Good Morning Quilters!
Here it is August already and I feel like I can't post another picture of my design wall - because it looks the same as last week! But I do have a great reason. I was on vacation all week up north in Michigan. Our family came from all over and we had a great time.
Now I am home again, refreshed, and ready to quilt up a storm! At lease I hope so! I did read your blogs, and one I liked a lot was from Chris from Quilting at the Farm (Here) She makes me feel better in that she didn't get some things done on her list either......but she also DID make a list, which is better than the list that's in my head.
So, after reading her blog, I have formed a written list below for the month of August.
1) Get at least five of the small blocks sewn together into a strip every day in August, starting today, the 7th. Try to sew on this project at least 20 minutes each day. The goal is to get the top assembled and off the design wall.
2) Get the cutting board area cleaned off.
3) Shorten the hems on hubby's new pajamas (sleeves and pant legs) to make them fit him better. I could take them back, but I hate returning things more than I hate altering them.
It is a short list, but I am trying to stay "Whelmed" and not "Overwhelmed".
It was a busy week, and I have no vacation pictures to share. I was having such a good time that I left my phone in my room most of the time. The house we rented had an extensive book collection, so I enjoyed browsing some cookbooks, and also read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" again. And a short book "Who Moved My Cheese".
Before I left, three of my quilts were sent to Sue Daurio (Here) to see what she can do to finish them. Here is an old photo of the two 1930s basket quilts to refresh your memory. I am waiting to hear what her inspiration will be for quilting them.
She did such a great job on the last two quilts that I sent to her, and these two will get her special treatment too, I am sure. The third one was the redwork quilt that I've worked on for such a long time. It felt good to move them to the longarm quilter stage.
What plans do you have for August? I shall read your blogs and find out what you are working on. Thanks so much for being so faithful in linking with the Design Wall Monday Linky Party. I look forward to Mondays.
Let's join again this week so we can read your blogs and look at your beautiful pictures. Please provide a link back to this post so that we can toggle back and forth to all the blogs. Also, it would be nice if you mentioned our Design Wall Monday Linky Party in your post. Happy Monday!
