Busy

I once again do not have much to show. I have the best of intentions during the day but have no motivation to work on much when I get home from work.

The time change always makes me feel tired, even though we gained an hour. I have a hard time wanting to get out of bed in the dark (yes, it is dark at the time I have to get up), and now the cold. 

Anyway, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish this weekend.

- house blocks for Quilt Exchange
- media cart cover (for school)
- finish quilting Ruth's baby quilt
- sash and border T-shirt quilt

I finished the house blocks.


These are the blocks that came to me this time. We are in Round 3.


This is the first block ready to be sewn.
This member has very specific instructions. She wants red roofs, 1 house block in grays, 1 in blacks (we are each making 2 house blocks) and solid red doors. 

 
After I got this one made I realized that what I interpret to be the door was not red.


So I remade it.
Mine are the the 2 on the top right.

I worked on the T-shirt quilt.




I did finish the sashing, but did not get the borders on.


The media cart cover has been delayed. My friend had said, 'You know how to sew, can you make this?' And, I said, 'Sure!'. But, now I'm not exactly sure of the kind of fit that is expected. 
I know my friend wants the ugliness of the cords and equipment to be hidden from the front and sides. But, I am not sure how to finish the back - leave it open? Make the back part with flaps that can somehow be moved out of the way to allow access to the equipment, like a curtain? And, if so, how to do that? So I am going to need to discuss this further with her. 

Not one stitch went into the baby quilt.

So I have been busy, but it feels like I didn't get much accomplished.

So sorry about your loss. Brothers are so dear. I only had one brother, and I miss him a lot. On the cart - I would think it could be a flap that just hangs down, and can be lifted out of the way if you need to get to what is behind it. Hope you figure it out.

I often say "Yes" when someone asks me the same question....you sew - can you do this? I just saw a T-shirt with the saying on it: "NO....It's a complete sentence." haha I need to use it more often. Good luck with your project.
