Progress...

Here is what I have been up to lately...This is a quilt that was started 2 years ago, finally got those blocks together with the first border.  I will have to go to the store to get an outer border- I am thinking red-, binding and backing.  This will then be posted on my website for sale.  Wish me luck!!!  I have also signed up for a craft fair in November.  Hope I can get some great things made by then.  I have never done this before so I am really a fish out of water here. 
This is a big Christmas lap quilt. 


This quilt came off the longarm today and will be another one posted on the website.  I am thinking a nice solid binding in pink or purple.  It is a small lap size quilt. 






Hawaii Sunset progress:  there are about 30 four patches here.  I am using them as Leaders and Enders so they are slowly piling up.
There are more than enough 9 patches here which is fine with me!  I can always use 9 patches in a project for the craft fair!  Also, it will allow me to select only the best ones for trading with my Hawaii Sunset partners!  As for my flying geese, I have about half of them half way done (a few are actually complete).  But, I may actually get them done by the end of the month which is sorta the goal.
 
I also managed to get my closet cleaned out this weekend.  It seemed like it had been decades since it had been done but I KNOW I did it once in the last 4 years or so.  Seems really empty now that I got rid of everything that I have grown too round to fit in to.  Now I have room to put quilt stash in there too.  That means I get to buy more fabric, right? 
 
Basketball Season starts tomorrow which means even less time for sewing.  Wish me luck on getting things done for a November Craft Show.  If anyone has any" pointers", I would love to hear them!
 
Saw the first yellow leaves of the season today.  That's pretty early for around here.  Feeling a little chilly in the mornings also but still sweating throughout the day!  Guess I better get ready for fall!
 
Have a lovely week!
