slacker

Yep, that's me! 

A slacker, lately!

Few and far between on the blog posts.

Sorry!

No excuses, just life!

So back to the business at hand:

Here are a couple of quilts I meandered over last week.

The first is Virginia's.

She is working on cleaning up her back-log of UFOs.

This one is a five-year-old BOM.

I don't know about you, but I think it was worth the wait! 

The second one is Helen's.

A trip around the world. 

 In thirties.

It's great, too, isn't it?

I have a pic,
as promised,
of the craziness that I signed up for recently.
Remember,
I told you that
I decided
I had the time this summer
to do a
BLOCKS OF THE WEEK?
Each week is
4 applique and 5 nine-patches -
all finishing at three and a half inches!
The craziness in this decision?
The WEEK part!!!
Who in the world
has time to add four appliques and 5 nine-patches a week!!!!!??????
In the middle of summer????!!!!
What was I thinking?
So,
the first week,
the delivery was late -
as the truck carrying the background fabric had an accident in New York.
So, right off the bat  needle, well, I am a week behind in my BOW.
This is the forth week...
and it's time for this weeks' blocks in the mail.
And,
TA DA
I want it noted that I am caught up - all three previous weeks done!
Here's the proof:

Oops!

I guess I'm not up to date!

I just counted the little 3 1/2 inch blocks in the picture,

should be 15 nine-patches and 12 appliques....

I only count ten 9-patches. 

But, I do have all of the wool on cotton appliques done. 

I will count the appliques as done.

5 nine-patches to go.

Before the mailman drives past my house tomorrow lunch-time!

And why did I decide that I could add this project to my summer?

Well, just look at those blocks...

They are just too cute!
