Too Confusing

The 100 Blocks block posted for the past six days have been the blocks from the previous days I'm posting. (Wow, if that's not confusing). For instance, today is block 7 that posts to Instagram. But on the blog, I would have posted block 6 for yesterday's Instagram post.

That's being changed. The day the block posts on Instagram is the day it'll be posting it here. Meaning today is a bonus day since I have to show both yesterdays and todays blocks.

Block 6

Block 7
I finished this little cutie yesterday on the long arm and actually got it bound between trips to town.

A class sampler for future use

I hope to use it to teach piecing/quilting if anybody would actually hire me teach in their shop.

The long arm is empty and my goal is to get something loaded today. I was just texting Katie about all the unfinished tops I have hanging around here and how I need to get a handle on the volume. The constrictor in all of it is batt and backs. But at least what is in inventory to finish can be started.

Between getting ready for the reunion, I can do a row, or even a block for sanity purposes and try to get some of these finished. That's the goal for the next few days I think.

Here are the ladies; standing guard in my studio making sure everything is going well. I had a lot of slaplaque to do on them before I was able to load them onto the long arm. I didn't want to do all that background fill with my little sewing machine, so I sewed some extensions onto the top and bottom to be able to load this onto the long arm leaders.

Long Arming the "Ladies"

The Quilt Squad
After long arming the background on the girls, I loaded a small sampler top I was going to use in class. Class? Yeah, if I ever get the chance to teach quilting, this will be a nice little top to show examples of.

On the mower this afternoon, but I'll putter around here this morning doing who knows what.

First Time in Seven Summers

Yesterday turned out to be a half day of work for me. Jim got home around lunch time towing this behind the truck. Once we got through lunch...
