Weekly Progress and Goals

    What a wonderful week.  Our weather has been cool in the mornings but warming enough later to enjoy being outdoors and I did.  I also stayed busy inside sewing and quilting.

How I did this past week:

1. Work in the yard: rake pine straw and reset some bearded iris. Done

I did get a couple of areas of bearded iris reset and started raking pine straw. I spent most of my yard time picking up sticks and pinecones and then collecting oak leaves off the lawn for my compost pile.

2. Quilt a comfort quilt. Done

I finished the quilting and the person binding has finished so it is ready to gift.

3. Finish placemats for a housewarming gift. Done

They are even wrapped and ready to give.

Photos of the finishes are on Friday's post.

     After finishing projects, I pulled out a couple of UFOs to work on. I pieced crumb strips to insert into “Fiddlesticks” blocks. My strips are wider than Mary's of Zippy Quilts who shares how she made her blocks. I hardly made a dent in this pile of crumbs. 

Here are 16 on my design wall. 

Sunday afternoon I finished piecing 20 blocks squared to 12 ½” which will make a lap quilt 48 by 60” or it could be larger by adding a border. I have enough crumbs but don't want the quilt to be the next size up (60 by 72”) if I made 10 more blocks.

My Goals for the week of November 15^th:

1. Sew Fiddlesticks top together.

2. Quilt another comfort quilt.

3. Use Go Me and dies to cut scraps into units.

4. Enjoy time with granddaughters.
