Monday Meanderings 5 - 28 - 2018

To my American readers:  may today be a special day of remembrance for all who have died while serving in the military.  I find it interesting that none of my immediate family died yet most served during wars: both grandfathers, my dad who was career Navy, and my brother. Thanks to all Americans who have served our country in the military and special thanks to the families who lost a love one who served. 

Progress on my projects has been made this week but things look pretty much the same as last week. So I'm sharing pictures from last week's retreat. Here are 4 tops people finished.  

I think this was made by Pat. Thanks Barb for letting me know it was yours.  Both Barb and Pat were sitting near me so we were chatting a lot.  Pat  made several tops during the weekend. Barb worked on several projects but finished this one.   I plugged along on my Jamestown Landing. 

Here's another quilt made by Pat.  I really liked the simplicity of this one.  I'm getting tired of my variation of this that uses a 4 patch with a theme fabric.  I think the 9 patch would be fun to do too.  Should be a fairly fast quilt to make also. 

I didn't get a picture of the whole quilt but I particularly liked this one for the border treatment.  It really sings with the center panel.  Now if I can remember it long enough to put it to use! Although, I must admit I don't often buy panels. Do you use panels? 

This is one of several Stephanie worked on.  You probably can't see it but she centered the border design before she cut them so all four borders look the same.  Wonderful. The cream background fabric were words written with a wonderful script typeface.  Lovely. 

On to my goals last week.  
May 21, 2018
Quilt 1 customer quilt started
Hand quilt on Civil War Quilt √
Work on Jamestown Landing √
Bind previously finished charity quilt started
Rest and read a book or two √

I did quilt my Looney Tunes quilt although it wasn't on the list.  I was testing Ruthie 2 after a bit of an issue. She seems to be working brilliantly now. And, my Bernina has been cleaned and tuned up.  Unfortunately,when we went to pick her up they didn't address one of the issues.  Grr.  I really wanted her back so I could get some bindings done. But they kept her and she is once again ready for pick up. Hopefully all will be working fine when I pick her up tomorrow.

Here's what I'll be working on this week. 
May 28, 2018
Hand quilt on Civil War Quilt (I am almost done with this one!) 
Bind charity quilts
Finish 6 more Jamestown Landing blocks
Sew Jamestown Landing blocks together

Between spending a day at museums in DC and driving to Richmond to get my Bernina I may not succeed with all of these goals.  But I will be moving some projects forward!

I'm linking up with my regular parties: Oh Scrap, Monday Making, Moving It Forward, Design Wall Monday,  and Main Crush Monday.  I'm taking some time to see what others are working on this week. How about you?

Happy Quilting All!  Bonnie
