I made 396 HST, unfinished to 4". Then, I started to sew them together into 99 pinwheel blocks. 11 colors used in total. I completed all the HST, ironed,cut apart, ironed open, trimmed to 4". Still have some to go, about 108, I think. then, I switched projects and chose fabric for an alphabet baby quilt. I am foundation piecing the letters, got 6 done. Also, cooked dinner for several nights this week, played with the dogs, and slept.

I took a sewing machine demo class on Sat, then drove the kid back to college (2 hrs each way). Sunday was the day I was going to FINALLY make those curtains, but I lost all of my drawings and measurements and didn't have the energy to do them again. Instead, I installed my old software for my Viking 1+ and played with the embroidery.

Friday evening we drove to O'Hare Airport and picked up our visitor from Australia. Late night I finished a quilt for my soon to be DIL. Saturday morning I picked my DD and DGS up at the train station. That evening we went to the wedding shower and gave the quilt (and other gifts) to my new DIL. Sunday we had a big breakfast (I cooked) and in the afternoon I actually got to play my Quiltopoly game with this group!!! Today, took my DD and our Australian visitor to Chicago for the conference they are attending.......whew! Best part...I get to keep my grandson all week!

Well, I was going to finish a quilt but ended up ripping out stitiches because I caught the back and wrinkled it! Will hopefully finish it this week.

I got to meet with Sugarpumpkin and her DH on Saturday which was loads of fun.

Yesterday, I decided on a pattern for the round robin AND I have all the fabric in my stash.

On Saturday my DH and I helped a young couple from our church move into a new home. Sunday we went to church then had family over for dinner. Then I sat in my recliner and napped.

I took a quilt as you go workshop and am using a whole pile of orphan blocks that have been sitting in a bin just waiting for something like this. I also did a little shopping at my LQ"S 40% off sale buying some tone on tone black and red that I need for my Oriental quilt. I then bound and labeled a baby quilt for a new little guy and also made him some bibs. After church I had to drive DD back to college and help (actually do) DH pack for his convention in Ottawa this week. I think it was a busy week-end.

I was finally able to concentrate long enough to sew. I finished setting together a quilt for my 6 year old granddaughter (photos later!), and made a few crumb blocks. I've had difficulty concentrating,sleeping, and just plain living. My mother passed away just one week ago, and I've had a hard time shifting gears back to "normal life". She lived with us (age 88), and had a stroke that required me to sit with her 24-7 for her last week. It was a beautiful peaceful death, and I' know she's in a wonderful place. But gosh, I'm lost.
