I'm Making Progress!

Yesterday I took the day off and I thought I would get soooo much done. HA!  I went to the gym in the morning and then met my friend, Cori (Crazy Quilt Girl) for lunch.  I went home and then went out to run some necessary errands.  By the time I got home it was 3PM!!   No sewing done yet.  So I pulled out my last Jelly Roll block and I managed to get that done.  I also finished the two 12 Days of Christmas BOM block 10 blocks finished too.  Wanna see?


One for me and one for LTW.

Don't they look great together??  I made a mistake with the pond fabric so I bought some more only mine was green rather than the aqua version.  What do you think??





I spent time at the gym this morning too. Two hours to be exact. I did an hour of body pump then an hour of Zumba. It was a good morning! Then I came home and showered. I decided to work on my Layer Cake quilt. After all I had finished my last block and I need this quilt finished by the end of May for my niece's graduation from high school. I layed out the blocks on my design wall couch and tried to decide what color I wanted for sashing. I had thought to use white but the blocks had so much white that I felt I needed a different color for the sashing. I had one of the big floral prints to use in the border so I put that one next to the blocks and had one of those eureka moments. I'm gonna keep you in suspense since by the time I finished it was dark, but I will tell you that I went out to JAF to look for some fabric to use that would work. When I got back I found this. Jack laying on top of my layout of layer cake blocks. I got some great shots of him.



Isn't he a gorgeous model for my layer cake blocks??  Oh Jack!  My bestest furry buddy.  He is sitting right next to me as I type this too.  He is never very far away from me when I'm home.  DH comes home tomorrow afternoon.  I miss him when he's gone.  I got this top DONE today!!  I will show you the rest of this tomorrow.  I am hoping to work on the other layer cake quilt top tomorrow as well as trace my block three of Birdie Stitches and another embroidery project.  I need to finish my cleaning and laundry too and there is a special Zumba photo shoot tomorrow that I said I would go to for our instructor (she didn't want to be on the poster without some students doing the routines).  I guess I should throw in some laundry and hit the hay.  ~XOP~
