Row I – “Insanity”

Last night I managed to finish the 9th row I on “Insanity”.    That means there are 4 rows of blocks and 1 row of borders left to do.  But it is on hold for the weekend. The photo on the left is block 13 and the photo on the right are the triangles of that row.

I live in an old house which means once in awhile repair work needs to be done and this weekend we are doing some in the sewing room.  I moved everything out of my sewing room this week while Mike was working – that is everything but the quilting frame – it is too big to move and I have no other place to put it.  Of course I do not want the dear quilt to be damaged so I pinned basted very closely all that is left to quilt and took it off of the frame.  We are going to be working on the ceiling – the sheet-rock needs to be replaced and then painted.  I am hoping it will all be done this weekend but with an old house you never know what you will find under things so when the old sheet-rock comes down what will be under it and what will need to repaired – we will soon find out!  LOL

When we are done I will put the quilt back on the frame and maybe work on it this weekend on break times using a hoop – we will see – I might just read a book instead!

Some of you read Judi’s blog “The Green Fairy” and know that she is going to Romania next month to visit an orphanage on some kind of mission trip.  She is bringing quilts for all of the children.  She does not have enough quilts and is asking if anyone has extra children quilts to get in touch with her.  You can do that by going to the link  in the sentence above.  I had several tops that I have not gotten around to quilting yet and had no one in mind to give them to.  I contacted her I am sending them to her as she said she will be able to get them quilted in time to include.  They went off in the mail to her today.  These are the quilt tops I have sent her, you might remember them from when I completed them earlier in the year.  I also sent her a wall hanging that I have no use for as my grandchildren have so many quilts and things that they do not need this wallhanging too   I thought it might help to brighten up the walls of the orphanage and Judi said to send it too and she would bring it to them.  It was made for a challenge from the quilt guild.

I don’t know if she still needs more quilts but as of yesterday she was about 20 short.  She is leaving in about 4 weeks I believe.  If you want to help out and put a smile on a child’s face get in touch with her – it is a good cause.
