Charm Quilt Top

I'm trying something new (with varying degrees of success!) now that I got the freezer stocked. My goal is to work from 4 or 5 AM until 4 PM. Period. During that time, I do all my chores, be it laundry, floors, typing, proofing, sending work out, answering phones, baking some bread to go with dinner, and dishes, dishes, dishes. At 4 PM, I am trying to get upstairs.

Yesterday, I got side tracked by a dirty bathroom and lost an hour cleaning it, and also cleaning out a small closet. But I did make it upstairs to sew a bit!

Tonight I did even better. I got side tracked again, by Major Important Discussions, about car repairs and cable service problems..... sigh..... but I still made it upstairs and managed a couple hours of sewing! Yay!














Borders are on Wiffie's lady bug quilt, and it is ready to be sandwiched and pinned tomorrow and then I will start quilting it!

Plus I have a block for Saturday Sampler to complete (half done) so I can get the next month's block this Saturday. I have two more evenings to get that done.

In a completely unrelated note, 26 years ago tonight, I was in labor. Tomorrow, my youngest will be 26 years old. As one of my friends recently said, in a tone of wonder.....

"How can this be? Why, I'm only 29!!"

Happy Birthday Laurie!!

I am green with envy that you can sew in the middle of the week, until I saw your daily schedule. I don't think I could sew a straight line after a 12 hour work day. LOL!

LOVE IT !!!! The colors remind me of Craig's Quilt, at least the green and black anyway. Nice schedule too. I agree work 12 hours then sew....too bad we require sleep or we could work 12, sew 12, work 12, sew 12....oh well! I think we just all need to be independently weathly so we can just sew. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURIE LU !!!

Love ya,
"Auntie" Karene
