monday report

a busy week on tap and with seasonable aka not oppressive heat, at least tolerable.  spent my weekend doing quite a bit of sewing.  the only house chore was do up the laundry.  so what did i do?  spent a fair amount of time quilting on 'midnight'....

i'm on the applique border now...the next one is those tiny churn dash blocks....since there are a gazillion seams in the remaining three, opting for simple but sufficient quilting.  was hoping to finish before vacay but think it's doubtful, tho close.  

the wedding quilt assembly line is in full swing....

pulled a stack of nickels from the tote, sewing them up in pairs, trimming to 4.5" and then into twosies then foursies...this isn't all i need, there are 66 blocks in all, but it's a good start to show the bride-to-be on her visit next week.  next up is to cut 528 blocks from the gray 2.75" and 264 from the white measuring 4.5"...simple shapes but it'll be a pretty quilt.  

took all my resolve to resist starting yet another new project....

amish buggy wheels by jean nolte in a 2010 fons & porter magazine....pulled it out for someday.  have oodles of solid scraps that would be perfect, but working hard to stay on task and get something else finished first....it isn't easy i can tell you!

and this arrived saturday....

isn't that just the cutest little thing to hold all that candy before the ghosts and goblins arrive?  i never get any of course, but might make it anyway.  it could hold some bewitching scraps!  designer is Kristyne Czepuryk.

today off to gym again to see how leg behaves.  i've given it a stern lecture hoping i'll get my routine in.  and this is haircut week as well...finally!  only one medical appointment and some senior center doings, a new veg recipe and farmer's market stop.  next week is shaping up similarly.  not overly busy, just enough to keep from getting bored.  hope your week ahead is equally enjoyable!
