Record # quilts in a week...

I am hoping this invokes some really great communication between myself and all the quilters out there, young and old, new and experienced. Quilts are great, they are an addiction and most of us, give away far many more quilts than we keep.

I want to know what is the most quilts you have made in one week, without anyone else's assistance? Large or small, size doesn't matter.

As for me, the most I have so far put together is 9 in one week for the Virginia Tech Dispatchers and I am still behind the quilting frame on these, as I have more to make, but lately it just seems that life gets in my way & I don't have all the time I want or need to keep up with everything.

So, this week, I am hoping to finish the handwork on a quilt I truly want to enter into the local fair just to say I have tried it. I have to finish adding the flip-flop buttons to my granddaughters birthday quilt and I have to work on a crazy quilt.

While doing these things, lets not forget, I have to clean the house, do the laundry, fix dinner, go to work, give 3 small children baths, meet with our churches VBS director because I am in charge of registration & find a full-time job since my Americorps position ends on Tuesday.

I am looking to make some quilts for the fire victims in California, so if you would like to help, I am in desperate need of batting for these quilts. They will all be between lap, crib and double bed sized.

I am looking for a new sewing machine and it doesn't have to be brand new, but it does need to be easy to use, have multiple stitches, easy bobbin winding. I know many of you are quilters and quilt shop owners. Many of you started out small like I did and have moved to short and long arm quilting.

If you have a nice sewing machine you could donate to me, I would appreciate it and I am willing to pay the postage. If you know of a quilting shop or fabric store that may be giving away used machines, please let me know.
