And...More Snow Days.

To make sure I got some sewing in this weekend, I sat down and pieced these blocks at suppertime last night...

Here they are with stitchery block 5...

The pinwheel block and the martha washington star block are 6.5 inch blocks...talk about a lot of seams in that star one!  WOW!  It's not difficult, though...just lots of seams in a small area. 

I am now about 1/3 of the way finished with the outer border blocks!  Trying not to look ahead, but to take it one step at a time.  There are a gazillion blocks to piece for the center of the quilt and if I took the time to think about them...well, I think I would be very much overwhelmed.

I did not sew or knit or anything today...was busy with some cleaning and moving around of furniture.  Trying to fit lots of stuff in a small space is a constant challenge.  You know what I'm saying, right?  So, I rearranged and reorganized a few things to make it look less cluttered in here.  It helps my mind to not be so cluttered when my stuff is more organized.  But, when I am working on more than one project at a time, I tend to not put things away.  Which, then, causes clutter.  Lots of it.  So.  Eventually it gets to me and I need to do something about it.  Got all that?  ~grin~   

For your viewing pleasure, here is sleeping Kisa...

No photos of Tag today.  Sorry.  (and the only reason you got this photo of Kisa is because she was laying right next to me...I quickly snapped the photo just to put in this post. ~grin~)

Have a Blessed Easter!

Keeping Busy...

I kept myself busy yesterday.

I finished cutting out all of the

solid pieces for the Poppy quilt.

I was able to get 7 blocks put together.

Well, to be more accurate,

I sewed 7 centers for the Rubik's blocks.

I still need to add solid fabric around these

pieces to make them measure 12.5 inches square.   

While watching the Academy Awards,

I finished block 5 Granny Square

for my hand-pieced quiltalong.

Although I am enjoying the hand sewing,

I am happy that this is a small quilt. 

That's all for now...

have a good day!

Snow Days and Wonky Stars...

I've been working my fingers to the bone.

Okay, not really.
But, here's what I have been up to.

The 'Snow Days' block 5 is finally finished.

whew.

The design area measures about 10 x 18 inches,

which is much larger than any of the previous blocks.

It seemed to take forever to do.

able to see the details of this stitchery)

 And, this is where I am on my doll quilt swap quilt.

Right now, it measures 12.5 inches square.

I need to add a border or two, yet.

Little wonky stars...aren't they cute?

I am very happy with how this is looking.

I sure hope my partner will be happy with it.

I'm hoping to get the doll quilt
and a few other things
finished up before next Monday

so I can begin our 

'Christmas in August'

right on time.

(mentioned previously here)

I only have 3 days left, though.
