I've got a lot to catch up on...

Need to work on:
the extra block for the skill builder,
my test block for the bee,
my bee block,
Row 2 of the Rocking Robin,
finishing my Sewn Spaces swap goodies,
go on a fabric run for the Make Mine Modern swap,
I'm sure there are more....*sigh*


Progress:
I've done a TON of triangles for the Rockin Robin.
Finished up my swap stuff for one, still have to wrap it.
Here's a peek.


My test block:


My extra skill builder block:


I'm going to keep on trucking on the Robin, but wait until tomorrow to cut Holly's block. The reality is I'M SCARED TO CUT THE FABRIC...which is ridiculous, I know.

Late night posting...

The two quilts are bound.
One was delivered to its home today (er...Thursday).
Pics coming.

The second is in need of washing before it's sent off.
That's on tap for the AM.
Pics for that pending as well.





I tried to catch up on my Farmer's Wife, but it resulted in me making a whopping 2 blocks before giving up. I'll put those pics up as well.

Night night!

Two quilts in need of binding...

I have the machine sewing bits done for the two unfinished lapquilts.
I've got a buncha hand sewing on tape to do tomorrow.





I also finished the first row on the Rockin Robin Quiltalong.
I'm digging the horribly bad 70s prints.





My Farmer's Wife blocks have been languishing. It's the templates. I had planned on transferring them to plastic. But my scissors and my patience ran out. I may attempt some more tomorrow. I feel like I'm falling so far behind in that one.

Please excuse the wretchedness of my pics. (Also, I took the pics after I pinned, but they have gone farther now...binding on.) I've been operating more in the "take a picture" mode than in photog mode. The photographer in me cringes.

Been cutting...

because I kind of prefer to do it in a big go.
(Maintaining measuring focus...NOT EASY.)

I've got pieces cut for The Pirate's parents (lapquilt) and pieces cut for my bestest friend's belated bday lapquilt.
I cut the pieces for the back of the batik quilt. Sewing the back and borders today. Sammiching tomorrow. I have two quilts to sammich tomorrow.
I also have to unpick some binding and add in more fabric.

I made a needlebook for a swap. I'm just not feeling like it's impressive enough.

LISTS BEING ATTACKED.

Phew...

Just finished a bunch of trees for a swap.
I'll post pics after I figure out if I'm allowed.

Onward to more quilting. Gotta sew on a border and a patchwork strip for a quilt back.
This puppy needs to be sammiched for quilting. I've got the goal of finishing it up to send off by Fri. I am thinking of also just using ties on the calico quilt rather than quilting it. It means it will actually get done this week..and it's an overdue thank you. Thoughts?

I caught up on some of my list today...

I caught up on the Skill Builder Sampler today.

Here are my three blocks:








I'm actually loving the colors and the prints more than I thought I would. (I'm using a bunch of FQs I got uber cheap at Joann's.)

I cut into my Farmdale stash to start the Farmer's Wife quilt-along.
I've cut up the pieces for a few blocks, but I only have one done so far. I think I'm going for a mix of Kona solids and Farmdale. So far at least.



I spent part of the day trying to glue the templates to plastic and then cutting them up.
Kraken had to be locked up as she was trying to eat the tiny pieces of shrapnel.
I love her but, seriously, she'd be the kid eating paint chips since she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. *sigh*

Woooo!

I finished the binding of the harvesty colored quilt. I got the quilting mostly done on the turquoise one, but I have to pick some of it out. Note to self: Don't straight line quilt when exhausted...
All the nine patches are done for the batik one. Now I just have to cut them up and reassemble.
