We were out and about this past weekend playing on mopeds. We took part in an endurance race with 46(-ish?) teams of 4 who raced around a track for nearly 4 hours. I am so proud to say my team of boys came in 8th overall and 4th in their class! I am so pleased for them. Here's one out just messing....
Anyway, I played photographer all weekend and didn't stitch one stitch.
We arrived home 2 hours ago and I had a listen to Rhonda's podcast. Rhonda and I had a great time recording it, but this was the first time I could listen. (Thank you all for such kind, warm comments after hearing out interview! You guys are the best!) I heard your kick in the bum, Rhonda. I heard it! You will see that Community Quilt finished sooner rather than later.
I'm spending the night quilting. It's a huge quilt (90x90 ish) so I feel like I am wrestling a whale or walrus or something ridiculous.
I'm quilting basic straight lines so it's easy enough. I think, though, that is why it is taking so long to finish. There's nothing interesting here to keep my brain occupied. Just straight line after straight line...
I am off to quilt, then. (I will show that Rhonda....)

Hey Cindy, Cool looking quilt. I love the splashes of colour. I just finished one 78x78 and my arms were sore when I was finished.
Great shot of the racing. Where was it held? My husband and son both race pitbikes.
Keep going, you can do it!!
You go girl!!
you go girl!! Put something interesting on the tv, or radio, or listen to music...You CAN do this xx
Looks like a fun weekend (never knew you could do that on a moped lol)
Have fun battling the whale!
Full throttle and off you go!
This is going to be one fabulous quilt when it's finished C! We all need a kick up the bum from time to time! Jxo
Ooh straight lines are good!!
Like I have any room to talk about someone not finishing anything ! Glad I motivated you though ! It is one amazing quilt.
Quilting takes long, sing a little jingle to keep yourself going
Lloks great. I get so bored straight line quilting. Mind you, i might need something mindless to distract me from those moped antic - eek!
That IS a big quilt to wrestle through the machine. It will be gorgeous when you are finished.
I like straight lines - you always know where they should go next! Foor hard down and GO
What a beautiful quilt. Sounds like you had a fun weekend.
It sounds like you had a great time over the weekend! Nice quilt and you'll be done soon....
