See, I have a quilt top that needs to be basted and quilted.
And I have a quilt that's good to go except for handsewing the binding.
That was my plan for today, as well as purchasing supplies for the Sailor Mouth Swap.
Well, I did the shopping, but now I have to wait for it to get here.
I ended up mostly just catching up today (and yesterday).
I'm suffering from major brain deadness today.
I packed up stuff to mail, then headed out to run errands and realized at errand #1 that I forgot the packages on the dining room table. Then I forgot The Pirate's conditioner at the drug store.
So, I made another trip. Postable stuff posted. Conditioner purchased.
Anywho, this is what I got done:
My August Nubee blocks:
I think I'm reusing this block for my 3x6 blocks. Oh, I got some solids to do those today, too.
I caught up on the Sew Intertwined QAL (did that yesterday, really):
I really love this block. I am thinking there is a quilt in just these blocks out there in the future.
Caught up on the How Far Will You Go? QAL:
I'm apparently on a Hope Valley kick right now.
What I still have to do in the upcoming week:
*Prep my 3x6 blocks
*do this week's blocks for Sew Intertwined (on Fri.)
*do this week's blocks for How Far Will You Go?
*quilt and bind the quilt that was supposed to get done today. (Also, there is a giveaway coming when it's done)
*Handsew the binding on the Across the Sea boy
*Do some handsewing on the Medallion
*Get the layout done for the Hexy MF (and get some more flowers assembled)
Here's the bummer. I forgot where I was in the summer relative to where school starts.
I've got my class list. I'm excited. Good kids! (Not that they aren't every year, at least where I teach.) But, um, I've already started going in to get set up. School officially starts (with kids) next week. In the meantime, I have my birthday coming next weekend. I'll be 38. Eep.
So, there are some things on my to do list for the summer that I have yet to start (in some cases) or finish (in others):
1. Tank top. Uh, I washed the fabric.
2. Embellish skirt. Uh, I made the skirt. I really need to finish this one as I need some clothes for school.
3. Weekender bag. I have the supplies, except for feet. I'm not sure I'm ready to attack this one. It seems a bit scary.
4. My Swoon mini. I started hand quilting it.
If anyone figures out a way to get more done, let me know. I'd like a time machine for my bday.

I'm thinking interns. At least that's the only thing I've come up with. The cats aren't helpful.
Loving the Hope Valley blocks, ALL of them x
Haha. I set things out on my cutting area and keep a list of the things I want to do during the week at least. Great looking blocks =D
How did the classroom painting go? I think it was all Allegory's fault you were led astray this summer, throwing down challenges and all... ;o)
All your blocks look so lovely. Great progress.
hope valley... aaaaahhhhh!
Happy almost birthday!! I think I'm about to cut into my happy stack of Hope Valley...
Well you got more done than I have in the past 2 weeks. If you do get that time machine for your birthday, can I borrow it every so often?
Um you are hardcore woman! That's quite a lot done. And this Sailor Mouth Swap you speak of: I just checked it out on Flickr - that is AMAZING! Good luck on the time machining and happy sewing!
