Omigosh progress

After almost a full week of no sewing, I was really glad to get down to the studio today, after running errands and all those things that you just don't find time to do during the weekdays.  I have a bit of a confession.....  I was so happy to sit and sew, that I ignored everything else that could have...should have...but didn't get done!  LOL.

I was having such a relaxing time of it.  I figured I'd start on my required blocks, and as I had the white/cream coloured thread in the machine, decided to start with my double nine patch blocks for the Omigosh quilt.  I had all the units done, so all I needed to do was assemble the units into a finished square.

I'm not sure if you recall, but the last time I worked on these, I did extra blocks to get them caught up with my Rhododendron squares.  I had 14 blocks left to do.  Well....I just couldn't help myself....  Instead of doing the one required block....I did them all!!!

I am very surprised that I did get them all done, considering all the running around I had to do.  I didn't get down to the studio until 4:00 pm and even then, it wasn't without constant interruptions.  My son decided that he wanted to make a large pot of spaghetti sauce, to jar up and have at the ready when he feels like it.  Since he hasn't made this before, I was constantly required to talk him through all the steps.  He did well and did do all of it himself, until it was time to put in the spices/herbs.  

He asked me before he started where he could get the recipe.  I just looked at him, tapped my finger on my head and told him it was all in there.....lol.  He just shook his head....lol.  Anyways, he was able to follow my instructions for each step and then I went up to add in all the spices/herbs once he had everything cooked and ready to assemble.

It smelled so good!  I am looking forward to having some of that sauce tomorrow, on some steamed cauliflower rice or maybe some steamed shredded cabbage.  Tomorrow I'll see if I can finish some of the other required blocks.

Take care everyone.  Have a great weekend.
