Nadda

that's what I've done this week as far as quilting goes. I am not a happy camper. I seem to be running to the doctors and doing family things instead of quilting. I am in withdrawal. I do have a get together this weekend with my small quilt group. I just need to figure out what I'm taking and get something done.
Hope everyone else is doing better than me.

Sunday evening post

Well, to continue with the Judy L request, I wanted to update on what I've accomplished this week. One great thing, I've not bought any fabric. Yeah!!!! But, on the sewing arena, I've not accomplished much.

The QWL project is coming along. I have 3 quilts ready to mail off. Two of the quilts were bound this week. Wanda brought back one, and I finished the other binding today. I'm not supposed to do the bindings, because it takes too long, but I needed one to work on and decided to do it anyway. LOL Wanda had hers before I found out I needed to not worry about the bindings.

I have another one of them being loaded -- about half there. I got sidetracked because I lost my wallet. We could not find it anywhere, so I lost most of one day looking for the silly wallet. Where was it? Under a chair beside the refrigerator in the garage.

I have to share the ice skating photo of DD. Isn't she beautiful. She is not one that wants to do the ice skating again, because it was not lots of fun. But, she tried it and now knows it is not for her. LOL

I have all the postcards ready for the Christmas postcard swap, so that is helpful.

I almost forgot, but I got all the FQs ready for mailing on 2 birthday swaps. They were 100% from my stash. Not bad. I'm thankful that some folks added something other than civil war fabric. LOL

Because of the looking for the wallet, I cleaned up the sewing area. Didn't know how it would have got up here, but had to see. LOL That is a good thing.

Praying that things will settle and I can work on some projects this week. I need to have some things ready to take to my quilting event on Sat, so that is a goal of mine.

Fabric postcards

Well, not much sewing done this week, but I did finish up the 2 postcards I needed for a swap. Now to just get them addressed and in the mail.

I had to share a photo of the toe sock and DD. She seems to really like these.

Received back a QWL that was out for binding. I am working on one to bind while at the doctors. I have another eady to load and quilt this weekend.

Nothing done

I hate it when I don't get to sew much or any. I can't say I didn't do anything, because I quilted a QWL and that is now off the list. I'm going to go ahead and put the binding on this one because I have a doctor's appointment today for my high blood pressure possibilities. 132/88 is not good, and it goes up to 140/90 on days, so.....time to get something done about it. If I lost my weight, I might not need it any more.

Hope to have some pictures of things in the next blog.

Questions

OK, I've been looking at Embird, and don't know what to pick. The Embird suite has so many different items, and I'm not sure what I should or should not get. I am thinking about asking for this for Christmas. Any help would be appreciated.

My day was spent getting Christmas decorations up and boxes back to the shed, then Horse Back riding for DD.

My sewing today was limited to hemming a pair of pants for my Mom and loading a QWL on the long arm. Maybe I'll get to quilt it tomorrow afternoon.

Sunday report on Monday Morning

Well, I just found out that Judy L from Sunshine Quilts is asking us to talk about what we did to bust our stash and not buy.

So, I can say that I'm proud that I've not bought any fabric this week. Of course, I'm on no buy, and the buying is very limited anyway. LOL I feel good about not adding anything to my stash and using up those wonderful pieces.

I have been working on making secret santa gifts. I've used stash to make a horse purse, a flowered tote, fabric postcards, placemats and coasters and ornaments this past week.

I have plans to use stash to make the backings on 2 quilts and borders on another quilt for this coming week. I also need to get those teacher gifts done soon. I keep changing my mind on what I'm going to make this year. I think I'm settling on corn therapy bags. I can use the muslin for the inner bags and the pretty flannel fabric for the outer bags. DD can help with these, because it is not necessary to be 100% accurate.

Horse Purse

I found this fabric and just had to make a purse. I'm sure now that DD is into horseback riding, and there are others I know that are horse lovers, I think I'll be able to gift it to someone. The front and back are the same panels. I quilted the harness and the stall. The instide is running horses. Now that fabric is gone. I have one more of the horse panels. I'll be able to make the purse with only one front. Then, I can put a pocket on the backside of the next one.

My sewing room has a clean floor. I actually vacuumed tonight. Yea!! I didn't quilt the QWL tonight. I was not up to it, but should be able to get to it tomorrow.
