Well, almost two finishes... I finished the woven scrappy strip quilt top except for the borders... I need to measure the top ( since it's larger than the pattern on one side) before I can add them..
And I finished the last Flurry Friends block of the week... now, to add sashing and stitch them all together.
Friday and Saturday were sew in at the library days... with hubby having dr. appt in the late morning Friday and then our stopping for lunch after, it was a little after two by the time I got to the library and people were soon packing up for the day. I didn't want to stay there by myself, so I left everything there ( not even unpacked yet) and came home to finish applique'ing the last Flurry Friend.
Saturday, I arrived a little after 10, I think... and set up a table so I could start sewing... I had such big plans for working on several things while there... "the best laid plans of mice and men...." yeah, I didn't get even one finished... did get part of one finished... no photo at this point... just 14 2.5" strips sewn together.. First I needed to sew two strips together and then trim to 66.5", then I was able to stitch those together into one 66.5" x 32.5" piece... actually, I was only supposed to sew 13 strips - somehow I miscounted, but I'm not going to worry about it... it just means that it will be 2.5" taller in the center of the back. I don't remember if I shared my plans for this or not...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8_XvvkKjyM. I'm making it for the wife of one of the Gospel trio that I made quilts for a year ago. She battled cancer for a couple of years and thought it had turned it's tail and ran in defeat... but, apparently, it finished licking it's wounds and came back & attacked her with full force. I hope to get the 'hug' completed this week so that I can get it sent off to her.
Then, the next couple projects will be Christmas gifts... No more starting new projects until these are done. And, on that note, I'm outta here...
take care....
ttyl...
