October 5, 2016

I love to celebrate...today is a good day to do it too!  It's my Birthday as one of my birthday cards says.  Of course it is one of those singing cards that has a rap style song with cats in the choir.  Cheesecake and a cupcake were my goodies.  Thanks for all the Facebook wishes and along with cards and goodies that are still to come.

DH brought home dinner, in part because I claimed I wasn't cooking or picking up dinner on my way home.  We had Mexican carry out, which was fine for a middle of the work week meal.  We will be dining out in style on Friday with friends.  Best yet I get to select the place.

UFO coordinator Marti let us know that for October we are to work on #7.  That makes three UFOs that I need to catch up on before the end of the month to get caught up.  I'm close on #6 Kloggs.  Not started on #3 Kardus except pulling fabric.  Kardus still needs a background to be acquired.  Now I have #7 Knikknakk.  Wow do I have a lot of stitching to accomplish this month!  Speaking of sewing I best get my Pfaff going =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, October 3, 2016

So happy to see how Kloggs is looking...finally.  As you can see this is just a corner of this king sized project.  I haven't started assembly yet.  I hope to make progress on it tonight while watching Dancing With The Stars.

These units are what will fill in the other three corners.  All of these units are sewn and trimmed.  Ready for some wall space to make sure the colors work together throughout the quilt.

That inside sashing that I worked on today after work only needs the corners trimmed away...yes I did make bonus HSTs :)

These two are sewn now.  The two different units of the outside border.

Give me some hours all to Kloggs and this project will be put together in no time.  Not too much left of my Monday...  It is a short work week for me; just maybe Friday will be some uninterrupted sewing.  One can only hope =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, October 2, 2016

Kerry and I have been working on November/December 2016 Sunshine Quilt Guild's Bimonthly Opportunity Quilt.  We have combined some of our group swap projects to have enough of the right colors to make a Christmas Wall Hanging.  Not sure what the size will be yet.

These are three of the blocks that will be a total of 16.

Saturday we sewed most of the blocks and played around a bit with sashing, corner stones and outside border.  As you can see all the blocks were not sewn before we started playing around.  Things might change still!

I finished the binding on my Halloween gift to Luke and Logan.  It will be in the mail tomorrow.

Nothing to change my stats this week.  I am still working on Kloggs; see more tomorrow on my UFO project.  Enjoy our first week of October =^.^=
