Design Wall-September 15, 2014

Surprisingly enough I did get some sewing in last week! Remember this picture from last week?
                                     Once I got it figured out it was a fun one to put together. So in between cleaning up the dust from Saturday's tearing up of the family room floor, and nap time I got the 12 rows together.
Tiki is photo bombing the picture.


The pattern is Puzzle Pieces from the new book Pick Up A 6-Pack from Timeless Treasurers.

This is the week we get the new floor in our family room. They hope to have the last coat of sealer done on 
Friday. If so we can get moved back in over next weekend. Then we get a breather until 2015 when we get the rest of the downstairs done. We are already talking to them about that job.

Design Wall Monday-September 8, 2014

Very little was accomplished last week, it was one of those weeks! So my wall has the same thing on it-some of the Noah's ark blocks.  

And since we ended up not starting the family room floor on Saturday as planned I had use of my kitchen counter. I of course cut out another quilt from these batiks!


The pattern is Puzzle Pieces from the new book Pick Up A 6-Pack from Timeless Treasurers. The pattern is by my friend Osie.

I spent part of yesterday trying to get all the threads off my design wall. Had some success, but I do believe after 10-12 years I can put  a new covering on it!  

Back to Patchworktimes for some eye candy!

Stash Report-week 36, 2014

Not much sewing this week. Did get the binding for another quilt cut and ready to put on so I will count that half yard as being used! I also picked up my fabric and pattern for the September BOM - 3 FQS.  I ended up adding a little more than I used but not much more!! All is all not too bad.

We thought the guys were going to start on the family room floor on Saturday, but the guy who is really good laying travertine in a pattern is about 3 days away from finishing up a job. Since he is the one who laid our kitchen floor we are going to wait. Paul, our contractor also wants us to wait for this guy. We agreed. The pattern is 6 different pieces, only 2 are the same size. So now we are on the calendar for next Saturday. Maybe I will get a little more sewing in this week.


This week:                         .5 0
Used to date   :                  85.75
Donated to date:                 50

Design Wall Monday-Sept. 1, 2014

My wall is the same as last week.
 Wish I could say other wise! Had plans on working on some other blocks today but Dad had different ideas. Ended up spending close to 4 hours in ER.  All is okay for now, on antibiotics for a bladder infection.  He, of course, was the hit of the ER.  Didn't feel much like doing anything when we got home and besides had dinner to finish up for the 3 of us.  Good thing I had started the chicken pot pie last night. Broth was cooked and I did bone the chicken this morning before he called.
The Monarch Butterflies are starting their migration south. Took this from the family room window on Saturday.

Next Friday is our 44th wedding anniversary and we will be spending it tearing up the family room. We are having new flooring put in-that starts on Saturday the 6th.  We will be moving furniture on the 5th! Guess we couldn't stand not having dust etc that comes with remodel.  But once the floor is done, no more until next year!
