Made lots of progress on the anniversary quilt this week but neglected
other items on the "to-do list" of everyday life. Company is coming
tomorrow (sister, nephew and wife, first son's girl friend and second
son) so must concentrate on setting house in order and the meal. This
isn't a special occasion but my nephew isn't able to visit his grandma
often so when he is coming everyone else comes too.
For those who have missed my other posts the numbers after the block
names refer to several books which are collections of blocks. I looked
through the books and chose blocks which have names that correspond to
our lives over the past 40 years. I plan to give my husband the stack
of blocks with a note attached to each block explaining why I chose
that block. I didn't want the pressure of finishing the quilt by our
August wedding anniversary. Realistically I knew the only way the
quilt would be completed was if I locked myself in the studio. I
wanted this to be a fun project not a pressure project. Weekly
progress is reported here so you can keep me sewing.
Blocks completed this week:
Sheep May Safely Graze--the one that took so long because sheep facing
the wrong way.
Cross Roads to Jericho #2385 Barbara Brackman
Peace and Plenty # 1201Barbara Brackman
Cross (my variations but inspired by #949.3 Barbara Brackman)
Album #2414 Barbara Brackman
Boys Nonsense #2811Barbara Brackman
Thrifty #84 Maggie Malone's book "5,500 Quilt Block Designs"
Delectable Mountains #1865 Maggie Malone
Rocky Mountain Puzzle page 61 Yvonne Khin's book "The Collector's
Dictionary of Quilt Names and Patterns"
That is 25 of 40 blocks completed. I might make it yet. One month to
go.

Susan, you're making great progress! You only have 15 blocks to go, so a
couple of weeks should see you finished, if all goes well and the house
guests don't stay long. ;)

Susan...what is the quilt shop you frequent? I'll be over in the western
suburbs next weekend. I'm attending a wedding on Friday night in Naperville
and I can dally all day Saturday before I head back home. I thought maybe
I'd program some quilt shops into my new navigation system on my car. I
need to practice using it. And what better way?????
