that phrase has almost no meaning at all now that i don't work...LOL...not to say i haven't been busy sewing tho....first up, joseph's coat quilting is done and i've pulled the binding fabric...
a stripey fabric that's been in the stash and will work nicely. that's on today's agenda. the next UFO is already in the hoop. then, i've been sewing lanyards for the new local vet center...a project called platoon22....every day 22 vets commit suicide and the new center will provide support to help ameliorate the suffering...our DAR chapter made lanyards for nametags.
my guild has a challenge linked to our biannual quilt show. this year it's color theme and my choice was blue...naturally! a bag with assorted fabrics came my way and this is the start...
shouldn't take long to applique this center block and the others are pieced....january deadline for this. last, a dear friend and enabler of the finest kind sent this my way....
a kaffe fassett charm pack! swoon worthy as usual....i've already started a new project with these and other kaffe scraps in my collection. this is start #5 for the year, not too bad....with 11 knock offs from the UFO list it's progress in the right direction. hoping to cross off a few more before january rolls around.
summer has finally left the building! yesterday swapped seasonal clothing and flannel pants already in use. hoping guild meetings in person will resume soon. since returning from maine, have been mired in doldrums and bogged down with concern relating to friends' illnesses, my own economic situation and ongoing housing problems. really in need of some honest-to-goodness fun and diversion...so thankful family, online pals and my ample fabric stash have kept me going...
