Hi, all!
Amazingly, I haven't missed Monday - although Sunday kind of slipped right by me! If you caught yesterday's blogpost, you may have tried to click on the link to Moira's blogpost and found that it didn't work. Well, it's working now - so please click here and check out her post. It's the last guest blogger post for this year's Hands2Help Challenge, and I'd hate for you to miss it - she's having a giveaway, too!
And just for kicks, I'm going to add to the giveaway fun - I've got a couple of panels to share, so just leave a comment below if you're interested! (Sorry for the quality of these pictures - I didn't have time to press the panels before taking them!)
But of course, the real purpose for Monday's post is to confess how I did on last week's list....
1. Quilt the donation quilt.
2. Quilt some baby tops to add into the box for Little Lambs.
Done! After quilting the donation quilt, I loaded four yards of background fabric on the frame, and did a little "chain quilting"...
I think my inspector approves, don't you?
And here's the completed stack, all ready to mail off! I had hoped to get them out before I left on vacation, but alas, I ran out of time...
3. Package and mail prizes from last week.
Again, this was a victim of a short week - they will have to be sent out next week, after we return from vacation.
4. Pick out some giveaway items for this Sunday.
You've seen them above - I'm just a little late posting them, for various reasons!
5. Finish vacation kits.
Done! I have 10" squares to make five full-size quilt tops for the quilt ministry, and another batch of 10" squares to make an X & + quilt, if time allows.
So what's on my plate for this week? Well, not a whole lot (I AM on vacation, after all) but here's what might get done...
1. Work on the five full-size tops.
2. Work on the X&+ quilt top if time allows.
3. Once home, package up and mail the giveaway items and the quilts for Little Lambs of Utah.
4. Eat lots of good food, get lots of sun, read lots of good books!
We've already gotten a good start on that last one - the weather has been beautiful....
...the food delicious....
...and the wildlife has been friendly! Meet Fred, the local colorful character who hangs out at the Shrimp Shack. He walks around the patio like he owns the place!
And now, I really want to know - - - what are YOU working on this week?
Hugs!
Sarah
So glad you are having a wonderful time! I hope everyone is as friendly as Fred!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having a fabulous time and wonderful weather. Enjoy the beach holiday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you picked the perfect place to relax with a good book and enjoy good eats. Working on finishing a quilt from two years ago, added borders and now I have to piece the backing. It feels good to be at this point. petuniakr@aol.com

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a wonderful time--looks beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! Thanks for the updated link to Moira's post. H2H has really been going well, don't you think?! I am new to using a longarm. I have two donation quilts that I plan to quilt end-to-end, sharing the same backing. Actually, they could be done side-to-side but that seems like so much pinning onto the leader/ender. I thought I was so clever thinking of that - although, I'm certain it is nothing new. I had to gasp out loud when I saw your monkey panel. My niece just told me they are expecting and she wants a monkey baby quilt. I was thinking that was going to be difficult but I never considered a panel. It's kismet that I read your post today. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. It is windy and chilly here today in Wisconsin - 52 with 24 mph wind off Lake Michigan. Brrr! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a T-Quilt. Have fun on vacation, Sarah!
