Well I had both success and setbacks this week. I started out with a set back. I’m working on Texas Tumbleweed. It’s in Bonnie Hunter’s book More Adventures with Leaders and Enders.
Last week I got one step done…
This week I got more done but I started out with a set back. These were suppose to be for step G. Yep. I sewed the wrong. UGH. I’ll add them to the pieces I sewed wrong last week. Who knows..maybe they can get together and make some type of quilt someday.
Happily I did go on and sew them correctly.
I even got them sewn into blocks….see?
All of the blocks are sewn and I’m so happy. I love these blocks. I love the batiks and think they are great!!
I even had enough time to go on and start in on the next steps of the alternate blocks.
I need to keep working on these. The wedding is on October 7th. That isn’t too far away. I have momentum on my side. That always helps. I’m hoping for a big sewing day this weekend. As I’m writing this nothing is planned for that weekend so maybe I could sneak one day of sewing in. That would go a long way on getting this quilt closer to a finish!!
Find me here next week. I need to have this close to a top by then if I’m going to meet my deadline.
I put my sewing machine in a time out because I have too many waiting to be quilted and need to concentrate on that job. A friend took 6 tops to quilt for donation and it barely made a dent.
Hi Jo,
I love your Texas Tumbleweed blocks! I’m taking that class with Bonnie next month and am very excited to be working on it.

Hi Jo,
As always I enjoy reading your blog. I haven’t done any machine sewing for a couple of weeks as I am in ND with my parents who are in the hospital. But I started a hand sewing project (which I said I would never do). It is called Smitten by Lucy Kingwell. I am also doing a project out of an old Quiltmaker magazine. I am doing it in redwork instead of applique. Love your Texas Tumbleweeds in the batiks.
love Bonnie’s quilt patterns but can’t believe you are working on a deadline that is so close – that would drive me nuts – hope you get it done on time.
Oh! How funny that Ana had to put her machine in time out! :) Sewing weekend with my mom starts Friday after work. . .trying to prep and pack for that. :) Made some small progress on May Flowers. . .
