Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along - Block Three

Here's my third block.  Piece of cake to put together.

I put all three blocks together and I noticed one thing... my blocks are very green heavy.  Need to add more blue.  Mental note for block four... use more blue!

Enjoy your day!

This is the title of my post

What a boring blog I have.  I can't even think of a clever title.  Nothing creative happening.  Actually, I do have a few things in various stages of completion.  Just nothing finished.  OH.  My jelly roll sampler block is done.  I can show you that... when I take its picture.

We've had LOTS of rain the last couple of days.  A lot of towns in my corner of the state and Rhode Island have declared State of Emergency due to flooding from crested rivers.  I know the place where I work let people go home early today (I was working from home) due to area streets being flooded and closed.  Not good.  Hopefully the sunshine comes back tomorrow.

I promise I will have some things to show you soon - within the next couple of days.

Enjoy your night!

Some Advice

NEVER cut fabric - and SEW said fabic- ESPECIALLY HSTs - when you are delirious and hopped up on cold medicine, thinking you'll do just fine. 

That's all I have to say about that.

LOL.

Wow.  I put my pinwheel block together this afternoon.

Yeah.

I'm doing it over.

:)

Enjoy your day!

Friday Night Sew In Results

This is going to be a short post.  I'm totally under the weather and I think I have either a really good cold or the start of the flu.  Not good.

So this is what I got finished during my Friday Sew All Day marathon.  Please excuse the poor picture set up.  I have no energy to walk outside and take nicer pictures.  It's gorgeous here today and I had all kinds of ideas to clean out my gardens.  Ain't gonna happen.

Charm Pinwheel tote for my hairdresser made out of Verna charms.

My potholders for the 2nd swap.

And my pillowcase donation for Jackie.

I'm off to go pass out now.

Friday Night Sew In

Are you going to join in?  I am and I'm totally looking forward to it.  I have plans to make it an ALL DAY Friday sew-in.  Work is just getting on my nerves and my brain (and attitude!) needs a break.  And I think sewing all day and watching/listening to movies is just the break I need.

I have lots of stuff planned out that I want to work on.  First off, I need to get my potholders done for the 2nd swap I joined.  I only have one partially pieced together.  But I'm hoping to have those both pieced together before Friday so all I have to do is quilt them. 

Next on my list is a pinwheel charm bag for my hairdresser.  She really liked the one I made for myself and Punkie to share so I'm making one for her.  My next hair appointment is on the 27th so I would REALLY like to get it done and give it to her then.  But if I don't, it WILL be done for my April "beautification" appointment.

Another project I want off my To Do list... pillowcase donation.  Jackie had posted that her guild is going to donate pillowcases to a local charity and I told her that I would make one or two.  And I totally forgot.  And I think the deadline is in April.  GAAAH!  So Jackie, if you are reading this... I'm still committed!  Just forgot!  I'll at least get ONE to you!

And if I still have time, energy and my sanity, I would like to continue with my 4 patch blocks for Punkie's quilt.  And I think I have something else I wanted to get done but I can't remember what so it must not be that important right now.

Enjoy your day!
