Slow Progress



So, the Weather was a bit wet today and the wind was nasty but that sky, on the way to work this morning, was almost worth getting up and out of the house for...

I have been making good progress on my goal of 15 minutes to sew.  I knew I would not make it every day but each of those little pink hearts means I spent some time at one of my multiple sewing stations, or I cut out blocks, or I did some hand stitching of a binding.  So, even though I am easily distracted and work on a bunch of different projects rather than following one through to done, I am still making some progress.  I hope to get some rows sewn together tomorrow and some bindings sewn on, that is AFTER I CLEAN MY IRON!!!

This is my 3rd block for January.  No, its not sewn together yet because, earlier this week, my husband changed his mind just after I started working and we watched a show instead. 

This is my play block for the week after picking up a copy of the current Quilter's World.  I have been wanting to make another quilt out of my strings for awhile now and felt inspired when I saw the quilt with the diamonds.  I did not follow the pattern for this block but went off the basic idea.  Not sure if this will continue on to a complete quilt or not.  And, while playing, I discovered that I don't have as many strings as I thought.  I think I would rather focus on projects that need to be finished- but that is so hard for me to do...

Hopefully, by the end of the long weekend, I will have some flimsies and some quilting progress to show you.  Also want to squeeze in 2 runs.  But, one of the major priorities is taking down the outside Christmas lights.  Its been so cold and the weather so yucky that it hasn't been done yet.  Happy Stitching!
