I am sewing...

These have now been piece
together!  And I have a quilt top!!

I am making progress, but since a certain birthday boy reads my blog, there will be no pictures until Saturday night... The quilt won't be quilted but the top should be finished and with luck the backing too...

Because today was the Band's big fundraiser of the year, a Robbie Burns dinner, I didn't have a "Friday Night" to sew in... I pretended I was in Russia or Finland where it was nighttime when I sewed today... The quilt was pieced together, taped to the floor and squared off, and had 1+ of the borders applied.  I have started attaching the 2nd border and am debating what to do for the last border.  I might do a pieced border... and the save my largest leftover for the binding...

Here is the finished table topper that will be up at the silent auction at tonights Robbie Burns dinner.  It was part of a basket, so wasn't showcased.  I was a little disappointed to see that, but realize an 18" round table topper by itself doesn't look all that impressive.  When I left, the basket of items was at $50...

And here is my sewing area at our beach home... sure wish my sewing area was as clean and tidy here...

This is a corner of my dining room and I recently restructured it with the old IKEA computer desk.  The old desk was a door, but it was hollow and used old table legs that made it bounce and wobble!  Now a nice and sturdy sewing area...
