Progress Report 6/15 thru 6/21

To start off the week---

Sunday-Father's Day. Took DH out to breakfast, then we went grocery shopping, Came home and got stuff put away and then I went looking for a backing for a quilt top that I would like to get done and take with me to retreat.

Monday-finished up the T-shirt blocks and sashing. DH took me to get new seat covers for my van. I've had the van for 10 years and when we got it I put some cheapie covers on and needless to say, IT WAS TIME for new ones.

Tuesday-out to LQS to meet with new client for quilting services

Wednesday-to dentist for routine cleaning. Put borders on T-shirt quilt.

Thursday-meeting at my house for monthly quilting group.

Friday-getting stuff packed up (again) for retreat next week. Went to Friday Night Sew at LQS.
Also loaded quilt (of mine, no less) to quilt so I can take to retreat for Show and Tell.

Saturday-Goofed off. Had someone come by to pick up a sewing cabinet that I was getting rid of, then played in the sewing room for a little while. That's about it.

Hope you all had a great week.
Next post should have pics from retreat.

July 9 thru 14 Progress Report

Well lets start at Monday---
Monday-out at LQS for Marti & Me classes
Tuesday-Cut out 5 purses
Wednesday-cut out 7 Reach for recovery totes, cut 1 more purse pattern,  cut out for 2 Boxtrot quilts, made a trip to fabric store to pick up supplies needed, loaded one of my quilts on machine for quilting.
Thursday-met with quilting client (disgruntled). I won't even go into that except to say that if you leave decisions up to me---I don't mind read. Then we had a little storm go through and lost power so I didn't do anything else for the day.
Friday-I got an early morning call from a friend telling me about a yard sale in my area. Such an enabler. I figured I'd go check it out and this is what I came home with.

A Singer 185K----and-----

A Sew Rite.
Needless to say. I haven't gotten much done today. We'll see how tomorrow goes. I'm going to try to start on a commissioned T-Shirt quilt I need to get done.
Saturday- started on the T-shirt quilt. Got 5 blocks done. Also quilted one of my quilt tops (that was donated to me) that goes to my Dr's office. I also added inner and outer border to quilt that I want to take with me in a couple of weeks to a retreat (I won the blocks there).

That's what I've accomplished this week. Let's see what next week brings.

June Week 1 Progress Report

This  month has started out pretty good. I did get caught up with client quilting at the end of last month. Monday when I went out to the LQS I took all the quilts out with me so they could be picked up.
Tuesday-at another LQS to help with her Customer Appreciation Sale.
Wednesday-sat at the hospital cause a friend was having surgery. Everything went fine and dandy.
Thursday through Saturday-back at the LQS for the rest of the sale (went from Tuesday-Saturday).
On my way into the sale on Saturday morning I just HAD to make a stop at a yard sale. This is what I came away with.

What can I say. I just had to have it. This one is actually a 220V. The grey thingy is the power converter so you can plug into 110.

Today, I was actually going to get some stuff done (samples for the LQS) for Marti & Me for tomorrow out at the LQS, but instead I have done a little planting out in the garden. DH took me out for breakfast and then we watched a movie (Pompeii). Maybe this evening I can go to the "black hole" and do the samples. While I sat and watched the movie I worked on some hand sewing on the hexies I've been working on Hooking up to Slow Stitching Sunday here.

I have about 40 of these done. I know I still need a lot more, but it's a start. I have also started some of the embroidery on the Vintage Tin from Crabapple Hill.

Hopefully now that I am caught up on client quilts I can get to some of my own tops to be quilted, and maybe work on some other projects I have started.
That's it for now.
