Share Your Goodwill Quilts: July 2010

Saturday, July 31, 2010

HI HO, HI HO, it's off to work we go...

Nato has the most retarded work schedule ever, today. He had to be at work from 8:30am -11:30am. Then he had to go back to work at 2pm and work until 10pm.

RIDICULOUS!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyways...done ranting......where was I?????

Oh, yeah!!

I am gonna sew another row to Hannah & Jason's quilt, then work on Meme's, cause her quilt top is almost done, and her pieces are already all cut out.

We'll see what I get done from there, cause tonight is Uncle Larry's b-day party, and I'm going w/ the kids.

After all...

I'm not very happy w/ myself today.

I had 5 projects I wanted to get at least SOME work done on, and I ended up only working on Hannah & Jason's.

Instead of working on the others in the afternoon, evening, & night, I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead.

So, for the rest of the weekend, these projects are my plan:

My 1st quilt (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-my-first-ever-quilt),

Hannah & Jason's wedding quilt (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-hannah-jasons-wedding-quilt),

Meme's quilt (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-memes-monstrous-quilt),

Wedding Road to Ireland (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-wedding-road-to-ireland),

and Nato's quilt (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-natos-geek-quilt)

We'll see how much work I end up getting done, and I will post again @ the weekend's end.

Today's To-Do

An update for 1st quilt!

This is what I've accomplished over the last few days.

I still have quite a bit to go as it is obviously still small, and I want it to be queen-sized.

Nato's first FNSI!!

While I was working on my first quilt, Nato was working on Michelle's quilt.

We only have to add horizontal sashing to a few more rows, then the top will be finished.

Saturday, July 24, 2010

Last night was my first official FNSI that I've been a part of. Nato, my husband, joined me and we stayed up until 3 am working on various projects including Michelle's quilt (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-michelles-quilt)

and my first ever quilt that I had started in June 2008.

I finally started adding more to my first quilt last night. I have collected a wide range of different colored and textured fabrics for this quilt.

Here it is so far...

Fastest quilt I have EVER made!!

I also made an entire baby quilt similar to Allissa's (http://modernroots.com/p/quilting-first-quilt-made-by-nato), but longer.

I started choosing fabrics, measuring & cutting @ 6:30am, and had the quilt completely finished by 9:58am.
