And Then The Lights Went Out....

I was all set for the Friday Night Sew In.  I had my jammies on.  My plans for what to work on all set out.  I sat in my easy chair to do a little hand quilting before heading to my sewing room when there was a bang and a flash of light....then darkness.  The wind was so strong that it ripped down a power line.  All my plans gone up in darkness.  The power finally came back on around 1:00am. 

So I didn't get anything done last night but I did get a lot done yesterday.  I finished sewing the first 3 rows of my Thread Head Quilt-a-Long.  I also worked on a few more blocks for it.
I am really happy with the way it is turning out.

About 10 years ago I bought a quilted fabric check book cover.  Over the years it has gotten quite worn and the fabric is now shiny.  So I took this forlorn check book cover into my sewing room, took some measurements and made myself a new one.  I like the way it turned out.  I'm thinking of making some more for Christmas presents.  Oops...If my daughters read this pretend you didn't see this.  lol

I finally finished my little yellow Churn Dash Quilt I made for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.  Now I just have to get it sent in.  

My accomplishments have been many but there are many more to do.  Here is my last To-Do List:

1. Finish Quilting Wall Quilt (I'm half way there)
2. Keep up with current Quilt A Longs. 
3. Start Bunny Hill BOM (Finished Jan. and Feb. blocks)
4. Start Pat Sloan's Mystery Quilt.  (Started and finished first clue)

Now for this coming week's To-Do List:

1. Finish quilting my wall quilt.
2. Sandwich my Sunflower quilt and start hand quilting.
3. Make at least 10 more Log Cabin Bow Tie blocks.
4. Make more blocks for the Thread Head Quilt-a-Long quilt.
5. Work on Barbara Brackman CW blocks.

 Remember it is time to vote for the 2 color quilts at the Quilting Gallery (http://quiltinggallery.com/)  My quilt is called Persian Gates.  There are some beautiful quilts there.

Well I had better get busy.  Lots to do and places to go.  Hope you have a quilty day.
