A day late, but there's a good reason for that. :-)

Quilting

• Mystery Quilt: (ignored) pieced the center of the top. Starting to think about the fiddly piecing that has to happen, though, and might wrap this one up soon. Still thinking about this, and want to get it moving again before the end of the month.
• The Boy's Quilt: (ignored)  I need to ( Read more... )

Two weeks! I was away on business--the one that pays for these hobbies--and so there was no update last week. Sadly, there was not but so much progress either. But some progress nonetheless!

One way in which I distract myself in times of stress is to craft. This week was stressful. So craft I have.

• Mystery Quilt: pieced the center of the top. I'm still over this piece, and have been ignoring the fiddly piecing that has to happen.
• Surprise Quilt not on the list! I've picked up the piecing for my son's quilt. If I keep this up ( Read more... )

This week I have no excuse.

Market week! It was exciting. This time people wanted dryer balls, and I sold half of THAT stock. This is a cool trend. At this point, I've covered the cost of the spot at the market. Yay! Once I have enough, the next purchase for the shop will be table(s) that fold in half, so I can put people in the car at the same ( Read more... )

You know how deadlines are never truly the end of something? Yeah, I'm climbing out from under that now. But I can see the other side, know I'm on it, and this weekend is Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival! I'll be there on Saturday, and the Boy is going with me. I figure he'll keep me from getting too crazy. And my list is short this year. But what ( Read more... )

This weekend was for doing All The Things. While Saturday was a busy morning, Sunday was packed with the MS Walk and another soccer game. Overall, the crafting quotient was low.

Quilting

• Mystery Quilt: Finished my homework, except for the yo-yos. But because my snowman is smirking, I think that's okay. He don't need no yo-yos. *grin* We got this ( Read more... )

This weekend was not for doing anything I should have been doing. It was the end of spring break! I even had off Monday. And did little I should have, and instead lazed and lounged around. It was wonderful.

Quilting

• Mystery Quilt: Did not finish my homework. And I'm running out of week. Aiiieee!
• My Quilt: No movement. August 2 block will happen ( Read more... )

This weekend was overrun with a fiber event where I bought a tee's worth of LIME GREEN with pattern and a skein of sock yarn and two batts of fiber and a spindle and a mess of cards and another LARGE quantity of fiber, or I'd have played homebody and gotten more done. As it is, here's where the crafting is now:

Quilting:

• Mystery quilt: Still haven't even cut out the pieces. That's happening tonight, as Sunday the quilting gang is getting together and we're banging this thing out. I need to check my colored threads and make sure I have the colors I want for the applique.
• My quilt: Hasn't moved. I'm still at the second August block, and it's still not ( Read more... )

Hi! The focus was on spinning and prepping for that demo, and it shows.

Quilting:

• Mystery quilt: Bit the bullet and replaced my sewing machine. It arrived yesterday, and I'm playing with the fancy-dance stitches. It turns out that the model is the same one my quilting friends have, so we're all learning together.
• My quilt: I'm up to the second ( Read more... )
