I need a kickstart !

DD2's church confirmation went very well - thanks for all the good wishes :-)
The last guests left yesterday.
My aunt really liked the Bento Box quilt made from fabric given by her.

I am in a vacuum sewing wise.

Trying to get my sewing corner back in some kind of working order,
after having it stripped down to nothing is not easy,
and even if I want to sew I can not find the peace to sit down,
as nothing is in it's proper place, and nothing is calling my name.

I better give myself a kick in my (_Y_)
and start sewing - I have a lot on my list for May !

Where do I start ??

I better make myself a To Do list and stick to it :-)

* Cut and piece 4 table mats for my "DSIL". 2 for late (very very late) gift and 2 more because I would like to give them to him. These are really fast to do, and here is a photo of 2 he got autumn 2005:




To my relief I see I have machine quilted the 2 first meandering style, which is faster than quilting in the ditch.
I do not have all the fabrics I used for the first 2, but I think I still have a small piece of the blue cat fabric, which is the most important one.
One can hardly call these stashbusters but they will be made from fabric collection.
I actually passed on a free freight offer in a Norwegian online shop just a couple of minutes ago. I still need to shrink my fabric collection. It is my plan and I want to stick to it !!

* I will make 2 blocks for my circle quilt - the big block.
Next and last class day is Thursday this week.


* Make a couple more blocks for DD2's quilt


* Do a thread or two on this applique block
It is easier to have plan in photos and writing - I actually feel like starting now :-)

This is my plan for today, and I will do my best to stick to it !

  1. Those photos really do help more that just writing it down... Glad that your daughters special day went so well!

  2. I like those placemats! I might have to make some with my leftovers from my scrappy blue quilt. Keep working on your projects - you do such beautiful work! Right now I am forcing myself to work on some projects already started - so I am sticking to my to do list too.

    I hope everyone enjoyed your DD's day!

    Cheers!

  4. What an ambitious plan for the day! I guess having a plan of action in writing DOES keep you accountable.

    Me, on the other hand, beyond lazy today--tomorrow, back to "work". In my defense, several phone calls to make and things to put up from our trip.

  6. After a week or so of no quilting progress I just outlined my plan too - once I get home on Friday I have to quilt for the next week or two and start cutting for a wedding quilt for my son. Luckily my Mom is going to help piece the top but I have to decide on a layout first!
