Wednesday already!

I'm not sure what happened to Monday and Tuesday but here we are at the mid point of the week. I stayed late at the office on Monday to finish some lesson preparation. It's much easier to do when everyone else has gone home and there is peace and quiet at last. It was 9 p.m. when I got home and by the dinner I'd eaten dinner I just sat and watched the TV for half an hour, to be exact I caught up with a vlog I follow. Over the last two days I've tried to check my storage space for projects that I haven't worked on for some time and I've forgotten about.

One of the projects I found was these small 9 patch blocks set on point. The squares for the 9 patch are one and a half inch square. I started it to use up small scraps and I love the way it looks. This would make a pretty baby quilt.  I need to decide the size I want the quilt to be so I can make the number of blocks I need. I have a lot of 1.5 in squares.

I started these bear paw blocks several years ago but decided I didn't want to make the whole quilt. I'll relook at the pattern and make a final decision. I do like the bear paw block.


I had also started making apple core blocks as they looked fun to make but I didn't enjoy it. However I have quite a few blocks and I want to use them up. Decisions, decisions!



I found the embroidered blocks I've stitched for the Jane Austen quilt. These are nearly finished.

and these really cute frogs to make a baby quilt. These really must be finished up.



I'm certain there are still some projects languishing elsewhere in the house but I think I've got enough to work on without finding more. The big question what to work on first.

Tomorrow I have work but Friday I'm off. First job of the day is to collect my machine. It will be great to have her back at home. Unfortunately we are away for the weekend so I'll have to wait until next week to have a good sewing day.

Right, time to pack up the computer and get to bed. I have an early start tomorrow.

Take care

Lyndsey

  1. You do have quite a few projects to choose from.
    Maybe pick the one that needs the least of work to finish.

  3. It's amazing what you find tucked away and forgotten. Mmm, there is no way I could work with 1.5in squares, I dont even like 2.5in square. Perhaps you could turn your apple core blocks into a small bag? And I remember you stitching the Jane Austen blocks, so pretty.

  4. Lot of cute projects in the works there. That should keep you busy for a while. I think I’ve seen those frog blocks at a quilt show. Barbara @ Cat Patches
