August RSC13

Here is my August block. 

Ripping complete

Another one bites the dust.     

Time to RIP RIP RIP

I got my charm along together Tuesday night. Got home showed my DH. and apparently I picked up the halves wrong and sewed it together. The center looks cool but it is wrong do I have to rip it out. Darn. I hate ripping.    

Sunday sewing

I made progress Sunday morning and I had big plans for sewing after church. After a short nap I planned to get a lot done. Well that didn't happen. We had some big thunder and bright hot sunshine and lost power, apparently everyone did, for 4 + hours.  It finally came back on about 7:00 ish.   Oh well. Hubby said God knew I needed to rest.  And I did.    But tonight I've got some sewing to finish.    I am almost done with my quilt top. And then I have to get that baby quilt put together.   

Saturday progress.. Sunday completion. Well I hope anyway..

I was able to get the five blocks completed for what will be a quilt for "Ely Owen Loyd". He should make his first appearance in November.  We are all anxious to meet him.  I have decided how I am going to lay it all out by adding a thin border to 10" blocks from a layer cake matching the print fabric to make it a 3 x 3 layout.  I also have a plan for the back. I just hope I have enough of the print fabric to get it made.  Hopefully today I will get that completed and sewn together.

However, I have to finish sewing the rows together to for second half of the diamond blocks.  I had worked so hard getting all 10 rows layer out and my doggies came to visit. And you know how they are.... any fabric on the floor they have to lay on it..  Yep they made a mess and I had to redo my layout.  But I got things pinned together so it should go faster.  I hope it does anyway.

And I have to get to my quilter and practice practice practice.

Well if I am going to get all this done today I better get started.  Have a blessed day.
