Weekly Goals--
Load/quilt another top
Binding for Lake quilt
Binding for Cheddar Delight
Cut squares for baby quilts
I am concentrating on quilting with the baby arrival date moved up. A stack of binding will be my stress relief project. Easy to pick up and put down with NO BRAIN needed!
I have been punching buttons too. Used books, more colors of dye, and some 118" wide white backing to dye. I thought I had WIDE backing but its only 90" and two tops are bigger than that. 30% off at JoAnns and free shipping. When I figure gas and time it was a bargain.
I thought I might need some needles for the Princess. Have you ever done this?
Seriously? Was I crazy? There are 60 new needles! A new one every other quilt or at the most every quilt. So--am I going to quilt 120 quilts in the next couple of weeks?
Plans are to lock the doors and sew/quilt like mad! 9 days until baby arrival and counting!

I've never heard the expression "punching buttons" but I do a lot of it myself, especially in the winter.
Love the quilting you did. I don't like quilts with dense stitching. In my opinion, they aren't cuddly and don't have any drape at all.
I also like a more loose yet close quilting. i am intrigued by how you dye your backings.
Love that hibiscus panto - very pretty in the navy thread. Gorgeous quilt.
9 days and counting until the baby arrives - unless he comes a little earlier. :-)
Oh, my gosh...that's beautiful on both the front and back!
2 yrs ago i bought 100 needles...so glad i did...and the quilt? oohh la like!
Lovely!
Good luck with the impending baby arrival. You'd better pack!
