Voyager Update

The last two nights I've been monkeying around trying to fix the Voyager, but the only result has been sore arms from trying to turn the handwheel. I called Hinterberg today and since I'm fairly close to their store, I'm just going to take it down there tomorrow afternoon and have them look at it. Please cross your fingers that it's something they can easily fix (while I'm there) and hopefully this weekend I'll be quilting up a storm.

Last night I worked some more on Heritage. I now only have 20 more HSTs to make!!! That leaves close to 60 that I need to iron and square up. Then I can work on making the pinwheels. After making over 550 of them, I'm pretty sure I won't be doing a lot of HSTs for a while!

Monday I worked more on Winter X. I made as many blocks as I could. (I was two charm packs short for the fabric I needed so I ordered the charm packs and hopefully they'll be here tomorrow or Friday.) I plan on working on this during the weekend too. I didn't buy any fabric for the borders since I'm hoping I can find something in my stash to use.

Speaking of the weekend, Judy is having another quiltathon (15th & 16th)! I've got plenty to get done before Christmas so I'll be sewing all weekend. My list is pretty ambitious so we'll see how much I get done.

Projects to work on this weekend:
  1. Quilt Snow Wonderland (if Voyager is fixed) - Donna's b'day is at the end of the month so if I can get it done in time, I'll give it to her then instead of waiting until Christmas.
  2. Finish Winter X top - possible Christmas present if I can get it finished in time.
  3. Finish Heritage HSTs and start making pinwheels.
  4. Start Christmas table topper.
  5. Quilt Snow Friends if I finish Snow Wonderland.


P.S. I love to hear from visitors to my blog. Please don't be shy, say Hi or post what you're working on in the comments area. Thanks!
