It's Friday!
 
It is Friday and as soon as I finish work, I am heading home to my sewing room. The weather is supposed to be cold and snowy, and I have nothing scheduled for the whole weekend, except quilting. I can't wait! My sewing room has been out of commission for a few weeks, as it is used as our guest room also. Now the guests are all gone and I can have my room back. Time to take down the pullout sofa and put up my Bernina, the cutting table and ironing board. The first project is to start a quilt for my new grandson, he is 6 weeks old already, and grandma hasn't had time to make his quilt. Maybe I will check in with you all for a few minutes over the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy sewing ! Supposed to be cold here in Northeastern PA too, I'm so glad I have lots of quilt projects to keep me busy !

Raggiemom 02-10-2012 05:00 AM

Sounds like you have a busy productive weekend planned. I'm planning to spend part of the weekend in the sewing room too. I have a couple quilts I'd like to finish and get off the UFO pile! :) Have fun making your grandson's quilt.

Hope you have fun this weekend. The woman at work got a new grandson yesterday so I plan to make her a quilt this weekend. Actually that means tomorrow, hubby informed me we have plans for all day Sun.

Thank Heavens for weekends! Mine started early as I am off today. After the obligatory housework for the day/weekend, it's off to my sewing room for me too. After today, may not get back in there for awhile, got to take advantage of it. Flash freeze for this area of Ontario, Canada forecast for today, good day to stay by the fire.

Its raining here this morning. I agree with you. What a wonderful day to sew and what a wonderful way to start the weekend!

joyce888 02-10-2012 06:01 AM

Happy sewing!

annthreecats 02-10-2012 06:08 AM

That's exactly what I'm doing this weekend. No specific plans for anything so after work it just me, the cats, the dog and my quilt in progress. Yeah. Can't wait.

sahm4605 02-10-2012 06:35 AM

It is a yucky day here also. but have too many things to do before I can set up my sewing. Maybe if my mom takes the kids today I can have a few min to sew.

mighty 02-10-2012 06:55 AM

Have a great weekend, happy sewing!!!

Tink's Mom 02-10-2012 07:14 AM

enjoy your weekend. HAPPY SEWING.

mhansen6 02-10-2012 07:17 AM

Have fun. It sounds like my weekend. The weather here is supposed to be cold and rainy. Great weekend to spend in the sewing room.

efayard 02-10-2012 07:17 AM

Sounds perfect. Hope you get a lot accomplished. Have fun!

Annaquilts 02-10-2012 07:18 AM

Sounds great! It is fun to have company but it is is good if they go again. LOL Atleast if they are in your sewing room. Making baby quilts is the best. Besure to post a picture when you are done.

pinkberrykay 02-10-2012 07:19 AM

WOO HOO, I love Fridays. Today I am prepping for a quilt class tomorrow, and working on a Mystery Quilt my LQS is hosting. Cold and snowing here in the Northern Midwest, and hoping for a bunch of snow.:D

tngal22 02-10-2012 07:49 AM

Well hubby has drill so no sewing for me unless Little Bit lets me, which I highly doubt. I did finish up two scarves for her teachers for V-Day but need to buy some fabric before I can start my mom's quilt.

Have fun sewing!

Rosewood9 02-10-2012 08:04 AM

It's cold here too and I plan on doing the same thing. Don't ya just love it!

pacquilter 02-10-2012 09:20 AM

Cold weather redeems itself again!

AnnieH 02-10-2012 09:28 AM

Have a wonderful sewing weekend. Sounds good to me. Hope you have fun and get lots done.

I'm also staying in my sewing room today. I want to work on the last of the applique blocks I'm working on - I won't get done, but closer to done. I'm working on "Friendship Dahlia" blocks, making the pedals with scraps. Similar to:

RonieM 02-10-2012 10:02 AM

That is what I am doing also. I haven't had much time to get up there lately, but I plan on hunkering down and getting stuff done this weekend!

Sandra in Minnesota 02-10-2012 11:16 AM

Sounds like the perfect weekend. Enjoy!

Linnie 02-10-2012 11:44 AM

Have a great weekend

Lori S 02-10-2012 01:09 PM

Same forecast for cold and snow here.. .and yes there is quilting in my forecast as well. Hope you have a great time.

OKLAHOMA PEACH 02-10-2012 02:18 PM

Suppose to be cold here in OK this weekend also, going to cook a roast that will last all weekend, Son can stop by and have a bite, and will be sewing and sewing and ripping, trying to get those points right. Oh yes the cats and the dog, giving them the attention they demand. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Pam B 02-10-2012 06:13 PM

It is supposed to be windy, cold and snowy (just a couple inches, tho) here. Spending the weekend sewing sounds like a great thing...unfortunately, we are going to an early dinner and a basketball game tomorrow with DS and DIL and then on Sunday I am going to a baby shower for my niece (2 hours away). I will be one of those people asking "where did the weekend go?" on Monday morning. Very happy for all of you that will be spending the weekend working on quilty projects! Enjoy!!!

urgodschild2 02-10-2012 10:29 PM

Oh you made me think about my weekend that will extend into Wed of next week. My oldest is living with me because she has been out of work for 2 years now. I have three bedrooms, My son and grandson are occupying them. So my daughter has my living room where my Sewing machine is. So it has been hard for me to go down there and sew when ever I want. I do respect her privacy so my sewing has been limited. But she is going away for a job interview and will be gone from Sat to WEd. I will have all that time to sew when ever I want....early morning or late at night. YEAH. I am going to have so much fun.

katigirl 02-11-2012 12:59 AM

Sounds better than my weekend of working the whole time. Enjoy the time you have. Seems you can't get breaks like that very often. See even the weather is cooperating with making you want to stay in and sew.

SunlitenSmiles 02-11-2012 04:29 AM

I am starting new project (be quiet UFO & MIP) ultrasound says "it's a GIRL" my DGS e-mailed me and now it is full speed ahead on Darling Great Grand Daughter projects .................... color me happy !!!!!!

dahlshouse 02-11-2012 05:42 AM

Happy sewing... sounds like the perfect weekend...

mizkyp 02-11-2012 05:43 AM

Its cold here too. and a little snowy. I hope to spend some of my weekend quilting. And drinking hot chocolate.

bobquilt3 02-11-2012 06:01 AM

Boy, does that ring a bell. My sewing room is now my guest room, too. I love my guests but boy is it good to get the machine out again. . . and mine is also a Bernina.
Enjoy the wonderful, snowy weekend. It's snowing here in Lancaster, Pa but only on the grass (grin). . . but I'll still be home sewing.

celwood 02-11-2012 06:08 AM

Perfect way to end a week!!!!

babyboomerquilter 02-11-2012 08:52 AM

Sounds like bliss! Nothing better than a weekend with the sewing machine.

carolynjo 02-11-2012 09:09 AM

Enjoy! I plan to hunker down too. Snow flurries and cold here.
