Super Saturday

Boy have I got plans for myself today. My back is hurting something fierce already but I am still going to try to make some progress...OK...plans are for:
  • Sew another thread on the binding for my Vienna Nights quilt..if not two

  • Make a bag out of the Vegetable Dye fabric from Andover - learn something from the pattern

  • Finish a needlecase for JoAnn

  • Wash all that fabric I bought yesterday...Jo's new line
Let's see how I do...♥♥♥...Genie taught me the heart trick! What fun! Thanks Genie!
Progress Report @8PMish...

  • Not one thread, or two...but THREE! I have one whole side done on the scalloped binding. Phew!

  • Needle case done - SEE! I finished the red one tonight...

Needlecases and Pin Cushion

  • Bag is done too....I don't like the pattern. The bag is too squishy...don't like the fabric either...but, I learned technique from the experience at least...

Bag made from Vegetable Dye fabrics

Now that I have these done, I can work on my stars tomorrow. Wait till you see THAT quilt!

Freedom!

Not that I don't LOVE my job, because I really do...but I have tomorrow off and I am excited. I am still very tired from last weekend and could use the extra time for sleeping in and resting. I have big plans! Besides sleeping until 100 o'clock, I am going to the quilt shop and to lunch with JoAnn. Then, I am going to find a movie and sit in Mom's chair in the basement, watch the movie and sew on my binding. Just wait till you see the quilt I am finishing!

Katie, you are going to have to show me how to upload pictures, etc...

Yeah Friday off!

Wasted Weekend

I don't see how "young people" can do it. I worked one overnight shift this weekend and the whole weekend was wasted. I didn't get anything done that I needed to do...and I am as tired as if I had cleaned my house from basement to attic...which we all know, it needs it, but I am VERY unlikely to do that.

I am at least going to finish a pincushion...maybe also a quilt block...then find something good on TV and work on a binding. Sigh...how do young people manage this without getting totally wiped out?

Blah, blah

Here I am, wasting more time on the computer when I could be sewing! OK...enough posting, I am going to quilt...
