Good day, Friends.
I hope everyone had a nice
Mother’s Day weekend. My children (young adults) called very early and gave me
some great laughs to start the day. My husband prepared a lovely dinner for my
mother and me. My mom watches her sugar
intake due to diabetes. The results from her lab tests last week were
great, so I made her favorite pie for dessert.
Coconut Cream Pie
She had one small piece and really enjoyed it.
Even though the quilt
along has since ended, I’m continuing to work on the Halloween Figs quilt per
the monthly instructions.
Here are month four’s blocks…
Nutmeg Star Block
More Simple Star Blocks
I will be getting FIVE quilts back from the long-arm quilter soon, and that means I will have five quilts to bind. Then I remembered that I have four additional quilts that are ready for binding.
Quilt #1 has binding
attached to the front and only needs to be sewn to the back. Quilt #2 has the
binding strips cut but not sewn. Quilt #3 has the fabric for the binding, but
nothing has been cut. The last one doesn’t even have fabric chosen for the
binding.
This, my friends, is the
epitome of pathetic! My husband’s assessment is that it will take me
until the end of the year to get all of these quilts across the finish line.
(he may not be wrong!)
I’ve made very little progress
on my cross-stitch projects since last Friday. We enjoyed walking around the
Biltmore grounds last Saturday and I was reading for this week’s book club meeting.
This means there will not be a Friday Floss update this week.
Also, we must take another
trip on Friday. I’ll share more about this in next week’s update.
Enjoy the remainder of
your week and weekend ahead.
I’m linking up with
Jennifer at The Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss.
See you soon.

Mother's Day was lovely. Coconut Cream pie is my favorite too, and I also have to watch that sugar, but I still would have had a piece of pie. Yum!
Your Mother's Day sounds nice but we opted for no dessert as we had ice cream the night before! Good work on your blocks and the bindings will get done in due time. :)
Your Nutmeg Star block is really lovely, Jeanna ;)))this will be such a beautiful quilt...hugs, Julierose
Even if your husband's prediction is right You'll have at least 3 if not 4 beautiful treasures all finished!!!! You certainly are not in danger of getting bored :)
Your coconut cream pie looks yummy! The new blocks for the Halloween quilt look great - I'm still liking that pretty orange. I think you can get those quilts bound long before the end of the year, Jeanna. Cheering you on from out west here!
Beautiful blocks and the pie looks scrumptious.
Your blocks are looking great! I would say that I don't know how you can get to the binding stage of a quilt and then not finish it but, once upon a time I said I couldn't understand how someone could make a quilt top and not get it quilted and finished.....
Once a quilt is quilted, I usually get the binding on quickly.... That said, I have several quilt tops that have been sitting for ____ too long to be layered and quilted.
I love the fussy cut center on that first block.
You just have to prove your hubby wrong about the quilt finishes, you need to sprint across the finish line!
Glad you had a nice Mother's Day. My husband would be in heaven with that pie. I'm going to try the coconut cream pie bars I saw Willow Bird Baking for his birthday next month. Good luck with the bindings!
Prove him wrong!! have a binding marathon haha!! What fun those blocks are!!
Mouth watering pie there. And beautiful blocks. Wow, you have been super productive to have so many quilts almost at the fully finished line. Binding is sweet stitching knowing you are at the finish line. Take Care, J
Loving your blocks! As luscious as your cream pie. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

That is a lot of binding ...maybe you need to prove him and just finish them! The Halloween quilt looks lovely - orange & black do go well together.
How nice to spend Mother's Day with your Mom and how sweet to make her favorite pie. Looks delish! That Halloween quilt looks so pretty. You are a busy gal.
