Make-A-List Monday - The Big Double Nickel!

Hi, all!

Well, it's Monday and I'm back in Tennessee after a whirlwind trip to East Texas for a family wedding.  I'm so glad to be back - Texas ain't got nothin' on Tennessee in the fall!  I couldn't figure out what looked so strange in Texas until I realized that the leaves hadn't turned color there....  The wedding was fun, but there truly is no place like home!

Another reason I'm glad to be here - today's my "double-nickel" birthday!!  It's been a quiet day - we'll go out to dinner tomorrow night with the kids to celebrate - but a good birthday nonetheless!

Enough about that, though - let's see how I did on last week's list...

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

Done!

2.  Put labels on some anonymously donated quilts.

Done!  All three have new homes already!

3.  Bind my friend Christy's quilt.

Done!  It came out amazingly well, especially considering 
it's her very first quilt!!  

4.   Quilt and bind a commission quilt.

Done!  This one's ready to go in the mail!! I'll show more pics of this one at a later date, after the wind dies down so I can take some!

5.  Finish cleaning up the boxes from the great junkroom clean-up.

Almost done - just a couple more to go...

6.  Quilt a second woman's quilt for the ministry.

Done!

So all in all, I did better than I thought I'd be able to do! And now for this week's list...

1.  Make a back for Lilli's Christmas (gift) quilt.

2.  Quilt that quilt while I have time without her here!

3.  Finish cleaning up the junkroom boxes.

4.  Get all the learning and craft stuff together for Lilli.

5.  Sew up a back for Emmy's Christmas (gift) quilt.

6.  Make some more dump-and-sew blocks if time permits.

So far this week, we haven't had any quilts requested through the quilt ministry, so I'm making the most of my time and working on Christmas presents!  It's coming up so fast, isn't it?

And Lilli will start staying with me again next Monday - we're going to have so much fun!  Learning and cooking and of course, sewing!!  I'll probably be sharing a lot of our adventures in crafting in the near future....

And speaking of sharing and blogging, I'm coming up on my 500th blog post - and you know what that means!  A giveaway!!  So be on the lookout - it should be in the next week or two!

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

Hugs!
