schedule for this week

this week I plan to

Monday finish piecing the back and add the daisies to Eloise capri quilt and add the ruffle to the center more on that
this is it almost done
I added the borders one backward but that made it different and that's me
add the outer border to modern mylee baby quilt
I wasn't to hip on the colorsa fter I opened the charm pack I got 3 at a bargain last yr and thought it would be a cute girl quilt I have to say tho I like it!
just charms with 2 1/2 in squares sewn to opposite corners
 fast and simple
 in need to sandwich and baste capri daisies im thinking grey thread I bought some pre filled bobbins and new thread

I have the binding fabric for hubble cut and sewn on this week
 
2 more applique blocks for crewel world this week uh maybe (month)
 
I also added another 3 in border on the butterfly baby quilt I think it needed to be a bit larger pics later
 I also have a birthday later this week I have to work but im thinking hubs can bring home supper one night
I also need to cut out the parts for the fireworks donation quilt
well im off for another 9 hr day at work
Im getting to old to be on my feet that long but you gotta do what you gotta do!
 have a great sunday

see that triangle with the green bubbles that's what I got for the binding
bubbles>large swirl flowers allover
robinson anton natural white thread
I had a little shredding but kept going it is so frustrating
and the fabric is salt air by cosmo cricket

a leaf border and straight lines down the last border

waiting for the fabric for the binding
I really wanted to do something great in all that open space but chickened out in the end
baby quilt no one special just thought it would make a cut one  I might put another border on it


all those black eyed susans are outside our door and the bees are crazy I could hardly get a pic they swarm the hummingbird feeders to
 
so cute
2 little table toppers and yes I did love those butterflies had to stop making them or ill never get anything else done

 
well im off to work 9 hrs no time for sewing today so sad hope that the fabric comes today to finish Eloise quilt have to finish by sept 15
