Simply Woven allowed some fabric usage.

I have two more UFOs that I'm working on, so maybe i'll use up more this week.

I'm thinking that I should count bobbins used instead of spools. :)

When you have a new spool of thread, it takes a long time to use up.

Happiness is Quilting

Block 7 of Happiness to Quilting is up.

This is my version of the block.

I love the black, white and red.

Get It Done

Judy at Patchwork Times has a Get It Done list.

I've not done all that great this year on my UFO listings.

Not that I've not accomplished UFO finishes, but not like I had wanted to.

So, maybe it is going to come around and I'll get some of these off my list.

The project for me is the Spring Jelly Roll that has the special reach kid art in it.

I'll end up framing the art with the jelly roll and then figuring out how to put it all together.

All People quilt

The UFO number for September for All People Quilt is

#7 -- Heating pads

Looks like I just need to make an insert for this cover.

Not a very pretty cover, but it will work.

I should be able to finish this one up this month.

One Monthly Goal

I don't have anything that really HAS to be done this month, so I'm going to pick something that has been on my list for a while.

This western sunset has been sewn together, but isn't large enough.

So, I need to figure out how to make it larger using the fabric I have left.

I was going to use it as a bird cage cover, but we decided not to do that.

I think it is going to be a throw quilt in the family room.

I'm linking up to Elm Street's One Monthly Goal.
