Poodles and Quilts

As you see I am now adding hope to get done, not plan to get done! 1. I did manage to get more blocks of the Double Irish Star finished. Good thing too, the final blocks and finishing came out today! I finished 5 thru 10 and 11 and 12 are started! 2. the Kaffe blocks are still waiting to be made 3 I still need to get busy on a baby quilt 4. Still need to get the binding on a small quilt that has been waiting for a few weeks! Cooking: plans are the same chicken corn noodle soup cinnamon beef noodle soup Not sure I even want to mention dealing with the upstairs but as I said that is an ongoing project! There are no plans this week to take off for a day here and there. That happened last week. Ended up taking 2 days to go places. And I am certainly not going out to the black Friday sales except maybe the grocery store since they will be empty! Get it done at Patchworktimes

A friend of mine, Judy at Patchwork Times is posting her want to work on list for the week and asked us to join a long if we want! Like New Year's resolutions I have never been very good at lists but will try!   You can see Judy's post here Quilting- 1- I got a late start on the Double Irish Stars block of the week from Piecing the Past.     Week 4 came out this morning, I am working on week 2! Each week is 4 blocks and multiples in         each block.                                                       Blocks 1 - 4 2-Still need to get October's blocks made for the Kaffe mystery. 3-There is a baby quilt that needs to be started 4- A small quilt that needs binding 5-And a kit started that I cut out this past summer. I got 3 of the 4 made that I had cut, but stalled out on probably the simple...

As usual the all good intention to keep the blog up to date has gone by the way side. Guess that is good, means we have been busy! The week we had all the rain in central Texas, Galen and I were at South Padre Island. The weather there was not great but better than here at home. Had hoped he would get out fishing with his friend there but they decided to save it for another time. However he did go to the birding center just about every day and was able to get some new lifers plus updated pictures for this year. In the mornings then again in the evenings when we were in the hotel I managed to get 4 quilts bound. They were the 4 made from the string blocks I found in a container.  Once we got home I had more quilts to bind. Managed to get 2 more done for Quilts of Compassion. Those were 2 my friend Joan sent me to add backing, get my friend to quilt and then I would bind them. She sent more than these 2 but they will go in the next shipment along with quilts from another...
