Weekend Update

Well, I guess that making my list kept me on task and I was fairly productive. I didn’t get everything finished, but I got enough done to make me happy.

I already showed the cutting that I finished. Here are the placemats for my aunt who hosted Christmas.



And my Thimbleberries blocks for the BOM. I made one 12.5” and three 6.5”. Check out those points! It certainly pays to take my time.





And presenting a labeled and freshly washed Café au Lait in Every Pot. Ninja approved!



And I loaded Lover’s Lane on the frame and made a couple of passes so far. I decided against doing hearts because I was still not comfortable doing them on a real quilt. And I think that the close loops looks great so far!




I’m using a pink and brown variegated Lava thread by Superior. It is just lovely! And it really pops on the dark brown inner border!

For a final recap, my goals were:

1. 4 Thimbleberries blocks - DONE
2. 4 blocks for Teal BOM - not done
3. Quilt Lover's Lane including label - Well, the label has been made, but it is going to be hand stitched to the quilt. The quilt has been loaded and a couple of passes have been made. I should finish it tonight.
4. Cut pieces for Thangles Milky Way's last border - DONE
5. 4 placemats - DONE
6. Attach binding to umbrella quilt - not done, but the binding is ready
7. Cut pieces and begin assembly on a sample for the shop - Well, the pieces have been cut. And I will start drawing my lines at lunch today for the HST blocks.

I am calling this a successful weekend even though 1 item was not started and 3 items are not completed. I still got a lot done and some things finished that weren't even on the list. And I feel relaxed and refreshed today. Now, let's see if that holds up once I get to work.
