Happy Friday Everyone!

Hope you are all having a fantastic start to your Friday! It’s a grey one here today but I got some exercise in and ran my errands and now I’m free to blog and pack up for a guild workshop tomorrow. I’m taking Marge Tucker’s improvisational circle piecing class…now that was a mouthful. The supply list isn’t too long so I think I probably can grab it all out of my stash.

The mailman brought this yesterday…my Swing Into Spring placemats and copies of Quilter’s World spring issue…these are featured on page 100. I’m super excited to be part of their magazine once more. There’s even a quote on the right page! I had to read through it to remember what I said! LOL!!

 

 

 

 

 

This week I’ve been splitting my time between writinig and quilting. I PROMISED myself I would exercise at least 3 days this week and I have. I’m surely tempted to blow it off but hubs bought me a huge Zumba dvd kit and I’m determined to use it. I’ve been starting the dvd around 7am and finishing at 8am then I work on breakfast dishes and getting dressed which gets me to the computer or craft room by 9am. I’m working until 1pm then picking up the rest of the house and getting dinner prepped because the girls are home by 2pm and the afternoon/evening taxi circus begins.  We have activiites every night varying with ending times between 7-9pm. Tired yet? I am. There should be some type of Uber car service for kids! LOL!!!

So in my two days that I wasn’t writing and I made it into the sewing room, I made these two blocks which are the first of the blocks for my 1930’s beach quilt (beach  blanket sounds better).

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the problem. I used a white fabric from my stash and what you see there is about all I have of that white. I went to Joann’s today to find it and had zero luck. I bought a few yards of Kona White and now I’ll use that for the rest of the quilt. Since this will be going to the beach and not entered in a show, I’m not going to worry about the whites being slightly off.

The other project I worked on was my redwork embroidery. I traced it and started stitching. It’s a fun project.

 

 

 

 

 

The stuff I didn’t do that I should have was to start designing a mug rug for Valentine’s Day, work on submission projects and list a bunch of stuff leftover from the craft fair on Etsy. Next week….

What are you all working on?
