Remember how last week was so productive? Yeah, this week not so much! Well, not on the sewing front anyway, I had a rush flat deep clean over the weekend for the surveyor coming on Monday (which I only found about on the Friday!) however since that ended, I’ve been in a rather zen-like state, as it feels like there’s nothing else I can do to help that area, and I’m relatively on top of everything else except those moo cards… Oh, and hayfever has been kicking my arse this week – ugh!
Finishes This Week:
Piece Bee With You block – this was ‘our favourite’ which I think cost me a few brain cells trying to work out what to do!
Sew Bee Joyful block – a bookshelf, except I decided to be smart and do a leaning one at the end, and didn’t have quite enough grey to make it work in one piece above, however, I conquered it in the end!
FQR prep for EPP class – I’ve got all my templates and fabric cut and bagged now
In Progress This Week:
FQR prep for Portholes class – I’ve cut my sheet of greyboard down, and I’ve ordered fabric for the class (this involved more head scratching, but I hope what I’ve gone for will give you a bit of a giggle anyway)
Tutorial for Julie
To Be Worked On This Week:
Tutorial for Julie – This is my top priority, and will hopefully be done by the end of the weekend.
FQR prep for Portholes class – I just need to cut my calico down for this
FQR prep for Freezer Paper Piecing Class – I need to dumpster dive sort through my scraps to find suitable thread spools and wee houses, plus need to chop off a few bits of freezer paper from the roll
Ruler Tote – this may be a tad optimistic, but if I can I’d like to put together a ruler tote – I have a pattern written up, and have the fabric needed, I just need to find time before the retreat
Now, see, that list to be worked on looks reasonable, right? Did I mention that my parents are up this weekend and that I have a class Sunday afternoon, plus a couple of exercise classes after work with a friend? Still look achievable?! We’ll see…
That bookshelf block is one of my faves!!
Okay… the rare bit of sun has frazzled my brain cells… wots the big white thing in the block?!! A chefs hat???
Great bookshelf, hope the hayfever dies down a bit soon. xxx
Sarah, it's definitely a chef's hat!
Good luck with all that!
Look at you quilting and stuff! I heard a rumor you might be at Sewing Summit is that true?
with all you accomplished last week you deserved to take it easy this week! xo
I really like the bookshelf – gave me inspiration for a cushion cover for a 'bookie' friend. Thanks.
Okay, so you didn't get a lot of sewing done, what you did do is impressive enough and a clean flat to boot!?! What more could you want? Besides, knowing how you do things you'll get twice as much done this coming week to make up for you slacking. ;o}
I like the bookshelf block a lot! Those moo cards too some time too. 😉
Great blocks! I LOVE the chef's hat!
I really, really, really like your bookshelf block. Looking fab!
I love both your blocks! I haven't unfolded my Sew Bee block for this month yet… I hope I didn't get one packages that's short of background fabric! >_<
