We met together yesterday for the prayer quilt ministry. I did not take many pictures though! Only two in fact!
We had a very low turnout so not much was accomplished, but I did get the pinwheel quilt basted!
I forgot to make the label so I do need to go back and add that to the corner before quilting it. I also ran out of curved safety pins since I had half of them still on the granny square quilt. I guess I need to buy more if I'm going to be using my pins for the prayer quilt ministry, because now I don't have any for my personal quilts! LOL
I think hand quilting is a great family project, here is a picture of Kristi quilting with her daughter and step son on the other quilt.
Caleb said he was bored so I sent him in there and had Miss Debra teach him how to hand quilt! Never say in my presence you are bored because I'll put you to work! That is a lesson my nephew has learned and I think Caleb is starting to learn!
I have a really bad sinus headache today, so I am not sure how much I will get done today, although I do have a quilt block that I'm hoping to finish, I'll share it with ya'll as soon as I do! Of course, I also need to make my quilt label and then get started on quilting the pinwheel quilt!
Have a great day ya'll!

It's looking good!! Headaches....hmmmpf. I woke with one for the 5th day in a row this morning! It's so hard to get around them and keep busy!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are moving right along! Have you considered spray basting? I haven't pinned in years and I assume it will work ok with your quilting frames.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty quilt...how fun! Yeah, my kids know that too. Never tell mom you're bored 'cause she's got a whole list of chores that can be done! :)
ReplyDeleteI've just posted this week's new Homemaking Linkup and would love to have you join, if you haven't already.
Blessings,

You've pulled together the pinwheel quilt so fast! It is lovely. What a wonderful fellowship time for your prayer quilt ministry. Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better and can enjoy some stitching today. I love to see your photos of kids learning to hand quilt! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty fabrics in your pinwheel quilt. Work is always a great cure for boredom.
ReplyDeleteYes, if someone mentions being bored I find something for them to do. Love that you are teaching the younger kids how to quilt.
