Weekend Wrap Up

Another weekend in the books.  It was a good one though. 

Friday:

I made a few block for the Modern Half Square Triangle Quilt-a-Long.  I believe these are blocks 15 - 18.

Then I did the February blocks for the Country Threads Sampler:

Saturday:

I went to the open sew at Quilt by Phyllis and had a blast.  I met up with my Lazy Sunday partner, Mary, there and we worked on that.  I also completed the heart wall hanging I was going to make out of the extra blocks of the table runner I made last weekend.  I failed to take a picture of that though.  I managed to get all 148 of my Unit Bs done for Lazy Sunday too.

Sunday:

I didn't get much sewing done today.  I was plagued with a sinus headache most of the day.  I watched Quilt Cam while I cleaned my bathroom!  LOL  Later I did slip upstairs to the sewing room and worked on my Spinning Stars table topper.

I hope to work on the borders Tuesday night during Quilt Cam.

Oh .... and I did buy fabric for yet another quilt Saturday .... one of the hazards of sewing all day in a Quilt Shop!   But it's a risk I'm willing to take!

Have a good week everyone!

Easy Street Progress

Easy Street is turning in to Frustrating Street for me.  LOL The pile of blocks just doesn't seem to be getting smaller.  I swear they are reproducing while I'm asleep!

Un-Sewing

My day started off ripping.  I hate ripping.  I laid out the blocks to sew the next row and noticed that I had flipped some geese the wrong direction on one of the blocks.  I was going to just leave it, but I couldn't stand it and decided to make it right.  Anyway, I finally got the next row sewed together:


Row 3

I was feeling a little frustrated because I kept making mistakes. So I thought maybe a little break was in order.  I decided to put together the blocks for January for the Country Threads Sampler Quilt-a-Long:

The directions had us using rectangles and squares to make the geese, but I pulled out my handy Easy Angle Ruler and went to town.  Bonnie's influence is showing through!!

Then I put together two more blocks for the Modern Half Square Triangle Quilt-a-Long:

Block 7

 
Block 8

Then I went back to Easy Street.  I assembled the other corner then called it quits for the day:


Today's Progress

Baby steps .... I'll add the link to Bonnie's Link up HERE tomorrow.

And I can't resist posting a couple pictures my Hubby snapped of our Feline Children checking out my Easy Street progress:

That's it for this week probably.  I'm back to working 10-hour days tomorrow.
