1 - My husband is home on long weekends, so not as much sewing gets done. :-)
2 - Since its the long weekend, I want to get lots of sewing done instead of posting on the blog.
Either way, I didn't post anything late last week or yesterday, so my "make-a-list Monday" is now Tuesday for this week.
I don't have any photos to share yet, but it was a busy weekend. I was able to get a fair amount of sewing done, but we also rebuilt a sand-bag dam for holding water in the spring. We wanted to rebuild it now while we didn't have a lot of water to deal with. So we managed to move over 90 wet sandbags (yuck) and rebuilt the dam using just sandbags and a pond liner to help with sealing. We also added at least another 50 sandbags to the dam to shore it up.
We also did some window shopping at furniture stores. We're trying to find a pub-height table for our kitchen, but haven't really found anything yet. There was one we liked, but it was way more expensive than what we wanted to spend for the kitchen. So we'll keep looking....
So last week, here's what was on the list:
1. Trim the baby quilt and machine sew binding. Done! I'm about 1/3 of the way done hand-sewing binding.
2. Finish sewing star blocks for "Whirly Stars". Done! I also have the main quilt top done. I just need to add the borders at this point.
3. Order thread for Lone Star quilt and applique project. Bad, Sarah! This isn't done yet.
4. Layer and baste Lone Star quilt. This also isn't done yet.
So this coming week is a short week since we're already on Tuesday and Friday is going to be spent preparing for "Pre-Thanksgiving" with my husband's family. I would like to get a few things done though...
1. Finish sewing entire quilt top for "Whirly Stars".
2. Order thread for Lone Star quilt, applique project and Wildflower Fields.
3. Baste Lone Star quilt on the quilting frame.
4. Quilt a lap-sized quilt for my guild's charity group.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
Happy Crafting!
