Poodles and Quilts

Not much sewn this past week. I did manage to remake my Trifecta Block #2. Never noticed that I had switched the bottom row on each of the 2 blocks on the left!                                                           These do look a lot better!                                                     I also managed to get the fabric cut for Trifecta #3 but not sewn. Hoping to get these sewn together this week and maybe finish binding at least one quilt. I usually work on hand sewing in the evenings but lately have been going to bed earlier than usual. Probably catching up from the stress of the past month.  That's okay, the quilts are by my chair in the family room for when ever!!!!!     ...

A very quiet week here-nothing in and nothing out. Did work on a few things but nothing finished! Used This week:                  0 Used to date   :                  87.5 Donated to date:                 50 Used and donated to date: 137.50 Added this week:                0 Added to date:                     46 Net:                                    91.50 Maybe next week I'l have some different numbers! Back to Judy!

Not on the wall but something I can show!  I managed to get the top of the month finished on time,I have a mistake in #2 BOM (bottom left block) of Trifecta so I will be doing a little frogging and then putting it back together again                                                                HIDE AND SEEK                                                    BLOCKS FOR #2 TRIFECTA                                                              BLOCKS #1 & #2 It felt good to be able to get some sewing in this past week. I have 2 quilt...

I have not posted in a while. My Dad went in the hospital for an over night and went home 18 days later. So you know where we have been. At his age, 97 this past Friday (17th) we weren't sure what was going to happen. But he is now back in his apartment, still living by himself and having a little home health care. And he plans to make it to 100!   I did manage to get my Top of the Month done that was due this past Thursday and also some blocks. But added fabric for the next Top of the Month and this month's BOM pattern. My numbers went in the wrong direction!  Am hoping though with things looking up for Dad I can get some more sewing time in and at least break 100 for the year! This week:                         1.75 Used to date   :                  87.5 Donated to date:                 50 Used and donated to date: 137....

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. Back to Judy at Patchworktimes

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!

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: ...
