I have been really busy today. I got the binding machine sewed to the big Mariner’s Compass, it is about 107 inches square, I started to do the hand stitching and have one side done! only 3 sides left to go. Maybe I will get it done on Tuesday, I’m sure I will put some time in on it tomorrow. I hope to have it done this week so that I can take a photo of it at the church on Friday at my quilt group. There is a stage there where when two people hold a quilt up it won’t be drapped onto the floor or if that doesn’t work there is a balconey that we can hang a quilt over to take a photo. While I had the sewing machine out I got the backing pieces sewed together for the Scrappy Irish Chain. After drawing the quilting design on the open spaces I got it all loaded onto the 3 roller frame and it is ready to start quilting. I do not plan to take as long quilting this one – but one can never tell 
The next quilt to go on the frame is the first Dear Jane Quilt that I made that I call “Insanity”.
Here is the quilt on the frame:
Here is a photo of the design for the white areas – it isn’t real dark maybe you can see it good enough to get an idea of what the swirly design looks like:
Well I am done for the night! I got a lot done today and even got my sewing table cleared off and everything put away earlier so that I could use the table.
