Marjorie's Busy Corner

Oh...Wednesday again....lol. why is it as we get older; they come around more quickly???? Well; it is here and I am ready this week. It's been a good week for sewing and other chores...our hardwood is all in for winter; I am getting to the end of painting my new doors...thank goodness because it is cool now and harder to paint outside.

WIPs for this week: Now I am not going to list those of my own waiting to be quilted because they have been here awhile and might still be here for some time. But in regards to what I am working on......

I finished the customer quilt that I showed you last time....twin size:

I have the next customer quilt in the frames and hand quilting it now....this is all Batiks; very nice to quilt.

I finished the 8th block for the QAYGAQL with Amira...

close up.....

I have my pieces ready for the 'Wicked' blog hop...but can't show you......lol

I am working on something for the "Boys' hop and 'Black Tie'.

I do have the cross stitch quilt top put together, but forgot a picture....I will show you soon.

I am getting 3 more quilts tomorrow to hand quilt....I think they are lap size...not sure.

I do have a small piece pinned and ready to quilt on Tiara too.

I am also doing a churn dash quilt as a group thing with our local quilt shop....The Fabric Cupboard.

This is the 100 Club that I join once a year....This quilt is done on a monthly basis; lots of fun...we are doing it completely in Bella Solids.....I'll try to remember to takes pics of some blocks for next time.

Well; I think that is it for me this week...meeting with the sewing buddies tomorrow night. Not sure what I'll work on then...have to bring something or I 'll just talk and drink tea.....lol.

You know the drill; linking up to Monika and Lee; come take a look.

'Take Five' makeover

Remember the quilt I showed you a few days ago??? the group quilt....well; I wasn't happy with the light green border I put on mine. So; I took if off and put another on....here is the remake....lol

close up of the fabrics....

This is the first version here....

The green border was suppose to pull the green from the blocks above; but didn't work...so back to the darker color....which I like. I can stop thinking about it now....lol

Quilts, Quilts,Quilts

Remember I told you about our sewing group making 5 quilts on Saturday???? Well; here are 3 of them finished!!

This first on belongs to Connie; from Shepody Mountain Crafter...was going to give you the link...but blogger is not co operating right now.

This one belongs to Rose; not a blogger, but a good friend

This one is mine.....these are all the same pattern done in different colors. Isn't it amazing how different they can look......I call mine 'funky' because it is totally different than my normal style.

We had a great time getting these together; and Judy and Marla will have theirs on here soon.

You might see the fabric better in this one....
