I broke my word to you.

Last night was very busy and the camera was the last thing on my mind.

I did do some more fabric cutting on this project.

However, I committed to knitting hats for the Lighthouse Youth Services in Cincinnati and had one pink hat to finish. I turned in all the hats this week and now am free to get back to my sewing.

I told DH that I would be in the sewing / craft room this evening. He was not delighted...he'll have to learn to deal with it.

Have a great day. I hope to have pictures for you very very soon.

FNSI -- December 10

I actually had progress Friday. I have a quilt that I am making for a co-worker. It is intended as a Christmas present.

The fabrics are black, rust and blue with white stars. Also there is a coordinated fabric of the blue with white stars with penguins all over. The center square is 7" by 7" and is surrounded by 7" by 2 1/2" blocks in the black and 2 1/2" half square triangles in the orange and blue with white stars fabric. I took pictures and will try to post them this evening.

I have completed one block and have enough half square triangles for an additional 12 blocks. The blocks will be sewn together with the blocks set on point.

After I post the pictures this evening, I will continue to take pictures and post them as the quilt top is completed. It will be tied rather than quilted due to the procrastination of the quilter. LOL.

Have a great day.

Friday Night Sew In

They are having two FNSI this month. The 10th and the 17th. Maybe this time I will get some pictures to post. LOL.

Promises

I promised to show you what I did Friday.

I did take pictures.

Life has been filled with stress related opportunities?

I will post them A.S.A.P.

Sorry.

Have a great day

Tonight is FNSI

This month I am going to take my camera into my sewing area and work and take pictures.

Will post everything before noon tomorrow.

Have a great day

Tonight is Friday Night Sew In

Right now everything is still packed up from our very recent second trip to Gatlinburg. I really don't want to unpack because I have Saturday Breakfast Club to attend tomorrow, so I will just have to do something other than sewing.

I am leaving in two weeks for the 4th Annual Crafty Friends Retreat starting October 1. I am really anticipating a great weekend with many successes. I haven't decided what projects to take with me. Last year I had several and left all that I wasn't working on in the car and only went out for another project when I had completed the first. It was the most productive retreat I have ever been on.

I am leaning on my paper pieced BOM Crystal Reflections. I started one block during the first trip to Gatlinburg and I feel that I am getting the hang of it. I would really like to make a major dent into that project during the retreat.

Have a great day.

Tonight is Friday Night Sew In

I have a few blocks to finish cutting out for the Christmas Quilt for my MIL. I will need this fabric all cut out before September 4.

I also found the pattern for the Apache Tears Quilt for DH. I don't know what prep I need before September 4.

You ask what is September 4? I am going to Gatlinburg all by myself for a week of tranquility. I will take all my food so I don't have to go to restaurants. I will take my swim suit and attend aerobics Monday through Thursday at the timeshare inside pool. I will also swim laps at the timeshare outside pool. I plans to enjoy the activities given to owners at the timeshare. All in all I do not plan to leave the property at all unless the new Jo Ann's store in Severville calls to me or I have forgotten something. I will be saving gas too.

Have a great day quilting.
