I have actually gotten a lot done this past week. I decided to sort my wips to see what I still had to get done this year. I have so much that I didn't get finished!! I need to sit today and make a new list !!! Don't you just love lists!@!
I made a set of cushion covers for my Aunt in Scotland and got them mailed I mailed a small wall quilt already to my Grandmother for a lady that does her housework for her ( home help career) then another one for my cousin that has been very good about looking in on her for us. I thought I had finally finished the overseas projects and could get a move on and catch up my crinoline for my friend when I got a call from Grandma to ask if I would make some more quilts as she thought of some others she would like to give gifts for !!! The total so far is 5 more wall quilts with her thinking of others over the next few days!!!
So I sat on monday from 6 am until 5 pm and dragged out all my project boxes and started cutting backings and batting to go with boms that I have from this year and then cut extra quilts for her and got them all ready to sew. by last night I finally got the applique caught up with the starch and turning ready to be sewn this weekend. Today I need another cutting day to get three more quilts re cut as she decided they can't be x-mas patterns!! she now wants year round quilts thank goodness they are mini quilts but I tell you I'm tired of looking at birdhouses !!!!I will have to dig for a different pattern for applique today!!
I finished Esthers bom block for July this week as well and have all the freezer paper drawn on but I haven't picked ,my material yet hopefully this week. I have all my other boms blocks pinned and ready to hand sew now all in a box by my sitting chair hopefully there is some good movies on this weekend!!
Well I hope you all have a great week and look forward to reading all your blogs!!
Have fun!
