Six weeks later....

Maybe it's been longer than that, I didn't check... too long anyway.
 These are things that I've just done recently... I did do some projects in Sept but either I didn't take pics or I just didn't see them in my file.
 The Zebra was in a bin waiting to be done up so I grabbed my Kaffe Fassett charm pack (that I don't know why I bought) and went to town... liked it so much that I ordered two more of the charm packs so that I could do the other zebra and the second one because the price was so good that I couldn't say "no". 
I went downtown to my favorite lqs and found purple fabric that I'll use for the borders of the zebra blocks and, since I was there ... and had an extra charm pack, I bought two yards of the purple - one for the zebras and one for this bag lining and handles
Now, I just need to do the second zebra and get the borders on so that I can quilt them.

This past week I have been working at catching up with my BOMs.  Monday I finished a bear but either I didn't take a pic or I lost the pic... I THOUGHT I had taken a pic... oh well, ... here's the second one for this week....
 and here are the two that I did yesterday....  all caught up!!


Then it was on to my fatcatpatterns.com "Gnome for the Holidays" BOM to get caught up... only behind on the Sept one and hadn't started the Oct one yet either.   This first one is the Sept one
 and this is the Oct. one...


I was going to check to see how many blocks are left, but I forgot... it seems like there should only be the Nov. block so that those who were/are more ambitious than I am, can get it done in time for Christmas.
  
And, just to show that not everything was BOM catch up... this was another project that was 'aging' in a plastic tub...  It was a 'sew a long' from earlier in the year - I bought the fabrics but never got around to actually cutting fabrics and sewing until the end of Sept.  Pretty simple one to do... lots of practice doing 1/2 square triangles.
Tomorrow, I'll start catching up on my RSCs that I'm behind on... only two months to do --  laughing to myself right now because I chose fabrics for them just before fixing dinner tonight... I need a dark blue for one month - I found some Y2000 print!!  more than enough to do four foxes, I'm pretty sure....  just have to chuckle at the idea of some of my foxes with the year 2000 stamped on their faces lol.
The other month needs a dark green... I managed to find some I think I'll be happy with.

Get the foxes done and then maybe I'll feel up to tackling that Christmas quilt that was more than half quilted when I realized there was a major tension issue going on underneath and I decided to stop, pull out the stitches and start over again.  The stitching has been out for about three weeks, but I haven't felt up to standing at Mo'e and trying to adjust his tension.


Ok, that's it for me tonight...
