this week, i have tons of strips laid out on my dining table, ready for assembly as wonky stacked coins. that's project number one that's underway and in the way.
over the weekend, i found out i have a chance to hand deliver a baby quilt, to someone who lives across the country, next monday. i'm thinking of a strips quilt with three accent blocks and a monogram, like beth's project
here. can i get a simple baby quilt done in a week? i think so. maybe.
so that makes project number two that needs attention this week.

| sarah's strips - gosh, they're beautiful! |
and sarah's
barn door quilt along starts today! ack! i've been looking forward to making this quilt for over a month and the fabrics are all pulled. but how do i do it at the same time as these other urgent projects? this week features the seven middle strips. we'll see how i do.
oh, and then there's the four
wips on my living room floor that are always in the way!
why on earth am i on the computer right now?!
because i need to link up my
lovely finish goal of the month:
i
really want to get "paris daydreams" sandwich quilted and bound. that shouldn't be too difficult. once everything else is done, that is. oh, yes. christmas isn't the only time i go crazy.
That is a full week, but I know you can do it! I'm excited to see what you pulled for the Barn Door Quilt. I'm hoping to start mine tonight!
ReplyDeleteHaha that is quite a lot! Sure you can do it! Love the fabrics for the baby quilt x
ReplyDeleteThanks for talking up my work! I really do think you could catch up next week. I am almost done with my week 2 strips AND I had to do all the writing. And play with my new fabric shelf. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are busy!!! You've got some great projects laid out there. Just take a deep breathe, prioritize your projects, and push forward. You can do it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combos in those stacked coins! Oh yes, let the rush of the new year begin:)

Oh my goodness, that's a busy week you have ahead of you. But all such lovely projects. Which one are you going to start first? It's the barn door, isn't it???
ReplyDeleteE xx
Haha, Christmas isn't the only time I go crazy either!
ReplyDeleteWhatever I've done to somehow deserve the very kind things you've said on my "just thinking" post is exactly what I want to keep doing. Thank you so much for affirming me. I hope to live up to it! And, I think I need some really big blinders =)
Busy, busy...I'm trying to step away form quilting for a few days to give me some real down time, without pushing myself to do anything extra at all. We'll see, I may decide to pick it up again sooner. I also love the fabrics Sarah has chosen.
ReplyDeleteThank you from the bottom of my heart for the Christmas card Hydee!!!!! You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThe barn door QAL looks very interesting to piece:) Looking forward to seeing how it all goes together.
