Cleaning, Cooking, Corresponding, Chaining.....

Hi,

I am a glutton for punishment...we are having company for Thanksgiving, some people that seldom come over...I want my sewing room to look, if not pristine, at least somewhat organized...So I am moving things around....Thank goodness a lot of shelves are on rollers...and then hopefully I will rearrange the shelves so they will look somewhat presentable...

I'll be cooking tomorrow or the next day after I get back from sewing.  Grocery shopping is on my list tomorrow as well as mailing these....




In the meantime, I now have 3 rows sewn together on my Zigsaw Quilt...


I have the 6 squares in the 4th row packaged up and ready to sew when I go to my quilting group.  The 7th one in the row I will have to design myself, as I am adding a column and row to the design..No biggie, but I have found that it is easier to work with when I have the squares already done that go next to it.

And finally, I am continuing sewing blocks for my Wash Day quilt.  This is one that is on the back burner on the stove in the barn in the far pasture....So far....I am using these as leaders and enders.  I need bookoos of them,(over 200), enough for a queen size..and then I have to cut and ready the blocks that go between these...I only have around 25-30 done so far.  


Yes, you see some near duplicates,,,that is because I am just getting started and trying to keep to a system...there will be more variety when done, I hope....

So that is what I have been doing the last week or so....

How about you???

The last week...working on son's quilt, while out of state (didn't get much done, but, every bit helps) got several pieces of Triangleations prepared to start sewing on them (ironed, cut, pinned) traveled for 3 days, started cleaning the house (was gone 22 days of the last 31 days) then traced patterns onto fusible, then ironed it on the fabrics, then cut it out while watching movies yesterday, now basting blocks so that I can hand quilt them while watching DWTS tonight. I'm sure I've forgotten several things. Oh yea, I'm having out of country blogger and her hubby to stay with us the week after Thanksgiving (did I mention that the house hasn't been cleaned in a while, since I've been gone?) Have fun making a quilt for YOU! I need to do that one of these days.
