WEDGE CHALLENGE!!
Yes, I must sew on the Wedge Challenge! While out and about Lorri2Rs and I checked out all the different wedge rulers. I challenge you to pull out that wedge ruler you bought and have never used! We have 10 degree rulers and I plan to have a tree skirt finished by Christmas--10 months away. One degree a month sounds like a plan. ;-) I often receive comments on my long goal list. Although its a big list, I don't plan to get it all done. Its more to remind me and focus me during the week. If I write it down I am more likely to work on it.
Lorri2Rs is heading home today as long as the roads are clear. We've had a great time--sleep overs at any age are fun! We are going to a sew day in Moville IA next Saturday. Can you say ROAD TRIP??!!
Cold snowy weather has made for lots of sewing. We did hand sewing of binding during the Super Bowl. Did your team win?

Congratulations on the finish..... Looks great.......
Still debating the Long Arm Quilter question....
Not many more days of winter left.. The worst is over.
Spring is on the way...
The Blue Jacob's Ladder looks wonderful, I love the scrappy strips borders. That Bricks & Steppingstones is perfect for a teen boy, good job!
The bricks and stepping stones was an "a ha" moment for me. I've created a stack of bricks of baby fabrics over the years but wasn't sure what to with them. This gives me an idea. Thanks!
And I'm very intrigued with dying muslin for backing. Another thing that may need to go on my "someday" list.
Love the Bricks and Stones quilt. I never make LARGE quilts, so I can even imagine one as large as what you have on the frame. Yikes!
Enjoyed the time at the SD Workhouse this weekend. Sleep overs are great - even better when snowed in. Great food - lots of sewing- treats for Ruby- sleeping in and staying UP half the night.More fun coming on Friday at a retreat for Cancer Center in Sioux City, IA.
Sewpiecefully !!!
Your blue Jacob's Ladder looks real nice. Wish I could see the backing that you dyed for it. Also love your Bricks quilt. That is a perfect pattern for scraps.
