I'm so sorry to hear about your Oscar. I used to have a huge one named Bertha.
I ended up not getting a single thing done today. Got so sleepy around noon that I laid down for a nap and just recently woke up. Another wasted day! |
No goals here for sewing today, but if I get the urge, I might just pick up my needle and thread and stitch another block. Lately, I have become very interested in hand piecing.
|
Unpack my machine from retreat and stitch about 20 roses.
|
Lets see.... finish up secret pal, Santa secret pal, pot holders, a mini quilt I am making for a friend, creating gifts, or beginning them,for Christmas, and somewhere do a little cleaning the house. especially the sewing room!

I am having an exciting day today. On Saturday I traden in my old SUV for a newer (a 2005) Subaru and I pick up my new car this afternoon. I am a bit nervous being and doing this by myself but I am happy with the procedings and with the dealer and with the price I got for both trade in and purchase. Wish me luck quilters and good health in and with my new car. Then once I calm down I have to clean house (UGH) then happily I well work on my Christmas projects. Happy Happy everyone.

Finishing and mailing a GD felt pillow project and complete a sweatshirt project for her sister. May end up at Goodwill but oh well. Working on a quilt made of ties for another GD's graduation. No end as Christmas bears down on us.
|
I too have had a round of not feeling well with strep throat and near pneumonia but I do not think I feel that good yet.
|
I wish I had time to quilt today. Ugh! I work all day and then have a Council Meeting tonight followed by a workshop. I may get home by 9 or 10pm. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:
|
I like to sew every day, just some days, can't fit it in!!
I will be working on some costumes for Church pageant and hope to get to a new quilt block (6"):( within the next day or two. Then, I get to start on my next quilt for the DGS bedroom. Will need two twins for that. Should be fun. |
Oh, and we are leaving for Paducah Ky on Thursday. Going to see the Quilt Museum!! I am so excited;)
|
I am invited to lunch on Thursday so want to decorate a kitchen towel with a Fall machine applique design and quilt some pot holders in Fall colors for a hostess gift.
|
I don't have any sewing goals for today for I'm at work but yesterday I set my sites on pinning in a quilt, putting the binding on a christmas gift and putting a top together. I got all that done plus binding on three baby quilts and I cooked lunch and went to mass. Makes me tired just tying all this......
|
Have to go to the dentist today then with my significant other and pick up his granddaughter so no sewing for me today
|
I have a quilt that I am hand quilting I am going to work some more on today. My goal is to finish it while I am house sitting this week. All except the binding. I only brought this so I could concentrate on it. I started it back in 03 while I was recovering from surgery. The recovery took months so I had plenty of time. It is all appliqued. It was my first hand appliqued quilt so not perfect but it is going to my granddaughter eventually . Her mom gave me money for the sashing and backing and to finish it for her about 5 yrs ago figured it was about time. lol And it will be on UFO that doesn't have to be packed and moved.
|
I wish I were quilting.I am altering costume for a play that opens Friday night.I hate alterations but it seems I the only one who sews.
|
My goals for tonight when I get home from work are.. Finish my D9P top, I just have to add the borders to it now. and stop by the quilt store and buy the "Fight like a girl" quilt. I have till saturday to finish that top up and then I can quilt it on the Gammill at my mothers, for my Mother-in-laes birthday. It may be a stretch but it only a lap quilt so it shouldn't be too bad. Then all day Saturday I'm putting my Ipod on and going to town on the quilts.
|
Sewing goals for today:
1. Figure out the border quilting design. 2. Execute Goal #1 3. Afterwards, pick out all of the other border quilting design blunders from yesterday (extremely small stitches >:( ) 4. Trim it off and bind the quilt. 5. Hopefully, after studying for tomorrow's Calculus exam, finish any remaining outstanding items with the quilt. 6. Name the quilt. People have said the quilt is just too pretty to not name it. 7. Stop sewing, really. |
Gosh, grann -- and I'm just hoping to dig through the piles to get to my scissors and sewing machine (LOL). You inspire me!
|
Wow...you are one busy woman! Congratulations on your good heart report. I am going to finish up my first Bow Tucks tote today. I'll post a picture when it's finished. I have to go buy a button. I do have a lap quilt that is in the process of quilting. I may try to do some work on it. But, what I really need to do is some housework....ha!
|
I think we will be cleaning the garage today. Sunday is our annual pumpkin carving party. We have so much fun. Been doing it for 27 years.

Got part way to work and the sewing machine was calling me. Home again I have some vests for Halloween to make at the request of DGD's. Thankfully I have a job that I can take time off when the sewing urge takes over.
|
I need to tear out a block on a quilt, replace a piece that had a flaw I didn't notice, put it back together, add the border and iron. Then take it to my quilting friend to have it quilted. (Maybe I will do that part tomorrow.) LOL

Start some machine embroidery for a Christmas project, do 2 weeks worth of laundry, Make a couple handbags my DDIL (and myself) have been requesting. That should take me to noon :roll: :lol: :-D Now what are you guys doing today? Oh, and my DDIL & I went to a perennial nursery yesterday and I got about 30 plants to insert into the ground at some point.
