What to Work on Today and Observations

Oh, so many things to work on today and I want them all Finished!  

I have started on my HSTs for my Maverick quilt.  Will get those done and then work on the other blocks... I have a time frame here.....would love to have it all done by the end of June...is it possible, don't know....will be handquilting....So the quicker I get the blocks done and arranged, the better....

Of course, they won't mean much until I get quite a few more and start playing with them.

You know that every time you make one HST, you usually make two.  I have 5 because one of the first pair ended up too small...goof in final cutting... So I fixed a template and am using it as a go-by since I don't have a big enough ruler to suit me.  These blocks are 12 1/2" as they look here. I'll need 28 of them and may not use some of the duplicates....will just have to wait and see what I come up with.

Next, you have seen a couple of these on the side, in My Sewing Room Progress....

Bless its' little heart,  my Wall Hanging is still Hanging....it is dedicated to the "Take Along" spot because it is small and easy to handle during any Waiting Time.....I only have about 1/2 of the binding to go, and then finish tacking down the hanging tabs. 

I have to bind my Goodie Food table runner, and I am not counting the 12 placemats I need to make....

I have only a smiggen of quilting to do before my GD quilt is ready for the Already Made binding...that has been in the works for several months... I have that goal listed in Amy's One Thing One Week Challenge for this week....or is it the runner binding????

I might have finished it last night, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn't....

Thus an Observation......

I should never do serious quilting while watching an Indiana Jones movie....I end up Watching the movie....and I have seen it before..... Usually I can absorb various TV episodes while concentrating on quilting, as I should.  I don't have the luxury of quilting during commercials..DH and I like to record what we want to watch for a later date when we can fast forward through them.

That's why I put well-watched movies on my computer in my sewing room...I can listen to the dialogue and work, glancing up every once in awhile, and be completely happy with the "noise background"....

Another Observation....

It's Open Window Day again....the Outside calls me....I even mowed around the house this last weekend.  Another temptation in my quilting path..... We are blessed with a warm winter (as a whole) this year....no telling what the temperature will be several months from now....

Oh, our plum trees are blooming....so we have hopes again this year....we will see how that turns out...
