Design Wall Monday

This is what is on my makeshift design wall. These are some of the blocks from my Quiltathon project. I need a total of 30 blocks and somewhere along the way I miscounted and now I need to make 3 more blocks. Check out Judy L's blog to see what everyone else is working on!!!

Quiltathon Sunday

The results are in and I did not get as much done as I thought I would. I did not get started until after noon. I did get a load of laundry done. Yeah!! My dryer door does not stay shut so I had to hang this load in my basement. Then I looked for and found my disk for EQ5. I was able to install it and now I'm going to be dangerous. I could not install EQ6 some error message about resolution. I will get somebody in my family look at this in the future.

Then on to the sewing machine. I saw a quilt on someone's blog early this morning. At 2AM. I wish I could remember whose blog it was but if these blocks look familar thank you. I had decided to make a Kid's Komfort quilt which is a charity quilt that our guild makes. I needed to make 30 8" blocks using 2.5" squares and strips. Some serious stash busting I could see in my future. Since Christmas, I have misplaced my bag of 2.5" squares, so I cut the required number for this quilt and started sewing squares and strips together. I need to sew one more strip on the 27 blocks I made in order to have an 8" block and then I need to go back and make 3 more blocks for where I miscounted. So there will not be a picture tonight as I have to get to bed in order to get to work in morning and Mondays are the busiest day of the week in the mail order pharmacy.

So go check what the other quilters are doing on Judy L's blog. I hope there are lots of pictures for inspiration.

Quiltathon

I had such high intentions with the Quiltathon but I seem to have fallen flat on my face. I spent Friday night and most of Saturday babysitting for niece and nephew. We had a blast but I got very little sewing done. Here we they are making homemade pizza for dinner. Of course, we had to go to plan B the Golden Arches, as I burned the pizza. In my defense, I was cooking in my sister's oven and I was not used to it. I also burned a pan of sugar cookies on Saturday. I brought some hand piecing along to work on if the kids entertained themeselves. They did finally went in the bedroom to play and I was able to get this much done. I will be getting up early on Sunday and hope to get much more done. Check out Judy L's blog to see what others are getting done.
