It's almost spring! and this week's goals

I was in Tennessee last week with my sister and her two kids to visit our mom. It was nice weather for a couple of the days and cool the rest. We came home Saturday and the weather was beautiful all day, even at home! I will post more about this with pictures later.

I haven't done much of anything on my to do list since LAST WEEK. There are 3 quilt tops I would like to finish this week and that will be my goal. I am famous for getting the center of a quilt done and then get stopped at the borders....I hate sewing borders on!
  1. Jessica's log cabin still needs borders
  2. Bethany's quilt still needs borders (graduation gift) DONE
  3. Bears in the Farm house step 5
This is all do able since I have 4 good days left for the week and none of these will take me more than a couple hours to do. Next week...QUILTING!

Another day to myself

Well we are in the process of getting the snow. Doesn't look like much yet but from what I hear it is wet and heavy and the worst is yet to come. I was ready to go across the street to babysit but there is no school today and their dad decided to take the day off too, so I find myself with the day to myself. I was winding bobbins while waiting to go across the street so now I already have a cuppa in me and ready to go on this quilt. May as well get busy on it! Has to be done for tomorrow anyway and I have lots on my to do list. This is the list from the other day. I hope I make some progress today.

  1. Quilt Baptist Fan on a round robin quilt (customer) DONE
  2. Make blocks for Karen's hug quilt and mail
  3. Finish my Bears in the Farmhouse top and make the binding
  4. Finish log cabin top for my daughter
  5. Cut two battings for up coming quilts (this is a pain to do because of lack of space here)
  6. Cut 5" squares for a my Tuesday swap meeting
  7. Possibly start quilting Jessica's quilt

Sunday Again

Well, I didn't accomplish as much as I'd hoped this weekend but then I never do. I always seem to underestimate how long things take or how much I can accomplish in a day. I still make lists and goals however or I would just flounder and wander aimlessly and get nothing done. So I made progress. We are expecting a lot of snow tonight. Between 8-10". Mark seems to think it may not be all that much....we will see.
