It's been a busy week. Grad Girl and I spent one day in Tulsa and then another in Oklahoma City. We had fun, but it did impact my stitching time this week. I managed my 15 minutes every day, but sometimes not much more than that. It's OK, she heads back to school tomorrow. I'm glad we had a chance to hang out so much while she was home.
All I have to show for the week is a bunch of pinned pieces at my sewing machine.
At the top is the last of pieces needed to finish off the December clue for Malted Mystery. The rest is all the bits and pieces in progress for Indigo Way. Bonnie gave the reveal on Friday. I have blocks components pinned but no finished blocks to show off just yet.
The only other thing I got done this week was to prewash and start pressing the fabrics I'm using for the 2024 SAHRR.
I've been collecting Halloween fabric for years, the SAHRR seemed to be a good place to use a lot of those odds and ends. Grad Girl has already spoken for this quilt. I need to get busy and make my center block this week.
Today is Grad Girl's birthday.
So hard to believe she's in grad school midway through her second year. Happy birthday!
Linking up with Monday Design Wall and Patchwork & Quilts.
Happy birthday to Grad girl. It is fun to hang out with those adult kids - a whole new relationship.
ReplyDeleteThose Halloween fabrics will be really fun for your SAHRR. I'll be following along, but not sure yet if I'll participate. I do have a "starter" block ready just in case I decide to play along.
Happy Birthday Grad Girl... Those Halloween fabrics look terrific. It'll be fun to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to her daughter (and to you: you were there!). The isosceles triangles immediately put me in mind of Indigo Way. Thanks for the notice about SAHRR 2024. I'd like to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteshe will be glad when Grad school is behind her I'm sure - glad you got to spend time with her
ReplyDeleteI like to prewash and iron all my fabrics before I use them too, and I know how time consuming that is! I've seen so many Indigo Way "in progress" posts around the blog world, I'll have to check out the final reveal!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Grad Girl! I'm so glad you are getting so much time to visit her. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Grad Girl! I'm glad you got to have her home for a few weeks. A Halloween SAHRR sounds like fun! I know what my center block will be - just have to pick some coordinating fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Grad Girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Grad Girl. Lovely you got to hang out with her. Enjoy stitching those Halloween fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Grad Girl. Did you eat out in OKC and Tulsa?
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you got to spend so much time with Grad Girl over her break. I hope she has a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you are using for the SAHRR! I haven't decided yet if I will participate. I need to look around and see if I have any blocks made that would be a good starting point.
These busy weeks with family are the best! Happy birthday to your GG! Your blocks for various projects are lovely, and this Halloween collection is perfect for a new SAHRR!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, have a great stitching week ;)
So glad you had good times with your daughter while she was home and best wishes to her for her birthday. Your block pieces are looking good!
