Drop and Give me Twenty- Last Week

I've done really well this week I don't think I missed one day.  I spent some time pulling fabric for some projects and going through others.  I worked on my bee block.  I haven't produced a lot this month, but I'm making progress (that's what happens when you ricochet of things).  I only have the binding left on my baby tardis quilt.  That's pretty exciting.  Not a bad month all in all.

Drop and Give Me 20--Week Three

Or Part of the week at least
I did pretty well this time around:
Wednesday: I did work on the pillow though I wasn't able to finish.
Thursday:  Quilted Tardis baby quilt (almost done!)
Friday:  Marked Purple baby quilt--thinking it's too small and I need to do something about that.
Saturday: Worked on pillow some more and spent some time looking for tardis quilt binding fabric.  I also did some shifting around/playing in my studio.
Sunday: seam ripped trees, sorted and got materials together to make squares, Marked dolls for cutting out

Not too bad.

Week 2

I should just drop out completely, because I keep missing days.  I'm far enough behind I can't remember what I did, but I missed Thursday, Friday AND Sunday!

This week so far:
Monday:  Cutting for various projects:  quilt backings for 3 quilts, pettiskirt top, pillow.
Tuesday:  Missed!
Wednesday:  That's today I'm going to sew that pillow together.  RIGHT NOW!

I'm going to keep plugging away though and maybe I'll get back on track.

Two Flimsy's 


I finished two flimsy's!  I know that's not a real finish, but I'm excited to be this far along.

The first is a block of the month that I did with one of the local quilt shop's here.  I didn't like how they finished it so I made up my own and I really love how it turned out!  

Elephants!



The second is Mowg's Primary Bee quilt. 
 I had a little adjusting to do in places, but I'm pleased with how it turned out too.

Mowg's Primary Bee Quilt



Now off to make more dents in that list!

What I've been up to lately

Watching plants grow

In honor of my Mother-in-law (the first person I knew to have grown an amaryllis into it's full bloom)
I purchased an amaryllis in the after Christmas sales.

  I think it looks like a heart.

 

Opening


We did a small planting of window pots as well and they're growing.
I'll post pictures of their progress soon.  It's very satisfying to have green in winter.


I spend a great deal of time with this busy bee...butterfly



Speaking of bee's I made a second bee block for the Stash Bee
I really love how it turned out.


As you can see in my previous two posts I have big plans for the next little while.

Until Then
