Been a while since I've been on here. So here is the update:

The sampler is hung in the home office. It's dark in there now with no light on.
The 2015 BOM is gone. I got tired of being ignored on the web site and just trashed the blocks. I think they will end up in the scrappy quilt.
The Stained Glass Butterfly is in the closet and may never come out, grrrrh.
The Community Quilt for hatch quilting is sandwiched and awaiting quilting. Done
The Patches and Pieces BOM for May is Oh Susannah I have the directions and the fabric for this one. Done, Done over, and Done again, whew.
The Left Panel of the Mt Fuji Bay Window Set is being appliqued. It's on hold. A UFO in the making.
The jinxed Attack Cat Quilt that I was given was finished until I looked at the back and it has holes in it. Now I'm looking for some fabric that has some mice on it that I can applique to the back to cover the holes.
I hand bound the back binding on a small john deere lap quilt for the community group. The back was flannel and I was a little bit afraid that the flannel wouldn't hold my stitches but it did.
I am doing a straight stitch in the ditch on a tumbled block lap quilt for the community group this month. I am thinking about doing the good luck spider web in one corner with the free motion foot but I may chicken out.
I have designed the victorian crazy quilt that I want to work on next for myself and I have lined up a teacher for the ribbon embroidery that will be required. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Hopefully I'll be able to do the picture thing for that one.

Oh the club BOM this period is the star flower. It is a pretty block. And I got a book recently on blocks and borders that I think will help me coordinate fabrics to get the best look out of blocks. At least I hope it will. I'm doing it in a black and white motif. Cross your fingers for me.

Also my mentor and I are working on an Oh Susannah flimsie. We weren't able to find fabrics for the sashing and inner borders so I shopped my stash and then went shopping I think I have some possibilities now.

tammy, you are really taking to the quilting. it sounds like you have accomplished much and are doing well with it. congrats!

duh · « **Reply #29 on:** Aug 17, 2015, 10:29:43 AM »

Yes after 40 years it's starting to work right. Not that I have a stubborn streak or anything.
Today I got the binding on the 3rd community quilt. Now I just have the hand work and label to finish.
I got the pieces put together for the star flower block. Just the first of 12 if I do what I want to do. Maybe just 8 blocks I can't decide. It will depend on how the fabric holds out.

if you want to see pictures they are on the patchesandpieces.org website. The community quilts aren't put under anyone's name but if your interested I'll figure out where they are in the gallery and let you know.

And this is a John Deere fabric lap quilt again done for a charity. I only did the hand binding on this one.

This is the sampler that I did in class. Clyde got a much better picture of it than I could.

duh · « **Reply #33 on:** Aug 18, 2015, 11:51:30 AM »

I don't have a picture of the others yet. And I won't get a picture of the star flower for a long time because I only finished the first block and it isn't perfect. I'll have to talk to my mentor about what to do about that.

Looking really good, Tammy.

bestofour · « **Reply #35 on:** Aug 18, 2015, 10:15:50 PM »

They look good. You guys have been busy.

bayou girl · « **Reply #36 on:** Aug 18, 2015, 10:33:35 PM »

those are beautiful and you look like you are having a good time!

duh · « **Reply #37 on:** Aug 19, 2015, 10:32:42 AM »

They are a really nice group of ladies. And yes I am enjoying myself. Having the rotary cutter helps a great deal and also having a mentor I can ask questions who has a fantastic way of explaining things is a real boon.

I think I'll finish up the binding on the community quilt either tonight or tomorrow. Then it is on to the crazy quilt and the star flower community quilt.

Tina · « **Reply #38 on:** Aug 19, 2015, 12:35:24 PM »

Good going, Tammy.

Beautiful work, Tammy!

duh · « **Reply #40 on:** Aug 20, 2015, 10:32:25 AM »

Thanks all. I'm off tomorrow to buy more material. That's addictive. I need a mustard, a grey to complete two quilts and I have a 40 and 50 percent coupon. Can't wait to use them.

duh · « **Reply #41 on:** Aug 22, 2015, 11:18:23 AM »

had company yesterday so I'm going for the fabric today. Wish me luck.

duh · « **Reply #42 on:** Aug 24, 2015, 10:51:09 AM »

one day i can post pictures the next I can't. I don't understand it.

duh · « **Reply #43 on:** Aug 31, 2015, 12:33:07 PM »

Well you can see the quilts over at patchesandpieces.org if you want to in the gallery. Of course you can't tell who did what. But I'll try to get the position of the most recent one. If I can remember what it looked like, lol.

The black and white star flower is coming along nicely. I'm on block 5 of 12 I think but now I'm not sure and I don't have my notes. The points are coming together much better. I just have to pay close attention to detail. And use a bunch of pins.

The childrens Oh Susannah quilt top is giving me some problems but I hope to fix that here very soon.

duh · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 01, 2015, 12:18:22 PM »

The Oh Susannah quilt top is done. And I even managed to cut and sew the binding. So now all that is left is to sandwich it and sew on the binding and sew on the label. That shouldn't take much more than a week.

bayou girl · « **Reply #45 on:** Sep 01, 2015, 09:57:03 PM »

that sounds pretty.

duh · « **Reply #46 on:** Sep 11, 2015, 03:55:15 PM »

Why do i always lose the long posts?

The next quilt that I helped on is on the patchesandpieces.org gallery 8/21 meeting first row 4th quilt. It is called a tumbling block pattern I believe.

duh · « **Reply #47 on:** Sep 11, 2015, 03:56:28 PM »

Oh by the way the Oh Susannah quilt was all puckers so I have to rip it out and do it again. My spray adhesive decided not to adhere.

This is going to be another jinx quilt. I frogged it. Then redid the stitch in the ditch, it's better but not perfect. I'm continuing on with it none the less. I want to finish it this week so it can go in with the rest on friday.
