Make-A-List Monday - Because Tuesday Is The New Monday!

 

Hi, all!

Well, it's been a hot minute since I last posted - summer is hard on regular schedules!  And since my husband was off from work yesterday, I completely lost track of my days and forgot that it was Monday.  Oh well - I guess Tuesday is the new Monday!  

We had a great time in New Orleans - while hubby was working, I managed to get a design drawn up for this year's 12 Days of Christmas in July quilt-along, and even figured out the fabric requirements using (gasp!) pencil, paper and calculator!  


We'll see how accurate it all is once I get started cutting it out!  We also ate a lot of good food - check out these fabulous onion rings we had at Deanie's Seafood in the French Quarter...


Try as we might, we couldn't eat all of them!  New Orleans is a great place for food and we didn't even scratch the surface.  It was hot, though - the heat index was near 100 degrees the whole time we were there.  Tennessee feels cool by comparison!

Once I got home, I did work on packaging up all the remaining prizes for Hands2Help...


You can see my little assistant there - although I did have a larger one, as Lilli helped me get these together.  She's good company!

So now for this week - here's what's on my horizon for the week...

1.  Mail those packages!

2.  Work on a couple of commission t-shirt quilts.

3.  Draw up a plan for some vintage quilt blocks.

4.  Quilt four full-size quilts.

5.  Bind two ministry quilts.

6.  Cut out the 12DCIJ prototype quilt (and TAKE PICS!)

I have a bunch more stuff I could add to this list, but I'm going to stop there because I'm not even sure I'll have time to do all this - but I can at least make a good start on it!

So now, I really want to know - - - what are YOU working this week?

Hugs!

Sarah

  1. Hey! I was just in New Orleans too - and the heat index was crazy. Good luck with your list. I need to pin and get a twin size quilt quilted this week.

  2. those onion rings look fantastic! too hot to be in the gulf for me in the summer - I'm not an ocean person so going at a cooler time works for me. So many love the area though I bet you enjoyed yourself
