(I think I need to look at my formulas on my spreadsheet for this. Seems to not be right. Might be adjusted next week)

I finished another UFO and gave it as a baby gift to one of the teachers.

I made a birthday block, now to get it mailed.

Other than that, I've been working on a couple of other quilts, so I've not been sitting around doing nothing, but not many accomplishments.

Just what I needed

Well this has been a week from hell. Sorry, but no other description.

Last Wed DD broke her finger and has a brace on. Today they took it off and put another one on. We go back in 3 weeks.

DH went TDY (on a business trip for those non-military folks) to Cincinnati, Oxford and Dayton OHIO. He got there around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. By 6 or 7 he had totaled his rental car because of ice. He didn't go to the ER and was not doing great. He is at the ER today. Hoping it is nothing too serious and he can come home soon.

DS is stressing over college. He is having issues with classes, and he wants to do so well that it is concerning him.

Today, I checked the mail and what did I have? Something that brightened my day.

Jackie sent me this place mat purse. Isn't it beautiful?

My crazy friend, Marianne, the one that makes me laugh so often, the one who understands the men in our lives and helps me to figure it all out, sent me these. I didn't know she was so evil. I'm trying to bust my stash. I'm trying to use up my 2.5" squares and what arrives??? More 2.5 inch squares. Hummmm, what is the pay back going to be????

Bad end of week

Well, I was sewing away and then life hit me on Wed. DD broke her finger and we had issues with the way the school handled it. Had meetings at the school. DD couldn't do the things she enjoys (Karate and Horseback riding), so it was more Mom and DD time. :) We also had our Girl Scout Thinking Day activity and ended up there all morning and at a cookie booth in the evening. I slept in between because I'm still trying to recover from this cold.

Saturday was a record day at the mailbox. I received a beautiful potholder for a Pay It Forward even. I tried it on my blog, but no one was playing. :(

I received my winnings from Stashbusters for the WIPs and WHIMMs that I worked on in 2007. I won the pot twice, and they came. Now to figure out what to do with these strips.

I also did the Valentines wall hanging from Freda's Hive she sent me two patterns and a pin to work on. Wow, that is a wonderful gift. Thank you!

I'm hoping I can play with these things some today.

another birthday block

Well, I am not feeling all that great, but I did work on the birthday block I need to send out this month. Isn't it very lava like?

I made a couple more 9 patches and need to start on another baby quilt. I have some of the blocks made, but need to make more and another alternate block.

Mysteries & others

Well, I finished one mystery today that Cindy did last year.

I've cut out the fabric for the next mystery that Cindy is doing for us.

I finally finished the Greek flag for the Girl Scout Thinking Day. There was a problem with getting flags, so I thought I'd just make this one. Well, don't get sliky fabric to sew with when you are used to cotton. LOL But, it is done, except for the dowel.

My embroidery machine is acting up again. The self threader won't thread. It is SO frustrating. So, the horse quilt is temp on hold. I might get the little machine out and see if I can download the files.

QOV #59 Done

I worked on the clamshell quilting for another QOV. I finally got it done. My hands are not strong, so I could only do a few passes before I had to take a break.

I was working on the horse quilts. What was one UFO has now turned into 2 quilts. DD has decided she needs one too. So, I need to get these both done soon. Shontelle's birthday is on 6 March, so it needs to be done by then. I hope both of them are finished at that time, but we shall see. Decided since most of the horses are brown, and pink is the girl's favorite color that pink and brown would work. I didn't have enough of the same brown to do it all the same, so it will be a scrappy quilt.

Sunday Update

Still keeping with the Sunday updates for Judy's site.

It has been a better week, but not nearly what I want. I've made a placemat purse (no fabric used on that one), some coasters and a coffee cozy.

I've been working on my ocean waves blocks and have 10 done now. I know, not as many as Kim, but I'm working on it finally.

I did make a Valentine wall hanging/table runner and it came 100% from stash. So, that is a good thing.

I made another placemat purse for a swap. No fabric on that one either.

I put some prayer squares together. These will be tied by my Mom and then will be given to the church.

I made a couple of fabric postcards one get well card and a birthday card.

I made a birthday block and have another one started.

It's been a better week and am hoping next week will be even better.
