Back in MCM again....
OK, so it has been a while since I have spent any length of time in MCM...but tonight I bit the bullet and headed back in there to see what kind of trouble I could get into.
I didn't even sit down at the machine but I did manage to:
- get a bunch of strips cut and into a tote...and...
- cleaned up the strips mess from working on Nancy's and her father's Heart String Blocks...and...
- put away the bolt of thermalamb that was sitting behind my sewing chair...and...
- re-stacked the quilts under the window (Meow jumps up there and had knocked them over)...and...
- packed a box of this and that and that and this to send off to LindaJ and the BamaBelles...and...
- cleaned off the end of the ironing board...you know where everything piles up....and...
- put away my Christmas fabric stash...and...
- sorted through 6 UFO's in pizza boxes...trying to be realistic about whether I will finish them or not...and...
- pulled stickers out of my scrapbooking supplies for my calendar pages
Currently I am still plugging along with Gramma's Aprons. I am continuing to enjoy the handquilting process, finding it peaceful and calming. My goal is to have Gramma's Aprons completed by the end of February at the very latest.
Monday is a holiday and the NYSE is closed so our office is closed as well. I will spend that day getting backs ready for my upcoming machine quilting wknd.
Inspite of all the UFO's and WIP's and etc I have, inspite of the fact that I need a new quilt for our bed, inspite of my need to get some hot pads, table toppers and placemats made for the kitchen I am giving some (ok, a lot) of consideration to joining a couple of friends who are doing some redwork. I just can't say no...why can't I just say "no!"? I don't know and there for I have a room full of UFO's, WIP's and etc as well as projects in my mind that need doing...
Oh well...it is what keeps life interesting, right???

Did I hear you say redwork? The month of January is quickly passing--you had better get started on that first snowman! *LOL* *poke poke* *nudge nudge* Glad to hear you are interested--these blocks are fun. We both have a long way to go to catch up to LindaJ--she said something about working on May's block....
Wow...will you come clean up my room?...please...............
My playroom has got so messy I've moved the sewing machine to the kitchen table so I can sew! So I'm up a few minutes early this morning and am going to spend 15 minutes putting stuff away. And I'll do the same tomorrow morning and the next morning and the next.... until I have a useable playroom again!
Sure wish I had another 3 day weekend coming up. Unfortunately our next holiday isn't until Presidents' Day next month. :-(
You can come over and clean too. I understand about wanting to start another project when you have so many in the works. I got bit yesterday too.
Ahem. Redwork. I got the latest newsletter from Great American Quilt Factory in Denvertown and they have a Redwork Quilt as a BOM that will be kitted-up. I called. Thank goodness it won't be ready until Feb. But now it's on my mind and I'll have to stop in the shop next time I visit Auntie.
