I am a winner!!!! I simply love all the blogs there are on quilting. And I also feel as if these women are my friends although we are miles apart. I made a suggestion on Scraps and Threadtales blog and I won! There were two other winners too. We are all so very lucky this week! http://scrapsandthreadtales.blogspot.com/ Here is the link to the blog.
I have the Masonic quilt finished. I just need to call Marg and tell her to come get it.
I visited my oldest daughter at a new dining place she is working at on Thursday when I was doing my running around town. She is a workhorse....2 jobs, 4 daughters and a host of running for Grandma Iole. Anyway...I noticed that her apron was kinda threadworn. I checked my records and yep! it has been 2 years since I made some for her. SO that is what I worked on this last Friday and Saturday. I made 8 aprons. Five for Lisa and three for Laura (she does not work as much).
Today I am back making more batik Virginia Bound blocks for my bed quilt. Yes....I am finally sewing for myself again. I have 144 quarter blocks done. But I want the quilt to have a lot of overhang. I can always make a smaller one for the chair if I make too many. I want it 120" wide and 144" long. I plan on quilting it in sections. Guess I will worry about that when the time comes for assembly.

Now that will be a quilt! Just out of curiousity, how do you get the material for the backing on something that large? As far as I know the only thing that comes that wide is muslin.
Subee,
Thank you for visiting! I am happy to make your acquaintance. It always makes me day when I meet a fellow quilter on blogland. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
