We woke up to this:
Sorry about picture I took it through a window.
This meant that DH had to get up, go plow, and salt the elderly aunt and uncle's drive, and porch next door.
What did I do this morning? I made my beautiful little sister a gift for her Birthday which was a couple of days ago.
http://www.noodle-head.com has a wonderful tutorial on how to make these bags, and she has multiple sizes too! Search for the: open wide zippered pouch: DIY Tutorial
Then I placed some of my favorite quilting tools inside that I had purchased her. Unfortunately it is too late to go to the post office so it will not be sent until Monday.
What am I going to do for the rest of my Saturday?
I have a country charmer block to make
jewel box block
Quilty Barn along block to make
The above are my weekly goals which I have left. I did finish two Farmer's Wife Blocks earlier:
And my big finish was my picnic quilt that is an ancient UFO!
Then there is:
the Hugs and Kisses QAL from Christa Quilts that I am working on
The Quiltmaker Magazine Lazy Sunday Mystery
City Streets Mystery from Quilter's Club of America
Final border for my Ginger Rose.
I really wanted to get my Easy Street sandwiched, but the quilting gods are working against me. Last night while DH and I were in Joann's to pick up fabric for the City Streets Mystery, a zipper and thread I looked for a King sized bat of Warm and White. There were none, not even any rolls. I can order it on line, but I can't use my 40% off coupon and free shipping doesn't really compute. Savings of over $21 with a coupon of $12 for free shipping. OK enough of my rant.
It is National Quilting Day today! Don't forget to check out Pigtales and Quilts for Saturday Sharing Day, and, do something quilty!
I just love how you always start your post out with an awesome shout out for the linky party. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to make one of those zippered pouches! I was off to the post office with orders from my website this morning but an unexpected visitor met me on the front steps as I opened the door to leave.... so I didn't make it either. There is always Monday. :)
WoW we are having temps of 75. Love the bag going to tutorial now.
