2. The Pink Tile quilt.
3. The Across the Sea boy quilt.
4. Rockin Robin.
5. My 241 Noodlehead bag.
6. Random square quilt.
7. My long overdue Dead Simple QAL cross quilt.
8. My red, grey, & black bee block quilt (using blocks from my 3x6 rounds)

The ones that are done as of right this second:
1. The Monkey Quilt

2. The Pink Tile Quilt

4. Rockin Robin (my worst quilting to date)

5. 241 Noodlehead bag

7. Dead Simple cross quilt (This is the quilt that gets the most use in the house)


Status of the Rest:
3. Across the Sea boy quilt---untouched
6. Random square quilt--back pieced...may or may not get finished tomorrow

I didn't enough sewing done today...

because I had to get my eyes dilated at the eye doc.
That was approximately 5 hours ago and I still look like I've been at a Grateful Dead concert.
We have the lights off in the house because my eyes still hurt.
Luckily, this time I didn't get a migraine. (I'm super sensitive to light changes and have gotten migraines the last 2 or 3 times I've gotten dilated.)

My goal tomorrow is to pin baste two quilts.
Sat's goal is to finish piecing another top.
I'm going to link up to the Finish Along Sat or Sun. I'm sure I'll still have some UFOs.
And that's ok.
I'm still having a good time....

How did it get to be Wed already?

I've been tooling away at some projects, and *Cough* I may have started a few *cough* more.

Layout decided for red, black, and grey quilt. I'm going to use 2 extra blocks for pillows.

Back pieced for Stained Quilt.

Pieces gathered for back of Sew. Happy. Sewing to commence soon.

Begun: charm quilt out of 2 in squares. Right now I'm just chain piecing.

Pulled stack for another Stained.

Still UFOs:
apron for Pirate
charm quilt for kid
paper pieced tangerine mini
secret project
still need to choose Pretty Little Pouch design

I zumba'd tonight. Gah. I'm gonna hurt in the morning. Is it wrong that I was a bit relieved a college girl thought it was too hard to finish the class?

It's a Monday, but I've got a semi-finish!

I sewed up my Stained Quilt from the QAL.

I love it. So does the Pirate.




I've got a panel for the back done as well.

It's on the list to finish next week. I'm trying to get a whole bunch of tops to at least basting level before next Monday so I can quilt up a storm.

I made some scrappy blocks over the weekend, to clear up a bunch of stuff in my scrap bin.
I've got some string blocks to do as well.





I need to add to a panel on the last one. It was the first one I did and the others got bigger.

I've also got a giveaway coming soon. Some Malka...woooooo!

What I've been up to...

I finished and mailed my Covert Robin package.
I, however, stupidly forgot to take pictures of it.
*sigh*
Hopefully, my partner will like it and post pictures of it.

I finished my March/April NuBee blocks. (I actually had all but one done before, I just never posted them.)






I now have all my blocks done for the Stained Quilt QAL.
(This isn't all of them, but I haven't taken a new pic....I'm now joining them all up)


I did my March blocks for the Sew Bee Blissful hive:


I did my started block for the Mini Mystery Round Robin. It's getting mailed out this week.


I also got 4 scrappy blocks done. Aout half of my big old scrap bin busted.
Oh..and I saw The Hunger Games moves. Truth be told, I really like the books better.

Because I am a PROCRASTINATION QUEEN!

I didn't finish my Stained Quilt blocks today.
Or the bee blocks I need to finish and mail by this weekend.
Instead, I gathered together the scraps (the truly scrappy scraps) from my Stained quilt and made a pillow using the Pleated Box Pillow sew along directions over at Craftbuds.
Oh, but I LOVED making this. Using up scraps...making a pillow to match a quilt.
I'm definitely coming back to this one. I'm thinking of making one with the leftover Lark I'll have once my Sew. Happy. Quilt is officially done.
I love that it's the perfect sized nap pillow...and that I can remove the cover for washing.
That's my biggest complaint about pillows for napping. I have major allergies and dust mites are evil.
Here's a pic:

If you're looking for a pillow pattern, it was easy, and I, at least, loved the results!
