Weekend Lineup

 

This weekend, the plan is to do a bit on Raining Cats and Dogs, do a bit on Hampton Ridge, do a bit on Celtic Solstice, and try to find something I enjoy doing that I can sprinkle Celtic Solstice into.

I was able to get some cutting done for the Celtic Solstice but I still need 50 more pairs of those little white HSTs I mentioned on a previous post. When I realized that I needed more I had a bunch of white larger triangles that I cut down to size.  Then I went through the Scrap Bin #3 to find any white/light cream scraps.  Well I cut them all and I still need 50 pairs.  So I went through Scrap Bin #4 and found more white fabric I can use.  Next step: press and cut.  But I’m thrilled that I was able to reduce the scrap bins!  It’s the little things in life we find enjoyment in, right?

Well since I’m bored with Celtic Solstice, I’m pulling the next project on my quilt list.  There are other things in my goal list – one is knitting and another one is finishing a mini-project like a bag or something.  But I’m not enthused about either of those items.  So, the next quilt project is the Corduroy quilt!  I’ll leave you with a picture from when I last worked on that project in 2014:

Ready for Retreat!!!

Bags packed for retreat!

Bags packed for retreat!

Retreat is tomorrow and I’m ready to go!  I’ve got my bags packed and Friday morning is just a few hours away.  I know it seems early but tonight is my turn at chauffeuring the girl to Cheer practice.  That means I’m not home until almost 11pm!  So, I packed up my sewing machine and all my supplies and projects last night.   The husband will drive me to the hotel tomorrow morning.  It’s retreat lite so I’m not staying at the hotel but going back and forth from home each day.  It’s not too far (maybe 10 minutes) – so it’s not a big deal.  It’s my momma’s birthday tomorrow so the weekend will not be entirely spent at the retreat.

I brought a number of projects with me – Hampton Ridge Blocks 3 and 4, Missing Ivy and if those two do not get me out of my Sew Slump – I packed in the corduroy kit from PIQF.  I’ve been excited about that for a long time but I’m hesitant to start a new project.  I do not want another UFO to add to my list.  But my sew slump is driving me crazy and I need to move past it.  And if another UFO will help me do that – then sew be it. 🙂
