Yesterday morning I decided to make it a sewing day. I quilted most of the day and evening on Monday and needed a break.
It felt good and I got a lot done but as always thought I should have accomplished more.
The binding is on the baby quilt I made a little label for it too.
I printed out updates for my photo journal. I still need to print out pictures of finishes. Perhaps today or tomorrow.
I wrestled the big bear put the binding and label on My Christmas quilt.
I put together this Quilts for Kids top.
I took a few minutes before I started assembling it and wrote down the amount of fabric needed for one.
And then last night I went to Jo Ann's and bought some fabric for another one. It's all been washed and waiting to be pressed and cut.
I have the center rows sewn together on my string quilt.
(same ole picture, forgot to take an updated one).
I just realized I didn't think about a stop border fabric for this quilt. I could have picked that up last night too. Dang, I'm going to have to go shopping again! Dang!
;)
I did not get to my 1/2 bushel of apples for apple butter yet.
Today I must clean.
I think I can put off grocery's for a few more days.
Then I'm going to try for another sewing day.
I finally got this kit in. I ordered it a while ago but it was on back order. I remember I wanted to get it last year, but the same deal (back ordered) so I just forgot about it. I'd seen a sample when I was on that "Spooktakular Bus Tour" a few years ago and was really sorry that I didn't purchase the pattern then. It's been one of those things that kept bugging me: " you should have got it when you had the chance, you should have got it..."
I also have a paper piecing block of a witch that I downloaded who knows when last year that I found and was going to attempt yesterday but I had no solid black fabric in my stash!! I couldn't believe it. Isn't that a staple or something? Like sugar and flour in the pantry.
Oh and I don't think I showed this picture.
I finally made pillowcases (using that cool tube method).
I know everyone has been making these for e.v.e.r. I'm just late to the party. Two of these have been gifted but the rest will be donated for one of my guild's community service project.
I took a kit home from the meeting last month and after making it went and got all this fun fabric to make more.
Oh, the sun did come out yesterday.
I'm hoping it shows up again today.
I missed it.
Fun times, fun times. Life is Good!
