<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Slowly but surely, I am getting somewhere in the sewing room. I think that I have located all of my UFO's.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am somewhere between this embarrassingly long list:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I have managed to stick to my guns so far and not start any new projects.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have not gotten a accurate count of all of my UFO's yet, but I am joining <a href="https://www.daysfilledwithjoy.com/2019/04/01/ufo-spring-cleaning-challenge/">Joy's challenge</a> to get organized.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have had three pretty days in a row--sunny and warm.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One day it was almost 80 degrees.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hubby has been out in the yard moving and weeding and washing cars.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been in the sewing room.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Spring means bunnies and yes, bunny has a tail now.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I still have a little bit of blanket stitching to do around the flowers, but I am getting there. I should be able to finish him by Easter right????</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was working on a scrappy border for this as well. Hopefully I have enough bits to go around.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best news of all was that I found all the bits after hiding away for a year. Things are looking positive!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also finished the last two red blocks from the Squared Away Rainbow Challenge BOM from last year. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They really are red. The light is not all that awesome in the sewing room. I only have one small window.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I thought I was going to be done with the blocks after these, but after playing with them; I am going to do three more in orange.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good stuff happened. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.daysfilledwithjoy.com/">Joy</a> came to visit and we tried to get a lot of sewing done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We even kidnapped <a href="https://ansewon.blogspot.com/">Lola</a> to play with us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Guess what I was working on today? Yep, my poor bunny finally has a tail after a year. I do believe Lola is the only one that has finished so far.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a great time and I really, really hope she can come visit again soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Her name is Bunny and she is 6 years old. I was trying to get her adopted during one of our Humane Society events and sadly there were no takers.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She was in pretty bad shape: Skin problems, heartworms and unbeknownst to us at the time--she has seizures. I couldn't stop thinking about her, so I went and adopted her the following Friday. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are working on all of her issues and she is a very happy puppy. A happy, overweight puppy.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, her favorite sewing room spot is under the ironing board. I have to be careful.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In the midst of all that, my 91 year old mom, fell and shattered her elbow. She messed it up too badly to heal, so they had to replace it. She stayed with us for awhile and then back home for rehab. It is hard because she lives 2 hours away. Fortunately, she is back at it. Doing everything she used to do. Not that the doctors want her too. I hope to be just like her when (???) I grow up.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Things have chilled out a little and I plan to get some serious sewing done. And some serious organizing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I need to figure out where to put all of the goodies that I just bought at the quilt show at the beginning of the month.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Told you some good stuff happened.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lola and I didn't leave much for anyone else to buy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It certainly is in my yard. I know a lot of people are still getting snow, but I personally feel cheated. Winter just seemed to fly by. There were even a few days in there that I had to turn the air conditioner on. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">OK, I will stop whining! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I finally got my first green block done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I spent most of Saturday sorting through a million green scraps. It was a little overwhelming.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then, I made a few boo boos when putting this together.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were a few--what is wrong with this picture--moments.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a bunch more in the works. Some are partially put together and other are in piles.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Witt was playing Vanna for me.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unlike Vanna, he hates looking at the camera. There are lots of little piles of block sitting around. Fortunately, I had not laid out the next block pieces before he came to visit.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also spent a little while hunting for my phone.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I got the bright green cover because it would be easy to find.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I am late. I rarely get to sew on Saturdays and if I do, I don't have time to do a post.</span></span></div>

It looks better on the table. It was so dreary outside I couldn't get a really good picture. It also doesn't look quite like the original because I boo booed and didn't figure it out until I finished.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will stay and I suppose I need to do the other 2 the same way. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The kitty block is also cut out, so hopefully I will get some more constructing done before the weekend.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday is a work day, so come on Sunday!!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is my first Smitten Kitten from <a href="https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com/">Sew Fresh Quilts</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, I need to spend the rest of my time finishing the pie!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is layered and basted and it will be quilted very simply, so hopefully I will have a real live finish this month.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have been trying to get back to behaving with my eating.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not a good thing to think about!!! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got about 3 inches of snow yesterday, so today was another snow day for lots of people.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lucky for me, it was already my day off.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worked on my little piles of blue today.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finished this one:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I worked on another UFO.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just need to layer and bind it and I will have a finish!!!</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, actually I have a sinus infection, but I felt better today and started in on blue stuff.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cut out two blocks to add to last year's Rainbow Scrap Quilt and I cut two for the <a href="http://academicquilter.blogspot.com/p/squared-away-bom.html">Squared Away BOM</a> that is going on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know, I wasn't going to start anything new, but--OOPS!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Double oops really, because I cut out part of the beginnings of another new thing. Didn't finish cutting that one out because I am still hunting for colors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, I did work on two UFO's.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This one is basted finally.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And I spent awhile finding sashing, binding and backing for a small wallhanging that I started a really long time ago as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More on that later.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That is my hope for actually getting a finish in this month, so I really need to get it done.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I definitely have enough prepped for some in between work hours sewing now. Picking colors really seems to take up a lot of time. I do think that I stress it a little two much sometimes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope everyone had a productive and warm weekend.</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I should be a pro right!! Not!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not too long ago Joy from <a href="http://www.daysfilledwithjoy.com/">Days Filled With Joy</a> and a very dear friend did a post on our first endeavors into quilting. We both learned while living in Saudi Arabia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The biggest problem we both have is finding pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were both too busy learning. She was also a tremendous help to me homeschooling my son, so we were always busy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I also managed to miss out on the easy quilt that the group started with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was busy learning Cartonage. The art of making boxes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From scratch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">None of that going to the craft store and buying boxes and covering them with fabric. Nope!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started with flat sheets of thick cardboard and built from there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These two are working boxes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That round one was a hoot in so many ways!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And to be fair--I still have 2 UFO boxes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, from there I jumped into the class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is some of the gang, including Joy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully soon, I will show off my completely finished version of the one in the far left corner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first one, that I made was this one:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A serious lesson in how important pressing the right direction is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, a very impressive quilt. I went straight from cutting to sewing to basting to quilting to binding. Yep!!! I finished it all in one go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second one I did (the blue, purple and yellow stained glass above) was the one I am hoping to get quilted soon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the other one they did in the foreground of the pic above.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Australian animals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did finish that one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not until I got to Australia though. I was determined to have it done before we moved back to the states, so it is the only quilt so far that I let someone else do the quilting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She did an awesome job, but it still feels like cheating. Probably why I have a huge pile of quilt tops that are waiting patiently for me to quilt them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, that is my beginning story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joy and I still cheer each other on and we have started a couple of quilts together--that we have not finished--but one of these days she might stop traveling and I might stop working and we will finish them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully, I will get some actual sewing done in the next few days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually got a real snow day today because they are only opening the pharmacy for a few hours and they didn't need most of us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can live with that since I have to work tomorrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have fun and stay warm all! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, I was one of the lucky ones at work that was going to be off today anyway, but I am happy for the rest of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know--not good for the paycheck, but the roads are pretty bad out there.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it is very pretty!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am such a child.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wittersheim wanted his window open this morning, so this is what I woke up to.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Kitty Channel was a little uneventful this morning.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure all of the birdies are hiding in the trees somewhere.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are still a few flurries out there, but it is almost done. Now, it is just going to be really cold for the next few days.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been sort of invisible lately and that is going to change.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At least I hope so.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The past couple of months have been hectic. I have picked up lots of hours at work, to help out fellow employees and then of course the holidays and life in general.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have plans and more organizing to do in order to make my goals, but sewing is starting up again now.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I hope everyone is safe, happy and warm in this very cold weather.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At least I got my pink blocks done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a crazy month with being gone a week, extra hours at work and lots of Humane Society hours. Not that I am complaining about those. It just all takes away from the sewing room.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here they are:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pink was never my favorite color, but I have seen some super cute creations this month in blogland. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> May have to rethink some pink in the future!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also managed to get my fairy garden somewhat decorated for fall. So far it is more decorated than my house.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I still have to put my tiny little fall leaves in there and then we need to figure out where to put it when the snow starts falling.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, hopefully the snow will fall.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am such a child when it comes to snow.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the mean time, I need to decorate my house for fall because silly me decided that I should host Thanksgiving at my house this year!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Best way that I know of to be sure that I have plenty of leftovers right??????????</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have to find time to make Witt a Christmas bed out of this fabric that he picked out.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think not!!! I probably won't talk hubby into a side trip to Lancaster Co again for a very long time.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once again this month is going far to quickly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">100 days until Christmas is not making me happy.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Too much to do and not enough time to do it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I did get the second blue bird block prepped for Bleeker Street. I know we will be starting the next block soon.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also got the last two Patchkats done for quilt number 1.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This one was going to be mine, but I am also running out of time to get the one done for the Humane Society auction, so it may have to be theirs.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My piles are sorted nicely so that I can at least whip the middle together. It is going to be a large quilt, can't remember if it is queen or king. I will have to figure that out.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been spending a lot of time watching the Weather Channel this week because Irma is going to be messing with a lot of my friends and my goddaughter in Florida.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lots of prayers and good wishes are definitely going that way. I am sure that we will get some extra moisture from it here in Virginia as well, but nothing like they are experiencing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In between watching the storm, I have managed to get some sewing done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some orange sewing done.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know--I am not supposed to be starting new things, but I have been good for such a long time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I did work on getting my WIP's done first.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally decided on colors for the bird blocks for Bleeker Street. Yes, blocks--I totally forgot that there were 2 of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are kind of scary because the stems are so thin, but I will plug along. I really like the fact that this quilt is pushing me out of my comfort zone. Just have to take my time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I also cut out my orange block for the rainbow challenge.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was so happy that it was orange because I had some already picked out.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have one more combo to cut out and then I will get busy on these.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, for the new stuff.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I dug into my pile of Christmas fabrics that I picked out and prepped the first block in the Holly Cottage quilt.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not sure if you can see the little stitchery, but it is going to be a sweet little birdie that is going right in the center of the stocking. This will be another project that I have to work slowly on. Why you ask??? I already had to redo the applique pieces because they were facing the wrong way and I refused to start the quilt off with a boo boo!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And new project number 2 is going to be one of the awesome pineapple quilts that everyone is making.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far, mine looks like this:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one will go fairly quickly once I get everything cut out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Need to figure out the background and grab some green scraps and I will be good to go.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I have lots to keep me busy. I really needed to get a lot of prep work done ahead of time so that I could get things done on the days that I have to work.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did redo my moose. I am much happier with him now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Still have no idea what I did the first. Just Ugh!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I seem to spend a lot of time redoing lately. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm also working on the butterfly and other stitching on the birdhouse block for Bleeker Street.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And what bad habits you ask?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, Miss Good Girl Squeaks has obviously been paying way too much attention to her younger, naughty brother.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found her in one of his spots,</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and then she made a big old mess of her own without any instruction from her brother.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Needless to say, I have been doing some tidying today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not all of it has been caused by my furry friends, but they are certainly adding to it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For now--it is laundry and NASCAR.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hopefully, I will get some backgrounds for some applique blocks cut out later.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was a lot of activity in the sewing room today.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pulling this, cutting that, hunting for other things.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did do some actual sewing.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the main part of the birdhouse block for <a href="https://ivoryspring.wordpress.com/">Spring on Bleeker Street</a> done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I need to do the butterfly applique and some stitching and it will be good to go.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also finished cutting out the moose for Have a Holly Jolly Christmas over at <a href="https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com/">Sew Fresh Quilts</a>. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a pile of moose bits at the moment, but Saturday will be here soon right????</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then I collected a pile of stuff for August neutrals for the rainbow challenge.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not much actual cutting out there yet, but I am ready to go.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got distracted by a giant pile of Christmas fabric.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I pulled this pile.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I am finishing up the other Christmas quilt soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, at least I am finishing up the top. That counts right???</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have found a whole bunch of other things that I want to do lately as well, but I am trying to control myself.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know there is a pineapple quilt in my future.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sewing has been a challenge this month with all the extra time at work, but I did not do too badly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Took a quick picture of all my finishes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quick, because nothing wanted to stay on the wall.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I forgot to put all of the pinwheels up there that I did for my Bleeker Street quilt, but hopefully soon I can get a picture of all of my progress to date.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are my most recent finishes:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One more after this one--the mistletoe moose and then I can put it all together. Woo Hoo!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And a gray kitty!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Two more for the first quilt and then I can start putting it all together. I was going to do both at the same time, but I decided to do one to make sure I liked the locations of all of the left and right facing kitties before I did the second one.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are definitely an ongoing project!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There will be another project starting soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As soon as I sort through ridiculous amounts of Christmas fabric. Too many choices.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because the fact that I have 88 UFO's that I have been ignoring, is no big deal right?????</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stay cool everyone!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I woke up and hit the sewing room hard.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't believe the end of July is coming up soon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I made two cats, a reindeer, a rainbow block and 3 complete pinwheels.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a pile of cut out pinwheels that will hopefully get worked on this week.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One more long week at work and then maybe I will get more done. We shall see.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Witt got a new kitty TV, so he shares time between the sewing room and his window in the bedroom now.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was really hot out today--I think even the birdies were hiding.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lost June altogether and now July is running away too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a lot of stitching to do before this month's progress report for Bleeker Street, so I need to keep it handy at all times.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also worked on some of my kitties and I have more rainbow blocks and my reindeer cut out for Holly Jolly Christmas.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoping that with everything prepped, I can get some things done with all of my extra work hours.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My helper was not very helpful today.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He ended up moving everything out of his way and taking a nap right where there used to be a neat pile of fabric.</span></span></div>
