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.

Friday Night Sit In -- July

Sorry that I haven't posted anything. I did work on the Breakfast Club Dutch quilt and have 24 blocks put together. I have additional blocks under construction. These blocks will continue until I have run out of fabric or do not have enough to add logically to the top. It will be either lap size or twin size.

Have a great day

Fund Raising Quilts Finished

I finished both quilts Friday morning about 5:15 A.M. DD picked them up on her way to work. Everyone she talked to said that they looked great. I took some pictures and will attach later. The camera is downstairs and I am upstairs for the night.

Have a great day.

Fund Raising Quilt Update

I have the binding sewn on the NICU quilt and am hand stitching it on.

The other baby quilt is pieced and quilted. I wanted to use the feather stitch on my machine, but after three unsewing of about 20" total I gave up and just did a straight stitch from corner to corner on the blocks.

I need to sew the binding on and finish the quilt.

DD will be picking them both up tomorrow morning about 7:25 A.M.

Have a great day.
