Small quilt group

Can you believe that I didn't take my camera today?  I would not be able to show you what I was working on, but the other 2 had a couple great projects.

Lane working on a Christmas type of wall hanging.  It was abstract trees in black, white and red.  It is turning out fun.

Judy was working on jelly roll quilt with the Little Black Dress Fabric and it is turning out so nice.

So, now that I'm home, I've done the kitchen cleaning, have a load of wash on and hope to get something else worked on.

I really need to do some hemming on these band uniforms.

The chicken in the tree

Those that didn't believe me, there really is a chicken in my back yard.  He is in our "peach" tree that is really a willow tree.  DH scared him up the tree.

Girl Scout Gold project

this young lady is so impressive.  She is working on her Gold Project and has this website.  I thought I'd share it with you.  She finds some wonderful quotes.

Weekend is here

The weekend plans last weekend did not happen, so let's see what I can get done this weekend.

1.  Borders on Star quilt
2.  Start on the testing of another quilt that I can't show
3.  Hem one pair of pants from Jr High band
4.  Hem uniforms from High School band
5.  Go through at least one more box of parent's stuff
6.  Of course, housework in-between all my fun stuff

It's cold outside

so, it has been another one of those weeks.  Sick child, doctor appointments for her, doctor appointments for me, and lots of band activities.  I told myself that I would keep a project going that I could take with me.  I had this UFO that is on my Samper Society UFO list that needs something done.  This was the round robin that they dropped out and send back with just the muslin and no applique done.  So, I decided to try and put some vines on it with leaves.  I might end up adding some berries, but that will wait until the leaves on it.
 
I had the vines done, I thought.  But somehow I missed an entire side.  LOL  So, as I was putting on the leaves I realized I had an entire side needing vines on it.  So, I'm working on that before I start on more leaves.  My daughter told me to put some brown leaves on it, but I'm not sure I like that idea.  time will tell.

Weekend plans

DD is sick.  She has been sleeping so much that we took her to the doctor last night. :(  She has a bad virus and sleep, drink and pain relief is all we can do for her.  No strep, so that is good.  That means we won't be doing much this weekend.  Cookie booth on Sunday.  So, I have a few things I need to accomplish.

1.  Borders on Star quilt
2.  Work on applique for the 2nd Sampler Society UFO challenge (it won't get done, but I need to make progress on it)
3.  Hem one pair of pants from Jr High band
4.  Hem uniforms from High band
5.  Go through at least one more box of parent's stuff
6.  Of course, housework in-between all my fun stuff

That should keep me busy.
