Lots of finishing UFO's going on this week!

Now that I am finished with the socks, I can now work on other projects that have been laying around in various stages. First off I made the Christmas quilt top, last night was finish up Gone Camping top and then tonight I finished the Quilt for an Hour that Judy hosted back in May. Boy does it feel good to get some tops finished. I have a few halloween things I want to make, so will be starting to get those projects together tomorrow and will see what else is laying on the rocker over there wondering when it will get finished.

My progress for Weds

Well I spent alot of today on the phone. My Mom called like 3 times and a couple friends also. But I managed to put a beef roast and all the trimmings in the crockpot and then did some computer work. After that I mended an apron for a co-worker and then went on a hunt for some sunflowers I fussy cut for a table runner and no idea where Eddie hid them! LOL Gave up looking for them and moved on to some blocks that I got in a swap. They are gingerbread men and 9 patches. Got them sewn together and then auditioned fabrics for the borders. Finally picked the 2 that I am using and got those washed. Will iron, cut and sew them on tomorrow. Then I laid out the quilt for an hour blocks and got them how I wanted them and started sewing them together. I have quit for the night, but am going to try and get another sock sewn down while I watch the remainder of the Yankees game! Here's a pic of the blocks for the table runner.

All my blocks are done!

Last night after dinner I finished sewing up my blocks for Judy's Quilt for an Hour. Today after work I am planning on getting the sashing on them. This is turning out really nice. I might have to keep this one!

I think I'm on a roll now!

Sat down after work Tues and sewed up more quilt for an hour blocks. I now have 10 of them made. And last night I stitched down 2 more socks. Now I need to get more cut out and prepped on the background and get busy cutting and sewing some heels and toes!

Progress being made...

on both Judy's Quilt for an Hour and the Lost Sock Swap! Yesterday I got caught up on a couple steps and got 4 blocks made for the QFAH! Now I wish I didn't have to work today so I could get the rest of them made up! And while watching the end of a baseball game last night I got 2 sock blocks sewn. Now all I need to do is get the heels and toes on them and they are done!

Late Stash Report Week #21

This week I worked on Judy's Quilt for an Hour....I did purchase 2 yards of a patriotic star fabric yesterday...will come in handy for backing.....LOL Really am loving how this QFAH is turning out! Thanks so much Judy for doing this!

Judy asked this week how we are coming on our goal/s for stashbusting. I didn't set a goal for how much I wanted to bust....I will be happy as long as my net ytd totals busted for the year are not in the negative! LOL So I really have to slow down on my purchasing.

Year-to-Date Totals:
Busted: 57 1/2 yards
Purchased: 80 7/8 yards
Net YTD: <23> yards busted!

Quilt for an Hour progress

Well I am behind the eightball on this...I have step 1 completely done...step 2 cut out and am working on. I did cheat and move ahead and complete one block, so I could see if I liked my color choices for backgrounds. The purple in the picture is a little lighter than it is showing in the pic. But I think this color will work. This is the one color after I changed another one that I was worried about.

Possible fabrics for Judy's Quilt for an Hour

I think I have my fabrics picked out for this. There are a couple that I am not sure of.

So need your help. Would you change any of the colors for the stars? If, yes which ones?

Dark fabric for background on the left, light on the right..
