Easy Street Step 2.................and a winner!

Well Easy Street has been really EASY, so far. I did all my flying geese tonight in no time flat.

Tomorrow, (since it didn't happen today) I plan on digging the tree and stuff out of the garage and getting that all done. Then onto HST's for a project I still can't remember. LOL!  Oh and we have a winner from my 100 follower giveaway too.......

Happy Cottage Quilter said...

I have quite a few ufo's. Maybe about 20 ;-) It's much more fun to make the flimsy then to finish the quilt!

I have emailed and asked for snail mail address.  I hope everyone else is having fun doing Bonnie's mystery too. This year is really easy compared to the last two. I can play catch up on everything else in between this years clues. Maybe I can even get Orca Bay finished?!?!

Easy Street part 1

Well Easy Street has started, and I am done with part 1, Woo Hoo! 203 little 4 patches. So I have a few extras..........we will see where they end up later on. Now the hard part...........waiting for step 2, won't be out till FRIDAY! Good thing I went back to work today!

In the meantime I am working on sewing all those HST's that I still haven't a clue what I am making them for. Oh well, I will have tons of blue and neutral HST if and when I need them.

I also got the last border on the Christmas string quilt, got the backing sewn together and washed it too, since everything on the front side was washed. Now to start quilting it, so maybe I can use it for Christmas. Which reminded me I made hubby a quilt or should I say a quilt top for Christmas last year, need to add the last border, piece the back together, and then quilt it too. So we will both have one. We hardly ever turn the heater on, and sometimes it is just too late to start a fire in the wood burning stove, so we just cuddle up with quilts.

Oh yeah, don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already done so.

Movin on up..........& Threadbias

UFO's that is. I am movin them up the list. My list has a few main categories on it. For 2012 so far the popular ones I have:

4 - 100% finished.
5 - Needs Binding
12 - Needs Quilted
2 - Needs a Back
2 - Needs blocks pieced together to make top
2 - 1/2 done
10 - Still working on it
5 - UFO (haven't touched it in some time (years))
8 - Waiting to start.
Now this isn't all of them, some of them just aren't in any of these categories. But this week I have been moving them on up this list, closer and closer to the top.

I got the pink n orange mystery top done, moved it to needing a back. I will look for fabric tomorrow.

I moved my Block-A-Palooza one from still working on it,  to the needs to be quilted pile. Finished the whole top and pieced the entire back together as well. Yippeeee

Got my Christmas string top finished, and got the back pieced as well, so it is now in the needs to be quilted pile.

Put together a back for the Jacob's Ladder too, so now that one is also in the needs to be quilted pile. Wow that pile is growing! Better get busy.

Took one off the needs to be quilted pile, and moved it to the needs binding pile.

Oh yeah, I see I have also made it to 100 followers too, and over 25,000 views. WOW! So this means I need to have a giveaway. So leave me a comment telling me how many UFO's you have, or you think you have. I will have a drawing on the 1st of December for the winner.

A fellow quilting blogger and I were emailing back and forth a week or so ago, and she told me about this new website called Threadbias. It is a forum type place, and it is the simplest of all forums I have ever been to. You have your own studio that you can put your projects into as well. I seem to like it. Now to get all my projects uploaded to it eventually, it would be an easy to see place for all those UFO's, WIP's, and PhD's too. Keeping my list updated, and looking at it often helps me going. Now I will also be able to see them too. If you go over there, look me up *16muddyfeet* of course!

As for no photos today........Blogger says I am maxed out, so now I have to find my Picasa web page, and delete some photos. Time to go through past years, and get the blog in order to have it printed into book form.

Hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving, and maybe you got some sewing time in too.

Vacation has begun.........

Ever going on vacation and it doesn't feet like it??? Told my boss remember I am off tomorrow, he replied aren't you off for a whole week? OH YEAH! I AM!!!  I forgot! So lets have a little giveaway.

Late last year I was testing patterns for a few designers out there, and I got a special little package in the mail earlier this week. Kim from Chatterbox Quilts sent me a few patterns of the one I tested out. She has them all printed and ready to be sold. It is a table runner she calls the pattern Tweet-Heart.

 So with it being Memorial Day leave me a comment on this post, telling me if you or anyone in your family has ever been in the Military. I will pick a winner next Wednesday. If you don't win you can go to her blog and click her Etsy shop button I am sure she has them in her shop.
