BLOG SLUMP......

 Hi everyone,

I've been having a slump in blogging...didn't quite feel myself for a couple weeks...but I've got back on track.  I've got a few new things to share...so here goes.

First is a biggy to me...I FINALLY got Zoe's Quilt done and it went home with her yesterday...she was visiting last week.

This was my August OMG project...didn't quite make it...but it was close.  Speaking about OMG...my September goal is the Valentine Quilt..it's tied and I've started the binding.

I also got all my Crazy Quilt blocks for August done, the color was purple, they have all been embellished.  My grandson saw this block and said the yellow one at the bottom looks like Sponge Bob...I have to agree with him, it was just a lucky mistake this looks like Sponge Bob.

The new color for RSC 2020...September, is Red...so I pulled all my red scraps out and a few extra reds to add to the mix...I'll start working on them today.

So I've got something to keep me busy  for awhile...hope everyone has an awesome....

I'm linking up with:

WHAT TO DO????

On to this week's To-Do Tuesday list....

August 4th through August 10th

1. Zoe's Quilt
2. Pull fabric for Zoe's Quilt binding.✔
3. Work on Valentine Quilt✔
4. Cut some raindrop fabric for borders on Umbrella Quilt

1.  about Zoe's quilt....I seem to have lost my mojo for getting this quilt done...ummm....

2.  Got the fabric pulled for Zoe's Quilt binding..I'm going with black...I think it will set the colors in the quilt really good.

3. Got the Valentine quilt on the cutting table and sandwiched...it's awaiting it's turn on the hoop to be tied.

 

4. Didn't get the raindrop fabric cut...I had company all week..so my sewing schedule got  all messed up...I had 5 teenagers visiting this past week...I wouldn't recommend that to anyone..by the time they all left I was ready to pull out my hair!!!   So there wasn't too much sewing done this week.  I did get a few more umbrella's done.

Sharon over at Pintangle hosts TAST every Tuesday...it's a chance to learn new embroidery stitches......this week it's the Lock Stitch.  Here's mine...it's a bit wonky, but I like it.

 .I use these on my Crazy Quilt blocks.  I'm using these for the RSC 2020 Challenge.

UFO'S...WE ALL HAVE THEM.....

I have lots of them!!  I've been trying to get some of them done this year.  So far I've got 5 of them done...
4th of July Quilt, ABC Quilt, Easter Quilt, Happy Scrappy Quilt, and Spring Quilt.  The thing that helped me get these done is a UFO Challenge...I was blog hopping one day and ran across Dreamworthy Quilts...Ann has a UFO challenge going on over at her place.....the Number Draw UFO Challenge....want to know more about this...just click on the link. 
My Number Draw for July is Zoe's Quilt....

sorry to say I didn't get it done.  It was so blasted hot in July...high 80's and 90's with high humidity...toooo hot to have a quilt laying on my lap.  But I'm still plugging away at it...hoping to get it tied at least in the next couple days...the binding may have to wait...we'll see.

The August number for the UFO challenge is number 7 on my list...but I've already done number 7...the Easter Quilt

So I've bumped another quilt up to # 7....my UFO for August is the Valentine Quilt

the top is done, just needs sandwiched, tied and binding put on.  This is another small quilt...so it shouldn't take too long to finish....just have to get in the mood to drag out the cutting table and walk around it a gazzillion times....I may also put the Boo Quilt together while I have the cutting table out.  It's also a small quilt.

Hope everyone has an awesome.....
