August Update

Today is August 20

Oops! Only 11 days left to sew

these 40 diamonds onto the center portion...

they are all pressed and just need the paper taken

out of them and then I can get started....I figure if

I sew 5 or more each night, I'll make it.   

 But first, I've got 

to finish this...shouldn't take more than an hour, right?

I'm glad I went with the pink background

pieces as suggested..I'm liking the way it looks...

and since my applique blocks are white, I think

this was a good choice.....now on with the show...

I Have a Catch Up Plan

I have a plan.  

I have blanket stitched the outsides of March and April and am now going to applique the centres on.

I will do this over two nights after I finish my night shifts (yep I am doing them....again so soon)

I have cut out and drawn circles and squares for the other months.

I will catch up.

The last couple of months have been stressful here.  I will not go into to much detail but sometimes the last thing I want to do is stitch sometimes, but crossing my fingers things get better here.

I thought this year was going to be a good year.....it still may be..... fingers crossed.  I will divulge into it more at a later date.

I'm still working on them

I was able to sew today and yesterday on my blocks. It has been a while since I last posted on what I have accomplished. But it has been on my mind, thank you Chooky for encouragement 

So here is what I have so far.

I know it's not much but I have some blocks to embroider and when I do I will have the first 2 strip completed.

Time it ticking.

SAL Updated Again...

It's my turn to do the updating and lots of people have been busy!! I can see some great quilt tops that are ALMOST finished!!

Do we need to do a count down until the end of the month for our TTS??

Who feels like they have fallen off the wagon - so to speak?

Is there a rule that you can't start the next SAL until you've finished the previous one?

I have my 2nd TTS quilt all pieced and ready for borders. I just have to find that motivation. Not sure where it's gone really!!

Anyways, the SAL is updated again. Give me a yell if I've missed anyone on here.

It's HOLIDAY time here when Master 6 gets home from school this afternoon. So excited about no uniforms, early bus times, packed lunches etc. YIPPEE!!

Happy Holidays!!
