Quilt Diary: SAL Update

Coming to you from Denver today.  On the road for hockey with my grandson Shaun.  We are in day 2 of this tournament.  We have played so very physical teams and hard teams.  We managed to squeak out a win 3 out of 3 games.  Playoffs start this afternoon so I thought I would squeeze in a quick post between games since I didn’t post anything on Wednesday.  And that would be because Sunday the washer died and I ended up running around all over town to get a new washer and dryer by Wednesday so we could finish washing clothes for hockey.  Very little sewing really happened at the sewing machine.

Quilt Diary: May Easy Pieced Table Runner Finish!!!

This is my second finish for this quarter which puts me ahead of last quarter already (lol!).  I am excited to have finished this table runner.  This series has it all for someone like me who is a wee bit ADD.  I like to work on multiple things and get bored easily.  There is piecing, applique, embroidery, and quilting.  There was the planning of the colors because I choose not to purchase the kit that is offered (but the pattern is free!)  When I redid my kitchen, my main decorating color has been teal.  I am not saying other things won’t look great, but I really didn’t have any nice table runners, place-mats or anything.  Since I am going to do them, I want things to go more with the chosen gray and teal decor.  This was my second such project. (See Christmas set here.)  Out of my Quilty Box was this gorgeous fat quarters that I thought was perfect.  This fabric line (Moda Walkabout) has been fun with the the stripes.

Quilt Diary: A look back on June and 2nd Quarter and reset for July and 3rd Quarter Goals

Sadly, the only project I finished second quarter was my Strawberry mug rugs in May.  I just can’t seem to be disappointed with all the progress I did make on my projects.  They just didn’t get finished.  I didn’t even finish my June One Monthly Goal with Elm Street.  But oh the progress I have made!  I think Quarter 3 will be a big quarter for finishes.

Quilt Diary: Hockey, Hockey, When do I get to Quilt?

I wrote a post last week, but Starbucks Google lost it somewhere in the dark web.  Maybe some day it will reappear but I am just moving on baby.

It is once again Hockey Wednesday (after Hockey Monday, Hockey Tuesday….)  It is off season but I feel like I have less sewing time then during season.  I am guessing because during season I am prepared and plan better.  Of course, attending 3 out of 4 home playoff games each round takes a lot of time too.  I am not going to Game 7 of Round 2 because my grandson Shaun does have practice today.  We are taping it but I don’t want to watch if we lose.  That is just not fun.
