Hope you all had a very productive Quiltathon!  I was surprised I found enough time to get dad’s top quilted but I did.

Please share a link to your blog post about your accomplishments on this Quiltathon weekend.

On Lime Green Kitchen:

Blueberry Pancakes – they’re fluffy and easy to make and should be fail proof!  Serve them with warm blueberry syrup or maple syrup. Better than eating out at one of those fancy pancake houses!

Just now at 4:00 p.m., I’ve come downstairs to quilt a little.  Chad has a friend home from school for the weekend (a she kind of friend and if I get a vote . . it’s a definite YES!) so I’ve been busy with other things.

Anyway, I should get to quilt a little before I stop to put some lamb, venision and pork chops on the grill.  I didn’t know if our guest would like venison or lamb so I added the pork chops.  I think she’s the kind of girl who will try anything so whatever she likes, we should have plenty of leftover for next week!

Tonight they’re going out to a friend’s house for a surprise birthday party so I’ll get a little quilting time in then.  My fingers are crossed that I can get dad’s quilt finished tonight but I think that’s dreaming!

Hope everyone is being very productive.  I’ll get a Quiltathon link box up tomorrow afternoon.

Not sure how much sewing time I’ll get this weekend but my main project is to get my dad’s top quilted.  I think I confused you when I showed the Big Star quilt and the chicken backing.  The chicken backing is for dad’s quilt but the Big Star isn’t dad’s quilt.  Iknew what I was thinking!

Here’s dad’s top which is now loaded on the longarm.

It’s big!  Big for me anyway.  I like those 60″ x 80″ size tops.  This one is about 94″ x 110″.  The backing pretty much fills up the longarm.  I had planned to use Hobbs wool batting but it’s doubtful I’ll have a wool batt that’s large enough.  Heck, I hope I have anything that’s big enough!

Hope everyone is getting lots of sewing done.

Next weekend is the scheduled Quiltathon.  I know . . it’s Valentine’s weekend but I didn’t want to do it over the Superbowl weekend and I’ll be gone the rest of February.  Plan to join is if you can!

And, future dates are on the sidebar.

Thanks to all of you who participated in the Quiltathon.  Thanks for adding the links and the comments and the emails!  If you go over to the sidebar where I have the Quiltathon dates listed, I made the January dates a clickable link that will take you back to the post with the link box.  That way, anyone who hasn’t had time to read all the reports can easily find them.

It does get confusing with the link box for the Quiltathon, the Stash  Reports and tomorrow will be Design Wall Monday. If you make a mistake, it’s not a problem.  Just email me and I’ll fix it.

Thanks again!  It’s fun when there are a whole bunch of us sewing at the same time.  If you haven’t added your link or you haven’t posted your stash report, there’s still time to get those posted!

Post on your blog about your quiltathon progress, then add a link here to the specific blog post.  Links to main blogs will be deleted!

For tomorrow or even tonight . . if you do a second or third or whatever blog post about your progress, add a second or third entry to the link box.  The more . . the merrier!

For me . . I’m getting less done than I do on the average day.  Chicken issues!
