Here is an update on the progress I made while the 9K was in the shop.
- DONE: 6 baby blankets: two colleagues and one person I want to impress are having babies: 2 each
: I made all the blankets I set out to make and then I found out that another friend was having a baby, so I made an additional two as well. I didn’t have the 9K as mentioned, so I just used a zigzag to hem the blankets. Not the way I normally like to work, but I wanted to get them done.
- DONE: Binding for Sharon’s quilt.
– I made the binding and sewed it on and am almost finished with hand stitching it to the back of the quilt. The sleeve is also made, but does need to be applied.
- Binding for Serendipity Puzzle -I made the binding, but am waiting to finish Sharon’s quilt before I apply it. The sleeve is also made.
- Gift bags: I have lots of fabric for bags, and Christmas is coming. Not done.
- Cut out fabric for test blocks. I am going to start looking at new machines soon and I want to have some piecing in my own fabrics, which I can use to test the machines. Not done.
- DONE: Wash and press new fabric.
– The Fabric Queen did this for me.
- DONE: Replenish Pineapple strips
– This is partially done. I cut some last week as I worked on the most recent Pineapples.
Well – I see progress, good for you! I think sometimes it’s easier to be forced to change a routine – but I’m sure you will be glad to have the 9k back.
My table finally go to the point where I couldn’t balance another thing on it. I just didn’t know where to put all the books and magazines! But I think I have found a spot for them, and right now there is almost 50% of a clean tabletop! Whoo Hoo! Yeah for us!
Yes, definite progress. I am going to watch the football game tonight, so I may get the rest of the binding on one quilt and the sleeve as well, if I am lucky and fast.
I have some time off over the holidays and it looks like our stuff won’t be out of storage again, so I’ll have to make gift bags. I’ll do a marathon one day when I am off.
In terms of organization, I am kind of stuck. We can’t move forward until the room down is done. Lots of stuff is waiting for that. That is stopped, because the floor is buckling (yes, the new floor) and DH is taking an exam the week after next, so he is working on the cabinets.
There is a great German word. It is “immerhin”, which means ‘ever closer’ …. sort of.
So, immerhin!
