Make-A-List Monday - Summer Quilting is Fun!

Hi, all!

Hey, I remembered it's Monday!!  It's been a little crazy around here because my grands were out of town last week.  They didn't get home until Sunday morning (after an eight hour flight delay and a night in the airport), and we are going out of town on Wednesday, so we had dinner tonight instead of Wednesday night.  All of which conspired to make it easy to forget it is actually Monday - but here I am!  So let's take a look at last week's list and see how it went....

1.  Mail those packages!
Done!  And I've been getting thank you e-mails already, so I know they are arriving!

2.  Work on a couple of commission t-shirt quilts.
It's a work in progress, but progressing!  I didn't take any pictures yet, but the blocks are all prepped and ready to be sewn together.

3.  Draw up a plan for some vintage quilt blocks.
I haven't gotten to this one yet.

4.  Quilt four full-size quilts.
5.  Bind two ministry quilts.
Well, I managed to quilt two of the full size quilts, and did the binding - here's the stack I have to take back to church tomorrow, including two that I bound at church and brought home to wash.


6.  Cut out the 12DCIJ prototype quilt (and TAKE PICS!)
Done!  I'll be taking this with me on our trip this weekend, and hope to get the top assembled before we come home.


So while I didn't get everything done, I did get to a good bit!  This week is short because of our trip, but I do have a list, so here goes...

1.  Gather up all my sewing supplies for our trip.

2.  Give Lilli some driving lessons!

3.  Work on assembling the 12DCIJ prototype quilt, and TAKE PICTURES!

4.  If time permits, lay out the first of two t-shirt quilts.

5.  Meet with another customer about a t-shirt quilt commission.

So that's what my week looks like!  I'm kind of excited about this trip - it's a short trip to Sevierville, TN - but we are taking Bree with us for the first time.  I'm interested to see how she handles travel and new surroundings.  Plus she'll be good company for me as I work on my quilt while my husband is off working!

And one other thing - I am looking for bloggers who want to be part of the 12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop, so if you are interested, please email me at salliesue57 (at) gmail (dot) com!

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

Hugs!

Sarah

  2. Holy Cow you got a ton done! Quilting 4 full sized quilts alone is a LOT of time at the machine.

    Enjoy!
