More sewing this week.
I finished the top to my Vintage Stars (red/black) quilt, made the backing and everything is loaded on the longarm waiting for me to get started with the quilting.
I also made a baby-quilt size (36 x 48) Simply Woven quilt - this is a quilt-along on the Stashbuster yahoo group. The blocks were put into a top yesterday.
Also yesterday, I offered to have Paige quilt with me. Since the design was was up, I pulled out the cupcake blocks from a swap years ago on The Quilting Post. We put those up on the design wall, and Paige picked out random sashing strips from the 2 1/2" strip bin. I cut to size, and Paige is doing the sewing and pressing. We've got all three columns done, and one of the sashing strips between columns attached. Three more long seams and it's a top. We'll probably try to get those stitched today, and figure out what to put on for borders.
A good way to spend a snowed-in weekend.

Linking with Judy at Patchwork Times.
Also this week, I've been knitting hats. I found the Hats for Sailors group. I like the idea of providing warm knitted hats for our sailors, so have decided this is a project to support. Hats are such a quick knit when what I've been working on mostly is socks. So far, I've finished 2 hats, and am about half-way finished a third. That will probably be completed today while I watch some football.

It is always fun to piece with a family member.
Good stash progress!
