Monday Meandering 11 - 23 - 2020

Last week I asked what have I been doing? Time seems to slip away without much of an imprint on me. The question is valid this week too.  I haven't done much that is photo worthy, well unless you think a photo of me lounging on the couch reading a book is photo worthy!  Let's start with the goals list.  Overall it looks pretty good.

11/16/2020

Finish  cutting and stabilizing T Shirts - audition sashing fabrics ✔️

Border baby quilt✔️

Continue purple basket ✔️ well I sewed some more strips on 

Quilt a charity quilt for local guild✔️

Vacuum studio floor; clean off surfaces ✔️ everything but surfaces... 

Cut more Easy Breezy blocks & Snowball blocks to use as leader/enders Does 1 count? 

Not too bad considering I didn't feel like I got that much done.

11/23/2020 

Quilt 2 more charity quilts

Quilt 1 of my quilts 

Order sashing fab for T shirt quilt

Finish cutting out Dalmatians quilt blocks and start sewing 

What wasn't on my goal list last week was cutting the fabrics for the Dalmatian quilt. I'm about half way through but it looks like I'm needing to add some fabrics. No problems with the black and whites but I sure don't have much left in the reds. I hope in the next day or two to make a sample block so I know it works. (I assume it does since the person who posted the pattern info had also made one, but it's better to be safe than sorry.) 

Here's the charity quilt I'll be starting on today: 

It's an interesting quilt but not my color choices.  It's ready to be quilted after I get the quilting design entered into the computer.  Maybe some time today I'll get it started. 

Linky parties today: Oh Scrap!, Monday Making, Design Wall Monday, and To Do Tuesday. (Hopefully I'll remember to return to link to this party.) 

Happy Thanksgiving

There's a sad tale of this cute turkey decoration...  Even though he was chained to the small tree he was vandalized.  All that was left was the chain and the legs.  This was pretty surprising since we live in an active senior development that has gates that are closed overnight. Maybe it was a mishap with a lawn mower rather than being vandalized.  

Happy Quilting All!   Bonnie 

It's Pumpkin Time

I'm making a big effort to get all my Halloween decorations up before the party on Sunday.  And, I've gone wild about pumpkins.

And then there are the ones I've made....

These may get moved around -- I need to figure out the table setting and before I can do that I need a new table cloth.  I'll be doing that today! 

I also made this cute tea light cover, Boo! I was never a fan of electric candles until I decided to make several of these cute covers.  Remember the spider mug rug?  This is from the same set. All of these designs are from Embroidery Garden.  The pumpkin face is a free file at Embroidery Garden using the Snowball set with orange fleece instead of white.  

Time to get on with the day.  I'll be out shopping for some more electric candles, a table cloth and maybe some new paper plates and napkins... The party may be up to 20 people which should be quite the squeeze in my little house! Of course I could fit most of them comfortably in the studio. 

I'm linking up with Can I Get A Whoop, Whoop?, Link a Finish Friday and Creative Goodness Linky Party, which isn't up yet.  I'll check back later today. 

Happy Quilting All!
