Weekends are the harder Quiltathons for me and this one has been no exception. With Vince home and willing to work in the garden, we spent way too much time out there working today.
The only thing I did in the sewing room, besides sit and play with Boots for a while, was cut a bunch of strips of fabric to use to tie up tomato plants. I don’t think that counts for a successful day in the sewing room. 🙂
Hope everyone else is getting more accomplished (sewing) than I am.

I’m afraid my day quiltathon day went like yours. But since then I’ve sent off 2quilts I had finished and one quilt top that needs to be quilted and I’ve nearly sewed another Quilt of Valor top. it’s not easy fit our lives into what is ordered by someone else. I’m sure if you look over a months time you’ll find many more projects that were finished on your time schedule and that you feel at peace with. Time working and spent with Vince is important too. I’m really looking forward to tomato season. I know you are too.

That’s the way my quilting, sewing goes – Life interrupting. I need to sandwich the UFO I’m working on. In 2012, I started to do this by QAYG, and now I want to do it the conventional way. I may have to unpick the two blocks I got quilted first. Haven’t decided yet. Ah, me.

Not much better than yours. Drove into Houston to pick up my next block for Qube Club, stopped by JoAnns (didn’t find much), and Academy to buy corn to feed the black bellied whistling ducks who visit each morning and evening. Dinner, checking on my very small vegetable plot, and then Dr. Pol with my husband. I did look at my new String Fling book.

Did a little cutting out and got 2 blocks sewn but nothing much to show for a days sewing. The first block seemed to frazzle my brain and I kept making mistakes so lots of unpicking. In the end decided to take Scamp for a walk instead and then my daughters popped in to visit so no more sewing.

A neighbor just came by and asked me to fix a pair of pants for her. I don’t know how to say no.

Had to go to Home Depot yesterday to schedule a visit from their flooring measure man. Seems my icemaker has been leaking over time, so now when we walk on the plank flooring water literally squishes up from beneath! Just had the flooring all done in 2013 ?

Today it was a long nap after church and just can’t get my rear in gear.

i am sewing… and drafting, and quilting. trying to tie up several loose ends so don’t feel like i’m accomplishing much but have been keeping busy. tonite i’ll prep one dear jane block and that will be my sewing for tomorrow. i’ve learned i get to it faster when i have just finished one step and ready to begin the next. i guess it helps the flow to start in right away rather than have to decide what to do where i can get easily distracted.
