Not sewing, but using up stash

I've not turned the machine on this week, and I REALLY need to!

I have swap blocks that must get finished and cushions for the camp out next weekend that have to be done.

But, I also got some strip ripped for cleaning strips for the recorders at DD's school. I've used about 2 yards of muslin for that already. Need to do an equal amount of that, so by the time I'm done, I'll have used up 4 yards of muslin. Yeah!!!

Not much going on

I have not turned on the machine at all. Been on the go all week so far. Tomorrow is supposed to be my day.
I did get the love quilt loaded, so it is just to get it quilted.
I only have 1 swap block of 10 done. Need to finish those tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be able to participate in the swap.
Hope all is well with your families.

plugging away


Happy Easter!!!


I got sidetracked. LOL I am sick of the mess, so I sorted scraps. I need to make more scrap quilts, because I have too much of just about EVERY color. I still have more to go, but became overwhelmed by it all. :( I don't have any more room for those plastic drawers, so I have got to use these up. I found a 2 gallon baggie of red white and blue fabrics that were from many, many years ago. I sorted them and can now use what I have. But, that means I need to make another patriotic quilt. (I only have 3 of them in process right now).


I did get a couple swap blocks made. They need to be mailed by Wed, so I'd better get moving on them.


The backing fits wonderfully on the love quilt, so now to iron it and get that baby loaded! I will be fun to quilt, so I think that will be OK. I'd like to get that done this week too.


I still need to get this stuff going and be done with it. I hate being overloaded. Wish me luck.

The only finish was the ships baby quilt that I got the binidng on yeserday.

Busy weekend

I have been blessed with being able to get a few things done.


Yesterday I finished the baby quilt I need for next Saturday. This is also another UFO, so that is double duty.


I've been working on the love quilt, and got the top together today. Still need to get the backing pieced and the quilting done. So, I hope to lod it today.
