I've ignored my Bliss Disappearing 9 patch blocks for some time now. I finally pulled those back out and got 4 more done. They haven't "disappeared" yet. If my math is correct (and it hardly ever is), I think I need 36 blocks plus sashing and borders for the top to fit my bed just the way I would want it to. I need my husband to do the calculation for me to double check.
Postage Stamp top - 6 more blocks done. Rachel is way ahead of me! I have lots of sewing to do to catch up. My plan is to sew some more this afternoon. At least for an hour.
And the 'need to make' project. If you are familiar with the site youcanmakethis.com and are a "fan" of them on Facebook, they are giving a free download until the end of the month for a super cute Summer wallhanging. Mine isn't completely finished yet but I'm super close. It will be done next week. At least that is my plan (minus quilting and binding of course). I'll show it again when I have the white blocks completed.
There you have it. My FNSI results. I have something else I've been working on. I'll show that soon. I know I've been complaining about my non-working status but I've been getting tons done in the sewing department. I just feel guilty sewing the day away so I've made a schedule for myself. House chores in the morning (or errands or whatever) and sewing after lunch. It has worked out for me. Someone suggested that to me in a comment in one of my blog posts. I can't remember who but it has worked.
OH! One more thing... today is my husband's birthday! We did our little family celebration last night with a delicious ham dinner, a sinful chocolate truffle "bomb" dessert and presents. This morning, Punk and I treated him to breakfast out and this afternoon, we're going to his parents for steak dinner and cake. Weekend full of celebrating. Happy Birthday Honey! We love you!
Enjoy your day!

A very happy birthday weekend to your hubby!! Sounds like you all have been making it a fun one!! Off to check out the link for that cute summer quilt!

ReplyDeleteYou got TONS done! Good idea on the house chores and errands in the morning and sewing as a reward in the afternoon. Love all the colors on everything that you worked on!
ReplyDeleteYou got lots done! Your Bliss quilt will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI finished all 48 of my PS blocks last night. Now to sew them together. It's past noon (12:09 to be exact) and I'm not at the sewing machine yet, but at least I've vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen, coloured my hair, and showered. Oh, and folded some laundry. So not a total waste of a morning.
Happy Birthday to your hubby (I originally wrote that as "huggy" haha). It sounds like you have a fun weekend of celebrations!
Maybe I got my idea for the Bliss DNP from an earlier post of yours...who knows! I really love Bliss anyway you do it! Happy Birthday Mr Punkie Pie...have a fun day all of you!
