Fall break is over much to quickly! We had a great but quick vacation to San Francisco with my mom--if I am get a minute I will pick some pictures and post them here. I miss blogging and reading my blogs but I just trained back at my old video relay job and since we cannot have our phones with us while we work (but we have access to the internet) I will again be reading and commenting on blogs! I miss them and rarely seem to fit them in with my crazy schedule but it works perfectly to read them while on hold at that job! I am a good multitasker even though they say people are not!
So on to the sewing. I sewed a ton with Kathy last night and most of today! YAY. She is just done with clue 5 of En Provence (always working til the last second that girl!) and I got a ton of stuff caught up and done!
I have had these hexagon trivets mostly ready to go for a long time...you may remember I made a bunch with Christmas fabric then decided I needed to make some regular ones...finally got all 17 done today while watching specials about Prince.
My online PACKER quilter friend Nancy sent me some leftover spool blocks she had after completing her spool quilt. I wanted to link to it on her
blog but I could not find a picture of it even though I have seen one! Anyways I have two blocks left so if any of you also want to donate your blocks because you had random leftovers or lost steam I will home them in a heartbeat! I love how all the different fabrics look in these fun leader/ender blocks of Bonnie's. I did not do this years even though I had big plans to do placemats...it just never happened.
My UFO Challenge for this month is my two sets of Bitty Blocks. I did not make a row of each and so I have two different size blocks and so there they sit. I studied them again today and decided to just put them away for now. Not happening!
I FINALLY got out this little kit Barb and I bought about a year ago at a quilt show. It is not done yet...I accidentally put the wrong size red outer border on (still another border to go) and so I ripped it out while soaking in the tub tonight (multitasker, told you. Epsom salts, help with the migraines). So if I get a few minutes to sew this week I will be resewing smaller borders and the cream border. LOVE this tiny little quilt!
Tomorrow I go back to work (teaching) and the kids come back on Wednesday. The time went so fast! I did get alot of planning for the quarter, some lesson planning, test writing, etc. done on break so feeling like I might not be AS overwhelmed as we go. However, I am now freelancing two nights a week til December and most likely at my new VRS job one night a week too. Add Pilates to that and I am one busy camper. Super excited to have insurance though...already used it to pick up meds and get new glasses!
