Where does the time go?

It has been almost a week since I posted.........or accomplished very much. Life just gets in the way..........and more often than I would like! At any rate, DH is now much better and will probably be able to avoid surgery and go back to work tomorrow. A very good thing.

I had thought that I would finish handquilting the baby quilt last week, but it just wasn't to be. I am still plugging away, but had to stop and play catch up on a couple of things.

Tonight was the second meeting for Thimbleberries at my LQS for this year.........I missed the first. I don't get into their extra projects as a rule, but I do usually like the big quilts. I particularly liked the fabric line this year, and chose the light and bright version. I got my first blocks done for tonight............

Last Saturday was SS at Little Quilts in Marietta, and I picked up my SS block and my Thangles block. I have fallen behind two blocks on the Thangles blocks, but it won't take long to catch up. Here are the four I have done so far. I really like the fabric selection for this project.

Hopefully I will be able to catch up and keep up with these BOM type projects so that they will not become UFOs for next year! It all sounds simple enough.........a block commitment here and there.........but it is amazing how quickly you can fall behind and become overwhelmed. I will strive not to go there.

Tomorrow night is going to be so much fun. A group of us quilting friends have gotten together and made a group quilt........chickens and roosters...........for a friend of ours who is having a birthday, and is generally in need of some special TLC. We are going to meet at her house and surprise her with it. She is going to be so overwhelmed!!! I will try to take some photos to share.

Off to try to finish one more Thangles block.............
