September 27th Post

Lone star quilt quilted and ready for binding. October calendar block in progress. I guess that's a start. I want to finish up some of these projects so I can start on some Christmas stuff. This Santa has a list.......

September 19th Weekly Post

I didn't get much done last week, but I am determined to finish SOMETHING this week. I did start on my October calendar block. I am hand quilting a star quilt for my sister and have only two more side triangles left to quilt. I also worked on fabric postcards for the exchange I am in. Hopefully I'll get them all done this week. I'm still working on sorting my stash and my scraps. I have far too much fabric for one person to ever use in a lifetime. Thankfully, I have a quilting daughter who helps use it up. LOL. Sammie made a really beautiful baby star quilt last week. She pieced, hand quilted it and is working on sewing the binding down.

I made apple butter last week. I harvested about 20 bushels of apples from my two apple trees. I gave some away, made apple crisp, apple pie, apple cake, froze apples and them made apple butter. I still have about 4 bushels left. I need to buy more jelly jars before I can make more apple butter. Lot of people are going to get apple butter for Christmas. LOL.

This Week's Post

Well, last week I finished a project. I finished my September calendar block. I worked on my 30's quilt. I unsewed the star background for Mom's "Indian" wall hanging. This week I am determined to finish the 30's quilt top. I have everything ready for a quillow. I need to layer it and put it together. I plan to do that tonight. I am going to work on X-Mas gifts starting this week. Fall weather puts me in the mood for sewing.

My Week......

I can't believe it is already September 1st. Last week was really busy, we registered students for the Fall Semester and had Graduation on Friday. It was also Rosebud Sioux Tribal Fair. I didn't get to go because it was too hot and windy, which makes my allergies act up. I have to stay close to my nebulizer when the weather is like that.

I finished piecing my September calendar block, worked on the '30's Churn Dash and cut out a wallhanging that my mom wants for her cousin who is here visiting from California. She wants it done by the 5th. Hopefully I will get it done.

I just simply haven't had time for sewing this week.
