the last picture is of my leaders and enders project and my scissors.  I have my scissors on a leash with a small flat pincushion so I can always have a pin or two handy.

they are teal

I am swapping the teal and the purple
It is mystery quilt time.  I don't have much done. But Bonnie says it's not a race.  Yeah!  My weekend was spent with my other hobby re creating the Middle ages,  SCA.  When I got home my quilt time was taken over by my socially adopted son.  We  spent most of the evening in the Emergency room with a kidney stone OUCH!

Always gotta sneak in some butterflies

multi tasking

I like to work on several things at a time tonight I worked on these things .   I marked more of the Misourri Waltz quilt.   
 Missouri Waltz marked some more
 
These Raggdy Annes are for a Quilt of Valor I am working on.
Quilt of valor string blocks
 

These are My leader and enders Project. I kitted up a bunch of them and pinned the block parts together.  This Block works great for a leaders and ender project. I think I make 3blocks while working on the Raggdy Annes.

mark up

Blue fingers
I have been marking the pattern I want to quilt on this Missouri Waltz quilt. I am using a stencil.  It is a running leaf pattern.  I have only done two rows and needed a break.  I usually go through at least one Marking pen for each quilt I do.  I have a very heavy hand and when I get through the pen is messed up.

This quilt is to be for a friend that loves green.  I have the top laid out on the table part of my long arm machine using it  as a work apace for marking up the quilt.
