More Strings

Hello All!  How is everyone on this snowy Tuesday?  Well, it's snowing at my house again.  Can I say I'm tired of all this snow?!  We're expecting another 3-6 inches of this dreaded white stuff.  Thankfully, Amelia is on a winter break for school so today doesn't count against her.

I have been keeping up with my sewing.  My personal goal was to have 12 additional string blocks done by the end of February and I'm happy to say, I made my goal.  24 string blocks done.


I need to dig through my stash a little more.  I have a bunch of strings cut but I'm tired of the repeats so time to expand further into the stash.  I will say that my sewing room is a disaster.  Bins of fabrics all over.  Fabrics thrown willy-nilly back on the shelf.  But I am so focused on the sewing, I'm ignoring the rest of the room.

My next goal with this project is to have 16-20 (24 would be nice) more blocks completed by the end of April.  Ultimate end is 36 blocks. I think that would make for a nice sized lap quilt.

LOL!  If Jen knew how to add!!  If 36 is my ultimate goal, I only need 12 more blocks.  DUH!  40 blocks wouldn't be bad either.

Enjoy your day!!
Jen :)
