Stashbuster Stay At Home Retreat

i need some happiness in my day, so i think I'll be retreating this weekend.
My loose goals are:

1.    Sew center of baby quilt together


2.    Make 3 postcards
3.    Continue Irish Stars quilt along
4.    Simply Woven progress

A Day late

I was busy yesterday, but on lots of other things than quilting.

finished DD's name banner
Now to make one for her roommate 
Started string piecing the baby clothing quilt together.
I need to get this off the design wall so I can add more to it.
still working on the Irish Star quilt Along.

Today is Mom's Memorial
I will probably do something in the studio this morning because the memorial is at 4.
I have been cutting more baby clothing this morning.
I have a pile ready to cut and I have a bag ready to be stabilized.

memorial

This is the obituary in a book mark form.
Here are the 40 Kleenex covers that I made.
Mom's favorite color was pink with some green.
I just used a couple scraps of fabric and made however many it made.

The memorial is tomorrow.

Banner

TQPM March issue had a Happy Birthday Banner
DD decided she would like one for her dorm room with her name on it.
Things I learned
I don't stitch in the ditch well, which is why I don't do machine bindings.
I should use an invisible thread to do those things.

But, it is done and she likes it.

midweek makers

Since I need to work on this, it went onto the new design wall.

Purple & Brown UFO

This started out as a baby quilt.
I didn't like the accuracy of it, so it became a pillow to have another UFO done.
