WiP Wednesday - Where Was I?

It's WiP Wednesday, and I'm back to The Pit Boss's Turning Fifty quilt. I've been distracted for awhile. First I had to finish the String Spider Web quilt for the East Cobb Show.  Then I've been quilting a lot for the #machinequiltingbloghop. Plus the monthly blocks for the Twilters bee swap.

This week has been the usual Independence Day celebration with the cousins and more food than should be legal, but I've been sneaking some time in the mornings before everyone else is awake to do a little bit of sewing. I've managed to make two more blocks, so I'm halfway done. 

I have to go back to work tomorrow. One of the team service projects is to pack lunches for kids in need. The team decided that we should decorate the lunch bags to make it a little more fun, and they handed out plain white bags so we could all pitch in. I decided that this was as good a chance as any to practice free motion quilting designs! 

What are you working on? 

Happy St. Valentine's Day - and a Creative Prompt

Happy Valentine's Day!

Last week Jaye posted the Creative Prompt "Grow."  I know this may look like I've gotten the word wrong, but my first thought was a viney valentine with the words

Each and every day
In so many ways
My love for you
Grows and Grows

I hope you have a beautiful day with the people who make your heart grow.

Creative Prompt - Willow

Does anyone participate in Jaye's Creative Prompt over at ArtQuiltMaker.com?  I have always admired them, and when she posted the topic "Willow" I had an image pop into my head.

I have also recently become fascinated with Zentangles.  They remind me of free motion quilting and the beauty of a heavily quilted piece.

Here's my submission.  Hope to see one of yours in the flickr group soon!
