This week I am on vacation, or should I say a staycation....lol. Still not used to that term...lol....vacation means to vacate/vacant. Which to me is still appropriate, no matter where you spend it, as you are not at your employment working (you are vacant), but that is just my opinion....lol. To each, his/her own.
We are already in the evening of Thursday, which means my vacation is almost over. Where has the time gone? For this week, I have been trying to allot time for various things that I want to do or need to be done. It has been busy with lots of different things. Today is the first day I had available to do my own thing in my quilting studio.
A lot of the stuff I did today though was not really worthy of pictures. I did a bunch of quilting house cleaning. Finishing off loose ends and cleaning up the space. I finally finished attaching the binding to the three NICU quilts that I made recently. The stars quilt, strings quilt and Eeyore are now in the done pile. They are ready to go to Project Linus who will deliver them to a hospital.
I also made and attached the binding to my own King size Christmas quilt and it is now ready to be tacked down on the back by hand. Lots of time for that....lol....Christmas is not for another seven months...lol. I also ironed a good amount of fabrics that I received and washed. Getting it ready to use in other charity quilts. My sewing table and surrounding areas are finally starting to look clean again. Clear surfaces makes me happy!!
The one thing that I am excited about.... I finished the Distelfink appliqué bird block. Yeay!!!
All of the fabrics I used for the appliqué are from my scraps. This block will eventually get some borders, to bring the size up to 25" square. This is the approx. size that I make them for a NICU quilt. I think it's cute and I think it turned out nice!
This block was part of a workshop that a friend and I hosted for the members of the guild. It's nice to have this done. Several of the other participants have already brought their block in to show for show and share at out last guild meeting.
Tomorrow I am off to my mom's place, so no quilting tomorrow........but wait until you see what I will be doing tomorrow. I'll share it with you then. I have a side quest....
Take care everyone. Enjoy the beautiful weather we are having.
