Finish of the Day

Today I got a client quilt finished. It took me most of the day so I didn't get to any of my sewing. I also loaded the next quilt on to be done. (I must confess-----while getting dinner ready I played a little with my treadle. I finished my first string pieced block on it. YAY!!!!).

That's it for now.

End of Month Reports 7-31-13

Let's start with Lovely Year of Finishes 
Once again I did not finish the BQ quilt I have been trying to get done. So once again I will list that as my to do item for August. If I don't get something finished on any of my lists I will roll it over to the following month. Maybe that will shame push me to get it done.

Here's the link for August

Next we will report on Judy L's Get It Done.
I had listed:
            1. the BQ quilt (once again) not done
            2. Quest for a Cure-done and delivered to Dr.'s
            3. Paws To Sew Sampler-not done
            4. Barns-not done
To view pics on these projects go here.
New projects for this month are:
            1. BQ (eventually this WILL be done)
            2. Paws To Sew Sampler
            3. Barns
            4. Basket Case Quilt (view pic here)

Next up is the New FO Challenge
This is what I want to work on this month.

These were blocks that I actually won at a retreat and they have been put away since then. I need to get these done. Maybe. But I will start on them at least.


That's it for now.

Quilts & a New Addition to the family

I have kept my nose to the grindstone this last week until today. My goal was a quilt a day and I have managed to do that. Here are a couple of quilt that I have completed this week.

Next up---Farmer's Wife

Now on to other news. I have a new addition to my family ( my family of machines that is).
I was perusing Craigslist the other day and happened to see a listing for this little gem.

Well long story short. It was a 2 1/2 hour round trip, but home it came. I still have to go through and do a little cleaning and  oiling, but isn't she a beaut?

It came with a manual and TWO boxes of attachments and a few other goodies. I am soooooooo stoked to get going on this and start sewing on it. Before I can spend too much time on it I do have to finish the last 2 quilts that I should have done by now.  I guess this will give me incentive to get to work.
