I actually did make it in to my craft room for some sewing 2 days this past week. I had bought my daughter a small tv with built in dvd player at a yard sale. I put that in her room and took the tv with built in vcr and put it in my craft room.
I realize that most of you would prefer to not have a tv in your craft room, but here is what I did. Also while going to yard sales one day I was able to buy 20 VHS movies for just $1 at one sale. These added to the full shelves we already have, and what we can still check out from the public library will keep me busy in my room. I found it worked really well for me to turn on a movie and sew until it was over. (I watched Michael and Charlie's Angels).
I was able to finish the flower quilt, which you can see in my TGIFF post (right under this post if you are on my home page) I also finished my first block for the sampler I am doing at the quilt shop. We are doing Every Barn Tells a Story. This block is the Ohio Star. This is my first time doing a sampler, it's a 20 month one, and this is the first block:
I completed a fabric bag that was for an order. I also worked just a bit on my new quilt for sewing club at church. I didn't work on it enough, however, to warrant taking a photo. I have to get all of the materials laid out for it and really get back in to the groove. I hope to get that much done this evening.
I had gotten behind on my granny square a day challenge. Well, not really, I had the squares done, just didn't have them on my blanket. I am now caught up on putting squares on the blanket up to July 31, day 213.
I have a bit of a dilemma now. I am down to just a few colors of yarn left, and only small balls of those. I am going to have to start crocheting on a prayer shawl for church so that I can see if I have yarn left from that for my granny squares. I have 110 more granny's to crochet to complete the blanket, plus the squares needed for a pillow.
Here is what my blanket is looking like so far:

Your granny afghan is gorgeous! You really a lot of work with it!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a lot of fun to do a barn-themed project. :)
