Tuesday

It is Tuesday! Isn't that awesome? I picked up 3.5 hours of overtime last night and hoping for that much tonight. It is extremely hot and humid here so yard work is a no go. I have done a bit of sewing and things are getting finished. My wall hanging is almost bound. The patriotic blocks are pressed and will be sewn together today between calls at work. I am working from home next to my sewing machine.

In stitches,

Hand piecing

 



I am hand piecing a quilt at work. It is white and bright prints. It all from my stash!! It will be 70x81. An odd size but it will make a cool picnic/summer concert quilt. And it will summer concert season soon enough. I have 7 rows out of 27 rows sewn together and it looks awesome. I would show you a picture of it but it out in the car ready to go to work with me again today. 

Tonight is finish the first four bags out of the 6 that I want done for Saturday. I need to get to JoAnn Fabrics for a piece of flannel to make a receiving blanket for the baby doll that is part of the birthday present for Maddie. Her purse/bag is almost done and it is adorable. It needs handles. I will post the pictures either tonight or tomorrow depending on time.

It's Tuesday

It's Tuesday and the downward swing of February. I have yet to start any of my February challenges. I just need to make at least one table runner, something violet, and something red. I have a few ideas rolling around in my mind but nothing concrete as of yet.

 
Red is not my favorite color to work with, I have used it as a back on a quilt.




Violet is my mom's favorite color family and I do have a jelly roll earmarked for a split decision quilt. That is an option.

    
I have the directions and enough different striped pieces of fabric to make at least 10 table runners. I think if I got one done that would be wonderful.

I have such grandiose plans in the morning. I can get a lot done in the morning before I go to work. But after putting 9 hours on the phones in a call center, I am wore out when I get home. And we are still working 6 days a week and that makes my weekends rather short. Maybe tomorrow I will sew in the morning but it is doubtful!!!
