Stash Busting Report

Well it is Sunday yet again, boy this week flew by !! I had a large list of things that I wanted to get done this week and did pretty good. Here was my list.

1. Of course the Block of the Week block (done)

2. Finish quilting Isis's Grandmother's Fan quilt. (almost )

3. Sew up all the ornies for the ornie exchange (2 of 5 done )

4. Quilt 2 more blocks of the Sampler quilt. (nope )

5. Add a couple of more rows to the Bowtie quilt. ( 2 more added)

6. Do a little bit more on the orphan quilt ( done )

So overall not bad considering that I worked 63 hours this week. Even without the school work life tends to get in the way :( Here is my list for this upcomming week :

1. Block of the Week

2. A little more on the Orphan Block Quilt

3. stitch 2 more ornies

4. 1 Bowtie Row

5. unpick the mess up I made on Isis's quilt

6. Try not to stress over quilting the Sampler Quilt

7. Put together a trade block

Hope I do better this week than I did last week !

New Swap

There is a new Swap over at the Stitchin Fingers Forum. It's for crazy quilted ornies. Looks like it will be a whole bunch of fun! I am going to stitch up my blanks today and get a little bit of the embroidery done while I am taking Cheyenne to one of her freinds B-day parties. Won't you come play with us ? I will post pic of my progress tonight :) If you need the addy to Stitchin Fingers click on the tag Stitchin Fingers in my side bar. Hope to see you there!

Wow !

Two post in one day, it's been awhile since I have been able to manage that :) Well I got alot done today - of the 20 blocks on my Sampler Quilt I was able to get 6 of them quilted. I hope to have this monkey off of my back by Monday or Tuesday. I was also able to get 2 more seams done on my Fall C.Q. , it felt good to get away from the sewing machine for a bit to do some hand stitching.
Over at Stitchin Fingers some of us ( me being one of those some ) have decided to revisit Sharon B's 100 stitches. I think that this will really inspire me to kick this Fall C.Q. in the butt and get it done. I have decided on a layout for my Fall quilt. I am going to do 20 blocks and then add a a red 2 inch border around that, after the red border I will add a 6 inch crazy quilted border followed by a 4 inch black border. This will give me a very nice sized wall hanging. Well almost 3 blocks done only 17 more to go LOL, I wonder how much I can get done before classes start up again this Fall? I am kinda dreading to see school start back in again, it takes everything I have to do school,work and the dogs. I really wish that there were more hours in one day :) However as for school I have some wonderful news, finial grades were posted yesterday, I have an A in both History and English. I am so happy, I was really having a hard time in English and was wondering if I was going to pass it but I did so I don't have to worry about having to retake the course.
