Needless to say I should be doing hand work as I watch but that will wait for the game tonight. Here's a few things I've been working on recently.
These blocks are going to New Zealand where one of the members of FCQ EQuilters lives. We are all former members of Faithful Circle Quilters in Maryland. We each choose a block and the other gals make some and send them to us during our two month time. I love making the blocks but, honestly, I don't need any more blocks. We've been adding members so we don't get blocks every year now. I tend to keep mine for a while before I make them into quilts. A lot of the blocks end up in quilts for charities. With the bigger group I don't have to make lots of additional blocks to get these quilts done.
Cassie came to spend the New Year's holiday with us as Kevin and Aimee and the kids were off to the beach in Delaware.
On to my weekly goal lists. I didn't do all that well on getting things done last week.

Too cold to do anything outside today, so I'm tidying my sewing room and preparing fabric to cut a quilt kit.
ReplyDeleteShoveled 6" of new snow this morning off the driveway and walk. That's 13" of snow since Christmas Day. At least I've had some exercise the last week.
Sorry I have to cheer for Penn State! You have a lot of goals, but I know that you will get most done...you always do!
ReplyDeleteI have the 12 inch cube Go and wish I would have gotten the 9 inch as I think I would have used them more but I am finding some uses for them
ReplyDeleteThose are great blocks you have there. I know what it's like to take on clearing up. I've been working on my sewing space because I got my husband to give me a long shelf...but I had to stop to get some sewing in or I would have gone crazy.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks and oh my your header....the quilt to match the tree :)
ReplyDeleteI watched it too!! My mom grew up down there and was in it once!! Yay!! LOVE your blocks -and your list - you can do it!
ReplyDeleteWho is the pretty black dog? Looks much like my dearly departed Millie.

That's Kona, our dog, via our daughter. She's lived with us the last 5 years or so. Very shy girl.
DeleteI completely spaced off the Rose Parade this year. DT and I usually watch it together. Good luck with your goals this week, hope you have lots of time for stitching.
