This one finished last night – pieced by Cindy

I did get a quilt loaded and started this afternoon but ended up picking out the stitching — I’ll try again tomorrow.

18 quilts tied and bound, plus the binding on my UFO for last month and I’m ALL done – no more work until I get home next week. Tomorrow I’ll meet with Bev and Darlene for lunch and to pass off all the finished quilts.

This first one was finished after dark and I just can’t get a good photo inside here. It was a donation top that needed to be “reconstructed” and I think it’s the one that Brenda fixed at the sew-in.

This was another one pieced by Jackie. Normally I prefer tying HeartStrings quilts to other patterns but these 3 of Jackie’s were fun to work on.

Finished last night – this top was pieced by Sharon.

I’m working on tying the last top tonight!

With just a week to go, I’m trying to finish up the HeartStrings I’ve been tying and binding. They’ll stay here Maine for donating.

This one was pieced by Jackie and I used the birthing method again. It adds another option for finishing when I have a quilt with a backing that I don’t want to bring around to the front.

I finished the bindings last night on 3 more of the HeartStrings quilts. The first two were pieced by Darlene.

I’m not sure who pieced this one with blue centers. Maybe Rebecca or Sharon?

Pieced by Jane, here’s an oversized Happy Block quilt.

Pieced by Mary in Maine, brights with black centers

And finally another top from the CA group is done too.

This was another top pieced by Sharon – I finished tying and binding it last night.

Tonight I got 3 more smallish tops tied but still have to bind all of them so I’ll share them when they’re done.

This one pieced by Rebecca….those centers may look black in the photo but they’re a lovely dark green. This one is backed with an autumn print from Brenda.

In between other activities I’m still working. Today was the first day it was really nice enough to sit on the deck to tie.

And I even finished the binding. I think this is a top pieced by Sharon.

I might slow down a bit for the next few days because Keith is on his way back to Maine now. He’s only here a few days before traveling again so I’ll work less while he is here.

This first one was pieced by a group in CA from leftover flannel – it will be nice and warm for a recipient here in Maine.

And here’s the little one pieced by Jackie that I birthed and then tied. It worked out fine for a quilt this size and I may just try it on one or two of the larger ones I have left – we’ll see

The lighting isn’t the best on this one – I wish the deck got a little more sun but I won’t complain!
