Hi, all!
Monday is here once again, and I'm STILL stuffed from Thanksgiving! Those leftovers are the best, aren't they? We had a great holiday and I wasted a lot of time, but sometimes that's just the best thing, isn't it? So let's see how last week's list went...
1. Finish piecing the second half of my Christmas postage stamp quilt. I plan to quilt each half separately, then join them together like QAYG blocks. My frame isn't large enough to handle a quilt that big in one piece!
I did manage to finish all the piecing on this quilt...
2. Prepare the labels for the grandkids' annual quilts so they can be printed when I get home.
...but I didn't get to this one. Looks like I've got a start for this week's list!
3. Research extensions for my quilt frame to take it to true king size.
It looks like it would be quite cost prohibitive to extend my frame,even if I could find the parts to do it. I don't make that many king size quilts,so I'm going to save my pennies for somethingelse - like an arch light for my frame!
4. If time permits, work on my snowflake quilt UFO from last year.
I didn't get to this one either - just wasn't feeling it!
It was kind of a strange week - my husband threw out his back and we ended up going home early because he thought he'd be more comfortable there. It was ok, though, because I got to do a lot of Christmas decorating...
I'm really excited that we have a BIG tree this year!
The ceilings in our old house were very short - some I could reach without standing on a ladder - so we haven't had a tall tree in a long time. I actually got to put the stars on the top of the trees, instead of tying them way down the top!
I did a little shopping too - found these at Cracker Barrel! My husband said that apparently I have been missing being able to shop, but I just couldn't pass them up!
And our joint Christmas present arrived today! We splurged and got a SleepNumber bed - tonight we get to try it out. I'm excited! And as a bonus, my daughter and her husband have volunteered to house-sit for us the next time we go out of town, just so they can try out our bed. If I'd known that's all it took, I'd have bought one years ago....
OK, so my list suffered last week, but I did have a good time and a productive week, too. Here's what I'll be working on this week...
1. Make the labels for the annual quilts and attach them.
2. Quilt my Christmas quilt.
3. Quilt a gift quilt.
4. Finish up the Christmas decorating and put the storage
tubs back in the attic.
5. Start working on the next String Therapy quilt.
Definitely enough to keep me out of trouble for the week! Maybe a little too much, but it will be fun to try to get it all done.
So now the question is - - - what are YOU working on this week?
Hugs!
Sarah
