Four Patches

This morning after eggs and coffee I got started on my four patches.

I chain pieced alotta strip sets.

Of course after the great satisfaction of getting them sewn... they have to be pressed. 

Then the cutting... oh the cutting.

Luckily I was reminded when my mother-in-law told me she was watching Cedar Cove, that I still had some episodes left to watch also! 

 After I ran out of Cedar Cove I watched a boatload of One Tree Hill.

I got some of the blocks made and pressed.

I still have a decent number left to make.  

Tomorrow.

'Night!

A Weekend Quest

 

I decided this afternoon that I am going to do my darnedest to get a quilt made this weekend.  It's been a long time since I have got anything done, and it's been forever since I made a quilt in just a couple of days.

After getting my chores done today I washed up the fabrics for the monster's new quilt. After dinner I got the quilt cut out.  I'm in good shape so far.

 

Wish me luck!

Snapshots Block Two

Block two had lots of cutting!

But it is super cute and I love it!

Let Them Eat Cake

...And beef and snow peas.  I didn't actually abandon my dinner making duty last night.  

I cooked.  I even did all the dishes.

  

After running to the store to get a cone for the pup who was spayed yesterday, I got to work.  

I have missed this!  Having someone else plan the fabric and the pattern and breaking it up into a little bit of work each month.... I really love it.   

I got the first block sewn.

I really hope I find time today to make block two.

Petting

This is the most exciting thing that has arrived in the mail in a long long time!  

I've been busy petting it, and shrieking.  I cannot wait to make blocks 1 and 2!  I might abandon my dinner making duties and ignore my family all evening so I can start on them!

Three Weeks Later

Finally!

Last night I got both of my apple rows completed (minus the white sashing, I need more white).

After I finished these, I pulled my scraps for the next row.  I sure don't have much in the way of reds.  Pulling fabrics for these apples was really tough.  I might need to get a fat quarter or two to get me through the rest of this project. 

Row Four... Still

I did not manage to get my rows done the other week.  

I was busy getting ready for a little trip (and cleaning up after a canine stomach bug that went through our pack).  Then last week was spent in The Sunshine State loving up on more potent sunshine, palm trees, green grass, flowers and Disney magic.

Now I'm back to reality, and I'm behind two weeks on my row along.  I have made some progress on the apples.  But Imagonnahavta get my hiney in gear because I hate being behind.
