Another Week

It is the third Sunday in August and I am not sure where this year has gone. Looking ahead this week it is almost time for another Somerville Sew Day, so I have to make sure I am ready for that. Usually I try to have a quilt ready to bind, but I am not sure that is going to happen this week.

The Shoe Fly has gotten big enough to come off the design wall and move to the floor. I have 22 rows done and the original pattern had 26 but I think I have enough to add another row but that still means I only have 5 more rows to sew and attach. Of course these are the longest rows, but maybe I can get it to the flimsy stage by Saturday.

The pattern calls for a one and half inch inner border, I am using red, and a 3 and half inch outer border of the same fabric as the alternate squares and setting triangles. I will barely have enough of the blue to do this plus binding. If I am short I could bind it in the same red.


Weekly goals for August 20th.

1. Make 4 patch blocks for stitch day
2. work on Jacob's Ladder blocks using exchange blocks
3. quilt 2
4. work on shoe fly
5. piece backing and binding for pink charity top
6. work on cleaning and organizing sew room
