I LIKE......

 the way the sun shines on the trees...some have lost all their leaves and some are still turning colors.


 

The guys brought us 2 loads of wood this morning....we've ordered 5 loads...so 3 more to go.

Yesterday was a productive day for me....I got the Umbrella and Crazy quilt sandwiched...they both need to be tied and bond.


And I finished the embroidery of a block for my Fall Sampler...excuse the poor picture quality.

I've been watching The Crown on Netflix...really good show...

And I'm still reading Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.  It's not going too fast...I can't seem to get into reading this book.  I may not finish it.

QUILTING, QUILTING AND MORE QUILTING....

 Today is Tuesday...so that means my To-Do Tuesday list is ready to post...my list from last week.


1. Organize the project table.✔

2. Finish embellishing the RSC blocks.

3. Work on Cat/Mouse blocks.✔

I got 2 of three done this week.  I didn't finish the embellishing of the RSC blocks..I got 2 of them done.  I need to put some beads on the second one and it will be done.


I put the features on the pink mouse.

And my project table got cleaned off, well except for the dust...I forgot that part.  And organized into ziploc bags.

So it wasn't a bad week....but I think I should have done better...but the way I've been feeling I consider this a WIN for me!  What's up for next week's To-Do List...

October 20th through October 27

1. Finish the Crazy Quilt blocks.

2. Finish the embroidery for the Fall Sampler.

3. Clean my desk from top to bottom...it's really messy at the moment.

And over at Pintangle, it's TAST Tuesday...the stitch this week is Fancy Herringbone Stitch.  Hop over to Sharon's place and check out the stitch this week.

Well that's my week so far.  Hope you all...

I'M WORKING ON.....

 several projects as usual...I've been doing some embroidery...I really like doing embroidery...if I had to choose between quilting and embroidery...well....I couldn't...I love them both.

I've been working on a piece for my Fall Sampler...

And I have one picked out for my Christmas Sampler...haven't started this one yet...but it will be next..hopefully you can see what it is...the picture didn't come out very good.  I also got a snowman done for my sampler...


I've also been working on my RSC 2020 blocks...I'm making Crazy Quilt blocks for this one...the color for October is yellow...here is block 1 almost done...just some more embroidery to do on the red corner.

Well, that's it for now...what have your been working on...head over and to Love Laugh Quilt for Monday Making to see what everyone is working on.

Have an awesome......

GUESS WHAT I FOUND????

 As part of my 100 Goals, I listed cleaning off my project table...this is what it looked like...

So I spent the morning yesterday doing that...I can say the table is cleaned off, well except for the dust...I forgot that.  And all my projects are in a pretty box in baggies and labeled.



And here is my new projects box...

While I was cleaning the table off, I found enough Crazy Quilt blocks to make another quilt top.  So now I have two Crazy Quilts to work on.

I also found some teapots and cups that I'd made a few years ago...

So I think I have a few projects to keep me busy...now all I need is...to get out of this quilting slump...I've got 2 quilts to put together and not in the mood to do that.  Oh well, they will be there when I'm ready.  Hope you all have a wonderful....

I'VE BEEN STUCK......

 trying to figure out what I'm doing...plus I haven't been feeling well this past week...what I call the "just don't feel like myself" weeks.  I've been jumping all over the place on my projects...I think the problem is, I've got waaaay to many things going on.  My mind just doesn't know what to pick up and work on.  And my little table I use to put my projects on is so dis-organized I can't find anything I WANT to work on.  So starting today the projects are getting organized, into gallon size zip lock baggies and labeled.  

I missed To-Do Tuesday last week...so I guess I'll make a new list of To-Do's.

October 13th  though October 19th

1. Organize the project table.

2. Finish embellishing the RSC blocks.

3. Work on Cat/Mouse blocks.

I did manage to finish the Pumpkin block of my Fall Sampler...and started the Christmas Sampler.


 No luck getting the Umbrella and Crazy Quilt together.  At this stage of my confusion, it seems to be bigger than Mt Everest.  


 

So these two quilts may go into November...we'll see what happens.

 And over at Pintangle it's TAST(Take a Stitch Tuesday).....what is the new stitch this week...Woven Cross Stitch...head over and check this out.

Well, that's it for today...hope you all....

EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE......

 weeks when your just not in the mood to blog?  This was my week last week.  I couldn't seem to find anything to blog about.    The Umbrella  and Crazy Quilts are still waiting to be sandwiched...still working on several projects.  One being my RSC 2020 blocks.  Yellow is the color for October...I've got 2 I'm working on embellishing.  This one is not finished yet...I couldn't figure out what to put in the empty spaces....where the sunflowers, pink stripes and the blue one.  So I've put it aside for now and moved on to another one.

This one was a lot easier to figure out.  I'll be adding some buttons and flowers to this one.

I finally got the lines on the pumpkin for my Fall Sampler.

And as if I need something else to work on...I've started a new project.  For years I've wanted to make a quilt of all the embroidery stitches I've learned over the years, these are stitches I've learned while doing TAST(Take a Stitch Tuesday) over at Sharon's place, Pintangle.  So I started one this past week. The first stitch I learned was the Buttonhole Stitch.

The next stitch is the Fly Stitch.

Even using a ruler, the line is still not straight....as I always say..."I can't draw a straight line with a ruler."  Maybe my ruler isn't straight...ha ha  Which is possible, believe it or not but I have a pair of scissors that doesn't cut straight.  Well I guess that's it for now...hope you all a wonderful stitching...

HI....

 Nothing new to report...making progress on the Fall Sampler...pictures later.  My quilt batting came today...so hopefully I'll get the umbrella quilt sandwiched soon.  


 I'm also using the Umbrella Quilt as my OMG for October.  Hopefully it won't take long to get  this together.  I'm also doing the UFO Number Draw Challenge over at Dreamworthly Quilts...the number this month is 5....number 5 on my list is my 12" Crazy Quilt.  So I'll also be working on that one this month. 

Since it's Thursday for another 3 1/2 hours...I'm going to include some likes  for I Like Thursday...this is going on over at Not Afraid of Color...

I like a new to me t.v. show I've been watching on Netflix...Designated Survivor with Keifer Sutherland ...it's really suspenseful....


On Hulu, I've been watching Homicide Hunter...really good show.  The show is based on the files of Joe Kenda...


Well I guess that's it for today...hope you all have a wonderful.....
