorrow I'm going to help my mom watch my brother's kids as it's a school holiday.
Usually my dad is there to help especially with the 4 y/o but he's in CA taking care of my grandfather. Things don't look good from the call we got. :(

Tonight is Girl Scouts and we're tying service quilts for my guild. I have 2 sewn together and I need to turn the second one and top stitch down and they're good to go. A few service hours for them and 2 quilts done for the guild. A win - win situation if you ask me.

Tomorrow I'll be watching one of my fav movies with my brother's middle child, my God daughter, The Neverending Story. I'll be sewing the binding down on a love quilt. We'll see if Callie, my sister's cat approves or not. Seems she is a quilt kitty. As soon as they come out she's there checking for quality control. Then I can mail the quilt Tuesday ( after washing it of course)
