Blocks of the Month

Well, I've done a few - I'm behind, but it's all good.

So, here is a few of my September committments:

Back to Nature Tonga for September - I will have October's Block this weekend

 Christmas Sampler, Section 9.

Dresden Fall Playground - I plan to make 3 a month (for about 9 months), but these turned out a LOT bigger than I expected, so I think I'm going to have to redesign my layout.  I LOVE these.  I have never done this technique before and it turned out beautifully.  The center to the large one isn't finished because I need to find a bigger circle shape to make it.

Working on some of October's BOMs as well this week....

Thursday stuff

I normally don't look forward to the weekend, I take each day as it comes.  Yet, I really need Saturday to hurry up and be here so I can get something done around my house.  It's hard keeping up with yourself some days and I'm falling behind on simple household tasks.

Well, took my funky shoes back and order the right size and got the style I really wanted- - -they should be ready for pick up on Monday.  Still excited - can't wait to have them in my hands and retake the picture!

Well, it took me two weeks, but I finally finished cutting all the dresden blades for my new dresden quilt.  There are 3 sizes of dresdens - this is the largest size.  Using LOTS of fall colors!  Unsure when I'll actually start sewing, but I think the cutting was the hardest part on this.  Granted it took me awhile to be inspired, but I learned some new things using EQ7 to design the top.

Yesterday I spent 2 hours non-stop and whipped out this apron for work:

Thanks to my eldest daughter, Bri for modeling it.  I need an apron now that I'm managing inventory at the shop here and being Halloween is my favorite theme (next to beachy) and fall starts in a week....perfect combination!

And finally, this is my new shop sampler I'm working on.  I'm not a Kaffe Fassett fan, but these look like fun to work with.  I have a feeling I might actually want this sample back.  I'm using a pattern from his new book that have diamonds in it....another first for me.

Is it Friday yet?  I want to just sit and sew!
