Baby quilt almost done...

This is the baby quilt that I have been working on for the past few days. The top is done and I am now onto the backing.....currently I have laid out scraps from the top and am thinking of using them for the backing. What do you think?

Stashbusting Report #10

This past week was pretty good as far as sewing. I was able to complete another snowflake block, make the Feb House BOM for the LQS and get 90% of the baby quilt top made. So all in all a great week. I don't have my totals for the week done yet, will update those next week. The baby quilt I am working on is one a co-worker asked me to make for her Grandson. I have to hurry and get it done and give to her either Weds or Thurs. It is turning out really cute.

Squirrels!

This morning I was sitting at my computer and heard this noise like something landed on the screen enclosure around the patio....I went out to see what it was, and found Eddie crouched down looking upward stalking something, which turned out to be a grey squirrel...this little guy kept going back and forth and then finally went over to a tree and then after a little bit jumped down and ran in front of where Eddie was and then left the yard....sure did keep the cat busy for awhile!

Cats!

As many of you know our daughter has a cat and his name is Eddie. Well for some reason he thinks he should come in our room at various times of the night for loving and just general aggravating! LOL He has his own door to the lania (patio) which is screened in. He will go out it during the night, but when he thinks it is time to come in, he will come over to the dining room sliding door and sit there and meow and if that doesn't wake me up, he will stand up on his hind legs and knock on the door with his front paws! Now mind you he has no front claws so you know he is hitting the door kinda hard for me to hear him. So I ignore him, doesn't work....hmpffff, up I get and let him in...well he beats me back to bed! LOL and proceeds to go over to Jim and stand on his side and look him in the eye and of course Jim ignores him and Eddie then comes to me...I try ignoring him, but have you ever tried ignoring something that weights roughly 18 pounds and has his front paws with all his weight on them on your sternom or worse yet your boobie! Oh my gosh! So I end up petting him and he settles down and then leaves....but oh wait he comes back again and now it is 5:30 AM! When this happened the other night I thought what is going on he normally comes in around 6:30 AM and wakes us up...so I go and check the calendar and low and behold this weekend we change the clocks....guess Eddie's clock is changing ahead of schedule....LOL CATS! can't live with them! can't live without them! Kinda like husbands and kids!

Stashbusting Report #9

This week was a fairly good week for me! I feel good about what I accomplished. I was able to put the borders on a fall mystery quilt I had made a few years ago, make an apron and a totebag! Just read Judy's report and like her I too am counting the fabric as used once it is off the shelf and cut for the project. I did that with the snowflakes and yes I am still making them but have only counted that fabric one time.

Quiltathon #1

I had planned on quilting up a storm this weekend...however life and some food I ate Saturday interferred....However I did make 2 rail fence and 1 star block for a QOV quilt and worked more on my snowflakes and cut out templates for the Lost Sock Swap and a Sun Bonnet Sue I want to make. I guess after reading what I just typed I didn't do so bad after all!

Saturday was a basic waste of a good day...

Got up with lots plans for sewing all morning. Jim was gonna be gone getting the car fixed and it was gonna be me and Eddie! Well car couldn't be worked on, so we took my ring and bracelet back to the jewelers to get fixed, stopped for lunch and I had a BBQ pulled pork sandwhich on a garlic hoagie roll and that was the end of me for the day. I ended up late Saturday evening taking Sunday off...didn't want to chance feeling better in the morning or not...So no sewing for me, other than I did pet some fabric at the LQS while there picking up some thread.
