Almost 3 Weeks Later

Still too busy at work, so not a whole lot of progress on anything. Work is really busy and I am getting home later than I would like. We did hire on one tech, we have a temp we are training, and my supervisor should be back on Monday.  Hopefully, I can start working 8 hour days instead of 10-12.

I did get the labels on two quilts, which equals 2 finishes posted to the Queen of UFOs group.  I got the backing made for 2 more quilts. I hope to get one quilted this weekend. I really need to get one done before I head to visit my new grandson at the beginning of August. He will be 6 months old by the time I get to meet him. I need to have his quilt done before I go.  I actually found the perfect E2E to use on it. I just have to remember how to import it into Quilt Path.

I am planning a couple of Relief Society Activities that will be English Paper piecing. I learned from a blog that PaperPeices.com will send you free samples to learn EPP. I went to the web site and requested 16 samples. They didn't even ask what for.  I found some really cute ornament patterns at PaperPieces.com. I hope to get the women on board with making them for table favors for the Branch Christmas party.

I did start stitching the blocks for my granddaughter, Izora's, quilt.  I am doing the same pattern for her that I did for her 2 older sisters, Ribbon Dance by Missouri Star.  I also used a 1930's print similar to her sisters' quilts. So all of their quilts are coordinated.  I got all of the HST's done. Now I am trimming them up before I assemble the blocks.

Perigrine found another tub of fabric a few weeks ago.  A good deal of it was scraps. So I have been sorting and trimming scraps. Which fits into my Declutter challenge group. I do find cutting fabric to be very relaxing, which gets me in the right frame of mind for work.  I am still trying to do my morning routine. Finding that bin did get me to thinking. I don't see some fabric that I remember having. I think there is another bin hiding somewhere, if not two.  I have a lot of fabric.  I really need to be sewing from my stash.

Have you looked at your stash lately? Are you sewing from it? What are you working on?
