OK, enough with the show tunes -- I swore last week that I would accomplish something this weekend and the results are pretty great. 2 finishes that are ready to ship, a commission quilt that is only needing binding, the pair of commission quilts that are coming along.
- finishes -- Hogwarts swap
- and IG Mini Swap
- Thanksgiving quilt just needs binding attached
- Grandma's clothes (2 quilts) -- waiting to make the smaller circles or another pair of large ones depending on what the customer decides. These tops will either be two large circles each or a large and 2 small circles.
- I worked on getting backing together for Rush hour and a charity quilt that I forgot was in my pile -- I hope to at least baste these this week
- I'm still waiting on more blocks for the charity challenge quilt -- hopefully I get those today.
- Medallion quilt still sits waiting to be quilted --- after the thanksgiving quilt I didn't have the energy to wrestle another one under the needle and my machine was acting up, bending and breaking needles.
- I spent some time playing in my stash and transferring the yardage onto comic boards and refolding the smaller cuts so that I will be better able to see what all I do have and enjoy it.
- I also made cupcakes for a friends birthday -- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes with Cookie Dough Icing. Man these are awesome!! (and apparently I really love my dentist)
Some things that I did not work on this weekend
-- Christmas Quilt (early/mid December)
-- Disney Swap (early January) -- I did buy fabric for it though-- Baby Quilt Commission (Mid January)
-- Bitches stitches swap (March 2015)
-- Scrappy Trip along Blocks
-- Bible Studies blocks
I hope that this is a slower week and that I am able to spend a little time each night in the sewing room and will be able to keep up this momentum -- who knows you guys may get another blog posting out of me this week.
I'm curious about the pattern for the mini - so cute. I have never seen a needle bent like that - oh, my.
