This is a sew-in Saturday. DD2 (on the left) is piecing a top for one of our customers. She is patiently trimming down 2" HST. A laborious process. DD3 (on the right) is ironing her blocks for a quilt top she is making to list on eBay. It's called Party Mix. The pattern and all the fabrics are Thimbleberries.
Behind them is my design wall (which is 48" x 60"). Behind it is a gas log fireplace. We never use it, obviously. We have another one upstairs in the living room (directly above it). On top of the hearth is my 2-drawer filing cabinet. I lay UFO tops and blocks on there until I quilt them or sell them. You can see a couple works in progress there.
I'm hand quilting my string quilt while I visit with the girls. Making a lot of progress on that. I nearly have the Baptist fans finished on one edge.
The old dryer is all dead. A new dryer was purchased and installed this AM and has dried a few loads already. Yes, our old one was a goner. Thank God we had the money to buy a new washer and dryer. I hate to even consider the alternative!

I love action shots like that. Seems like all your kids quilt... is there any that don't?
Sorry about the dryer - guess it really did want to join the old washer! Didn't entertain the thought of hang drying everything? :P I know that if my mother-in-law's dryer dies, I'll give her $100 towards a new one. A small repayment for her letting me use her washer and dryer every Sunday since I got married. Sure has saved us a lot of quarters!
Hi Joan, I think it's wonderful that your girls are interested in quilting, and they look like they're doing a fine job! I was inspired by your Scrappy Trips quilt, and that's what I'll be working on tomorrow for Super Bowl Bargello Sunday on Bonnie's site.
What beautiful and talented young women, Joan. I can't wait to see their finished projects.
Your daughters are beautiful, and quilters too :-) you're a lucky mom. Love to see this picture!
