Table runners

I still need to trim the quilt, but the two table runners are done, washed and ready to use.

microwave bowls

I found these on this site and thought they looked like good things for microwaving and eating hot bowls or cold ones for that matter.  Aren't they pretty?

Some progress

I'm thinking my problem is my bobbin winder.  Hummm, I wonder how to fix that?  I'm going with DH to the maintenance class and will take it with us.  Then, I'll find out if that is truly the problem or something else.

I quilted the black and white and red all over and one of the table runners.  I still need to piece the batting for the larger of the table runners.

Driving to DD's Math tutor I saw these Texas bluebonnets in a front yard.  Spring must be here to have the bluebonnets out so nicely already.

bowl potholders

Lori has a link on her blog for these fun bowl potholders.  I think these would be wonderful to use.  I'm going to make us some and maybe for gifts to teachers.  These would use some scraps.  I wonder how they would look scrappy?  Might have to try a red and black one to go in my kitchen in the scrappy format. 

not much progress

Well, the quilt is loaded, and then I ran out of energy. 
Went to make dinner and dropped a bowl that shattered.  I hate that, because I'm never sure I get all the pieces.  No going barefoot for a few days.
Then, after dinner DH wanted to watch some of Earth2.
Now I'm ready to go to bed, so I'll work on this during the week and hope to have it done soon.
I did cut some piano keys for the flower quilt,  UFO #1b.
I did cut on the baby clothing quilt too.  That needs more work, but my hands hurt after a few cuts.  So, I'm working to do maybe an outfit at a time.  Maybe that will work some for me.
This is my week for the applique class, so I'm excited about that one.

Accountability list for next week

Plans for the next week.


1. Load and quilt black & white and red all over.

2. Embroider ribbon for shower gift

3. Maybe make an apron -- need to find the pattern first.  I don't know if this is what I really want to do or something like a wall hanging.  So, maybe it is make a decision and accomplish it before Saturday.  LOL

4. Finish top of UFO #1 times 2 -- I have the center done, and need the borders on it.

Judy has us do a stash report weekly. I used to be good at this and now, I'm sporadic. :( So, here is mine for the week.

Used this Week: 0.13 yards
Used year to Date: 45.93 yards
Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 24 yards
Net Used for 2013: 21.94 yards

OK, so it was a very light week.  I was doing things with DD's band this week.  Next week should be a little better.  I have the black & white and red all over quilt ready to load.  Need to lay everything out again to double/triple check, and then I can load it.

I was going to do that yesterday, but 4 hours standing on concrete and then needing to find an Easter dress for DD, I was out of it.  LOL
