This weeks Ode to 30's blocks

I am trying to set and keep my sewing goals.

My goal is to sew two blocks per week from the 30's quilt

This weeks blocks: #3 Block-Devil's Claw
Block #5-Arrowhead

I have sewn Block #4 but it also includes some applique
so I'll finish it another week.

Ode to the 1930's

I've begun the 1930's scrappy quilt called Ode to the 30's.

I hope to do a couple of blocks per week so it doesn't become another UFO! This is block #2 called Wyoming Valley.

I had problems with the center square matching up points.

Decided I was going to do my best on this quilt,

but not stress myself out on perfection.

This is block #1 called Homespun.

The designer recommends making the 12" blocks first,

then working your way down to the 3" blocks,

finishing with the applique blocks.

Doing the construction this way, you are cutting larger pieces out of your fabric,

working down to smaller pieces.

I will run out of 1930-50's fabrics before I finish this quilt

so I guess I will just have to buy more fabric...lol!

New path in my life

For the past couple of years, my weekly schedule has pretty well stayed the same.

Sunday: Church and family day

Monday-Friday: Babysit grandson-clean and sew when I could find the time

Saturday: Run errands and do whatever I missed during the week.

But now, I am on a new path..... My handsome grandson, shown above asleep on his Auntie, is going to daycare 3 days a week

Three days that I can now do other things...what to do first?

I've done a little cleaning...went to a movie with a daughter....

shopped...lunch with ladies from my Church....

Of course, I have a HUGE pile of UFO's just waiting to be finished,

plus a few more landscape and art quilt ideas floating around in my imagination...

but I decided to try and stash bust my container of 1930-1950's fabrics,

so I got out this pattern......

(Sorry about the photo quality...photo is from my phone)

Pop in a movie or some music, and I'm on my way....
