June 15th Stash Report

This week was not a productive week for me. I got the heels/toes sewn onto 2 more socks. So I am starting to make progress. And I prepped more heels/toes to start sewing on tonight. Otherwise no sewing for me this week. I did stop at the LQS and came out without buying a thing!! Next week won't be as good as my Designer Mystery BOM package arrives that Vicky megged me on!

If I had a brain....

I would be dangerous! lol I have just spent the past 10 minutes looking for the new Joann Fabrics sales flyer. Couldn't find it...so I went to their website only to discover that the current ad is good thru this coming Saturday! DUH!! I tried working on socks last night...and ended up throwing them on the cutting table and walking away. I was trying to prep the 11 blocks that are ready for heels and toes and my nails were getting in the way and things just weren't working out. So nail appointment today, they will be shorter by the time I get home! LOL I want these 11 done so I can move on to more! LOL

Sunday report

This past was a fairly good one for me. I sewed more on my quilt for an hour which is almost a top now! Was able to get the blocks sewn into a table runner and bordered and worked more on socks. And can now say I have one completely finished! Gonna be knocking these out fast now...deadline is fast approaching. I did add 1/2 yard of fabric for more socks.

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.

It's Quiltathon Day!!

And I have the day off work! So I am gonna rev up the machine and get some sewing done today. Will post updates and pics as the day goes on. Well I'm off to tidy up the kitchen and get dinner in the crockpot.

Finally getting out of rotten mood I've been in....

The past few days I have not been in the best of moods....and it is finally turning around. On a good note I have Weds off and it is 1 of 2 days this week that Judy is hosting her Quiltathon! I so plan on sewing Weds. Ran up to the grocery store earlier and picked up a beef roast to put in the crockpot and some lunchmeat to make a sandwhich for lunch. I am all set in the food department! There are a number of projects that I want to get working on and try and finish up. Have been working slowly on my socks for Mar's Lost Sock Swap and have 6 ready for heels and toes and 6 more waiting to be stitched down to the backgrounds. My goal is to sew a couple or more everynight.

Stashbusting Report

Geesh did Judy have to remind us that 5 months of the year are over with? LOL I just read Judy's blog and see that there is a reason why I keep buying fabric! Thank you Judy for pointing out the various reasons. Now to get my husband to understand it as well. Hmmm...thinking that may take some work.

I didn't accomplish a whole lot this week, other than finishing up 24 blocks for Judy's Quilt For An Hour....I had hoped to have it into a top this weekend, but that didn't happen. My energy got up and left for this week. So here's hoping this week is much better. I have a number of things I really want to do and a few I need to do. I have really got to get busy on those socks the end of July will be here before I know it! I'm thinking after posting this that I will go and get some cut out and prep some blocks so I can stitch while watching baseball this week.
