I had such a busy-busy week last week. Â We had the garage sale, the girls were all here for the weekend, Carver turned one. Â I didn’t think I would accomplish much as all…but I did manage to get a few more string blocks done for my spider web quilt. Â Honestly it’s been stolen moments here and there as that was the only time I had.
Then Friday night after the garage sale closed we were visiting over a glass of wine and before I knew it, Kelli was trimming the stack of string blocks I had done, Kayla was knitting and I was de-papering. Â I ended up getting LOTS more done than I intended. Â We trimmed and de-papered 56 of them… Â Whoot-Whoot!!
I didn’t count them immediately. Â I figured I was close to enough. Â Then Sunday morning I got up early and sewed a few more.
After counting I had 252 finished and need 256. Â In Sunday morning’s sewing session I did 10 more so I have all I need plus a few. Â That means all I need to do is trim and de-paper these and I’m finished. Â I was so excited as I thought I could clean up the mess from string piecing in my sewing room but I’m planning a scrappy border so that likely won’t be happening until that’s sewn.
All of this is screeching to a halt though. Â I have to finish that wedding quilt…and then a quilt for publication. Â I’m gonna still squeeze in a little me time sewing not matter what I have on the burner. Â That’s how I keep sane!!!
Those of you who went to the retreat…how are your retreat projects coming? I’m so excited that this is so close to the assembly stage!!
Wow I need quilting fairies like yours
My spider web is finished and gifted. Working on points of interest!
Baby gifts have taken over my quilting time right now. I am still L&Eing pieces for Thanks to You, but that one is moving right along as I am whipping out star points like crazy. Have to start putting them into blocks, so I know what I have left to make. Last count was still 101 blocks to make.
Also need to set aside some time to clean OUT the sewing room.
I am working my Points quilt, and today I sewed some spiderwebs too. I have been piecing 4 inch log cabin blocks made with 1 inch logs, I got the 500th one done and now will need to figure out a lay out. We’ve had the grands here a few different times and the garden has been keeping me busy with canning, but it is always nice to fit in a little sewing!
Carver the dog already 1 year, time flies eh!!!
Carver is the grandson——NOT a dog !!!!
