I have been busy cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, recycling, reorganizing, Goodwilling, and trashing stuff. As a result, I have only done a few things in the way of crafting and quilting projects.
I did the garbage container recently as the original was driving me batty.
We are slowing working on the trash-to-treasure nightstand. All that is needed is a couple of coats of polyurethane and that project will be completed.
And, I finished adding the borders to the Layer Cake blocks which I last posted about on June 21st. They are all squared up.
As of this morning
As you can see, I have made very little progress on the quilt. The next step is cutting fabric for the sashing and sewing those on.
I am planning to relax and enjoy a week or two for myself before getting back to cleaning, cleaning, and cleaning! We are trying to simplify and organize our lives. We have already gotten rid of a dining table and two folding side tables via Craigslist and I am planning to sell off more including an antique sewing machine. (No, it is not my Grandmother's sewing machine).
I am anxious to get the Layer Cake quilt top and backing finished because I wish to play with my newest "toy" in the house.
A Sneak Tease

Love the colors in your quilt. I still have a few blocks to do in mine but I chose ugly colors...
ReplyDeleteNice blocks! I hear you on the housework. When I make progress quilting, my house is a diaster zone. I feel like it's impossible to keep up with both!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new toy! Your blocks look great up on your design wall. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I'd done as much housework as I should have done. Love your blocks though!
