Yesterday I finished the Small houses 3 & 4 blocks for my BOM I'm doing.
I was so surprised yesterday when I read pumpkinpatchbc dot com blog she shared my first 3 monkeys from her BOM along with another person's. So fun to see blocks made with entirely different fabrics.

I just cut and folded my first binding and now, I'm off to sew it on. I can do the hand sewing part while I watch Peaky Blinders...again.

quiltingshorttimer--I need to do a deep cleaning here but quilting or reading usually convinces me to procrastinate 
tropit--glad the VQWs help keep you motivated.
petthefabric--glad your quilting injury wasn't more serious!
Wasn't quite as productive today as yesterday. Machine decided to throw a temper tantrum so spent too much time trying to fix it. It's the bobbin case again so ordered another one and switched to backup machine. I did finish this week's three clues for Sew on the Go's mystery quilt along. Tomorrow is another day!

Everyone is making awesome progress this weekend except me!
So much for getting anything done today, I did make it to the quilt shop and found a backing for the UFO I'm about to finish so I at least accomplished that part of my list. The visit with my brother and his family went longer than we planned but it was so nice to see them and Laura is getting so big! Didn't get back until after 5 today and tired from the drive so no cleaning tonight. But tomorrow after we get our second shots it tackling the sewing room. 3 quilts without cleaning... this is why I need to address my mess.

thimblebug6000, those little houses are so cute!
Dedemac, my room is headed toward looking like yours - how we get anything at all done in this chaos is a mystery. I did tackle the ceiling fan in here, today, but had lots of other housework because we had company until a bit ago.
cjsews, that is one sweet quilt and I love the little bunny bag! Where did you find that pattern? I'd love to make some of those for the grands and the neighbors.
I'm going to finish the quilting on "Cherry Cordials" tonight and maybe at least get the binding glued on, if not sewn.
Tomorrow, I'll finish up along with the Spinning Wheels Log Cabin. So, not as much as I'd hoped to do, but my house is cleaner than I'd planned on and I got to play with my grandson for a while.

My Sunday morning update of progress::::::::::::
1. Finish hand sewing binding on January Color Block Quilt. - Done
2. Finish piecing the February Color Block Quilt
3. Go shopping for fabric for Harriet's Journey Quilt - Done and fun!
4. Make shamrock cookies for my son....Patrick. (Also made him a 5 inch apple pie for "PI" day. We are a silly pair!!)
5. Do a "clean up" in my sewing room. (Dust, vac. and put away the odds and ends).
That should do. I will be cheering if I get that much done.
Will have some time this afternoon and evening to at least get #5 out of the way and make progress on #2.

CJsews, wonderful charity quilt and adorable bunny sack...thank you for sharing the pattern info.
Dedemac, I see what you mean...it would be difficult to focus on a sewing project but hope you make great progress tidying your room.
Petthefabric, I hope you are feeling better each day. I can sympathize as it has been two weeks now for me with this annoying vertigo thing.
WMUTeach, you are inspiring and I’m glad you are getting so much accomplished this weekend. I think I need to start a list so I can stay focused.
i got tied up with real estate yesterday...I put a house on the market last Saturday for $825k and put it under contract yesterday. The market here in Maine is crazy...mostly buyers from out of state.
