Gives new meaning to your "Forever" quilt.

Just keep on keeping on and you will get there. 

I finally have a plan for the hexi cubes so if it works I will begin the quilting today if I have time. I am working on my biggest ever sewing project....my DBIL is designing a skirt to go all the way around our RV for the Winter. His sewer showed me how to use the industrial machine. Yesterday I made 3 mega huge panels and that is about 1/4 of the around. It included 3 zippers.

Wowser .. that IS a huge undertaking.  Fortunately, I don't think it will particularly intricate .. just a LOT of fabric.  :-)

not something you'd want to sew on a FW!

Well there are many pieces. 34 yards of 61 inch wide vinyl fabric. 14 big zippers. More parts than you would think. DBIL is doing all the planning, measuring, cutting and snap setting. I just sew what he tells me. This takes the biggest sewing project I have ever sewn. No quilting today.

Sounds like a lot of work but it's going to be so amazing when you're through.

Love your hexi cubes - it will be fun to see how you decide to quilt them.

Talk about a huge project.  It should help the RV stay warmer though - and just in time since cooler weather is headed to the west side of the country - even AZ is going to get cooler.  Starting tomorrow we'll be in the 40s in the mornings when we go out walking - brrrr.

Our water in the RV froze twice last winter, once for 2 weeks. We left for quarantine before Winter was done. It has already frozen once this Fall during the cold front I October. This skirt will keep out the wind as well as we can heat that space just enough to keep the holding tanks from freezing.

I'm still working on UFO's and Block Bins.  Another 4-Patch quilt for Project Linus and the leftover fabric from My Christmas Heaven made into 4.5" Four Patch Blocks.  Not sure where I'm going with the Christmas blocks but I wanted to used the remaining fabric and get it made into something useable.  There are 164 of the Christmas one.  
   

and I've been actually quilting some of the previous UFO's in my "expanded" setup in my sewing room.  The cabinet is not for the Singers I have, but will accommodate several of my machines. I pulled the cabinet up next to my big desk and it's working really well for support of the quilts.  I wanted something I could setup quickly when I got in the mood for FMQ. This is my answer.  I have other machines setup in the Living/Dining area.
