I looked at my sewing room longingly.
Between 8 hours a day of lecture and lab and hours of studying at night and
on the weekends I haven't done much of anything quilty in weeks. (
Five weeks down, five to go.

I went to the Concord (MA) Piecemakers quilters yard sale. For $6, I
came home with a grocery bag full of exciting scraps, squares and even a
full yard piece. Now, all I need to do is start sewing.

I started cutting out pieces for my first wedding ring something or
another... lol

Saturday: went to a flea market and bought a very nice old flannel sheet
that will make a great batt. Did some quilting (machine) on a double
9-patch. Received 6 blocks for the Friendship Quilt!
Sunday (today): went to another flea market and found 3 meters of Swiss
shirting-weight cotton, blissful hand, in eye-popping woven checks. (Got
batting, got backing...) Did some more quilting on the double 9-patch.
Embroidered the face of the BOM kitty.

Friday I bought fabric to be ready to jump right in on joining my guild
BOM's from last year (need the top assembled by our November meeting).
That will be a simple sashing -- 3 narrow rows of fabric (dark purple on
the outside - white in the middle) with 9 patches in the cornerstones.
You can see the EQ version in my webshots folder. All 24 blocks are
finished. It is just the sashing I need to complete.

So hopefully by this time next week... the notorious DWR will be on its
way to the long arm quilter in Minnesota... and the Purple/White BOM will
be ready to go when I get the DWR back!

I am working on an embroidered letter character quilt for my
grand-niece. I am also still in the middle of bear-claw quilt for
myself, which always gets pushed off for another project. My husband
has asked me to try to take in his pants because HE LOST 55 lbs on MY
DIET!

Does dreaming count?
While reorganizing boxes in the garage I came across a couple labelled
"Cotton Scraps For Quilting"
These boxes contain bit of fabrics and old clothes that at one time I
thought should go into a quilt. We are talking 25-30 year old scraps!
I still don't have time to go thru them, so back into the storage pile they
went. Seeing the boxes did start the dreaming process tho.
I also spent my last minutes before falling into exhausted sleep flipping
through a quilting mag and reminding myself to check for the new ones when I
go to town today.
My daughter has just moved back in, and she sews! Between us we have redone
my sewing to make room for her stuff! Huge feat! But it is done now. We just
have to finish moving all her other stuff that we have no room for in the
house. Hence the garage reorganization.
We have to have her stuff moved and the house she was in, cleaned out by the
end of the month. By that time the outside work will be done cause we should
be covered in snow by then. I'm hoping that means quilting time for me!
DD doesn't quilt much, she is into fashion, but she has a great eye for
color!

Hope some of you are getting some actual quilting time in.

Sadly, not a darn thing. I have an algebra midterm on Monday and I did
homework, studied, did some more algebra, figured out that radicals won't
kill me, decided that my grades would be better if I could actually add and
subtracts regular numbers ;-) and still have some practice-for-the-test
homework to finish.

Chaos, panic and disorder ... my work here is done.

Not a thing. I hope to do something on my days off this week other than
clean and pack.
