Grandmother's Dream

This week's Grandmother's Choice BOW is Grandmother's Dream.  This took most of my morning to piece.  All those "Y" seams!  It actually came out the right size, which is amazing to me, so I'm not going to moan about how unhappy I am with my fabric choices.

I also finished the centre of Aunt Lizzie's Scrap Basket.  In the original pattern, there is a wide border with appliquéd flowers and leaves.  I'm not interested in doing that kind of work for this project.  I'm tempted to create some sort of pieced border and call it done.  I don't have any more of the light fabric (it has a tiny blue polka dot) but I think that's okay.  I have lots of scraps still! 

Snow Day

I had scheduled today off, using up some "in lieu time" I had accumulated at work.  I was looking forward to a day at home on my own, tucked under the sewing table.  But Mother Nature had other ideas - and Hubby is home on a Snow Day!

Oh well, I have managed to do some sewing anyway - - I've assembled some borders for Black & White.  (The strips on the wall belong to Aunt Lizzie's Scrap Basket)  I hope to have the top totally assembled before the end of the weekend.

I've been working away on my hexie flowers together this week too.

Some sewing time...at the crack of dawn

I was up at the "Crack of Holy $#!}" this morning...and my e-reader needed a charge so I crawled out of my nice warm bed, turned on CBC Radio and spent a quiet hour at my machine, merrily sewing away.  I finished all the units for Aunt Lizzie's Scrap Basket before having to shut 'er down to get ready for the work day. Tonight, while Hubby practised on his guitar I started to sew the units into pairs.  Nice, nearly mindless.  Is there anything quite like it?

While surfing around the www tonight, I found a couple of super cool links that I know other quilters need to know about.  Check out these links:

My Go-Go Life: My Christmas Hippie Chic Bus Pillow you can print on Pellon Wonder Under!!!!!  I can't wait to try this!

From Pixels to Patchwork : Free Printable Quilt Project Sheets  I think these might be helpful in organizing these UFO's for me.
