Make-A-List Monday - Oh, I've been busy!!

Hi, all!

Oh, I've missed you all so much, my bloggy friends!!! I've been nose-to-the-grindstone for the past week, trying to get a ton of quilting done before my surgery next week.  By the time I sit down in the evenings, if there's been any time at all to blog, I've fallen asleep before I get a chance!!  But I'll have plenty of time to catch up on everyone's blogs next week, I'm sure.  

So let's take a look at last week's list and see how it went..


1.  Quilt the rest of the summer camp quilts.
Done!  Take a look at this pretty stack of ten quilts...


These have all been dropped off at church for others to bind...

2.  Bind a quilt (the batik pictured above) for the ministry.
Done and delivered!


3.  Quilt and bind two more quilts for ministry needs.
Done!  Here's one of them...


Then there's this one, which I quilted and Pam did the binding on...


And a third is finished, but I didn't remember to take a picture until after the sun had set!  Oops!

4.  Do something on that upholstery project!
I really need the Cone of Shame.....  still no progress on this!  But in my defense, I did piece a quilt top for a sweet little girl who had to have major surgery this week - it's on the frame for quilting tonight.

And now, for this week....

1.  Quilt the child's quilt on the frame for the quilt ministry.

2.  Quilt a man's quilt for the quilt ministry.

3.  Quilt a woman's quilt for the quilt ministry.

4.  Quilt as many more quilts this week as possible 
to get ahead for September!

How's that for an open-ended list with no end in sight?  It will be interesting to see just how many I can get done this week! I guess it depends a lot on how much rain we get from Hurricane Isaac - whether it tracks more towards Arkansas or Tennessee.  Only time will tell!

And speaking of Hurricane Isaac, keep the folks in the New Orleans area in your prayers - this could be a devastating storm for them, as I was reminded by Jamie of L'Fair Quilts.  Recovery from Hurricane Katrina is still ongoing.....

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

And on a personal note, I've got a huge whoop whoop a few days early!  I know I don't usually talk about this on my blog but I just want to shout this from the rooftops - I had a CT scan yesterday and it came back completely clear!!  Woohoo!!!  (Thanks for letting me let that out!!)

So now the question is - - - what are you working on this week?

Hugs!

Sarah

  2. You always get so much accomplished! I had surgery a few weeks ago and was banned from sewing (my surgeon told me I could in a few weeks) - I was planning on getting so much done while I was off...now I suppose I should just go back to work. (I did make a doll quilt today...shhh!)

  4. Definitely worth a 'hollar from the hills'!! Don't over do or stress before your surgery - and then dear lady, expect to be treated like a queen. Wish I was closer to help out.

    I heard Hurricane Isaac pushed gulf waters went over the levies in parts of New Orleans again. Parish area flooded. So sad.

  17. Great projects, and clear CT scans are alwasy good. Funny you mention Katrina, and Isaac, as I just posted about that. My famil lived through Katrina, but moved (thanks goodness) a few years later. So sad about H. Isaac...
