    Default Non-Flash sewing for the week

    OK, so this isn't flash sewing, but non-flash sewing. What does everyone hope to accomplish this week? Those UFO's staring at you? A present that you need to get in the mail this week? Something for Thanksgiving?

    My list: Finish my IQ project. Start and Finish my mug rug. Get my Secret Santa package in the mail. And then start and finish a Thanksgiving table runner.

    What's on your list?

    By the end of the week I want to be able to say I am quilting my IQ. Other than that I have a few gifts to pick up for my secret swap box and then get that ready to go.

    It just feels like the holidays are sneaking up on me so fast this year. I am always behind!

    I don't think the speed of holidays coming ever slows down! I might start my presents for next year's Christmas in January. Along with all my craft fair projects - why did I think I could do craft fairs this year with only a month's notice?

    My list is too long to mention. But since you asked about this week, well it's work during the day and then get two quilts done so I can get them to the quilters this weekend and to top it all off, I only have three good nights to sew. Tonight I have some errands to run so I will be sewing about 9:30 100 until whenever and then I have an obligation tomorrow night so definately no sewing tomorrow. So it gets done when it gets done. Can't stress over it or nothing will get done.

    Have a good week.

    I still have my last finished top on the design wall because I am procrastinating about what color backing to get. I've been using my embroidery machine to test out some new designs I got. Took some test designs I did last year and made them into hotpads and practiced my slip stitch and blind hem stitching by hand. Been practicing my FMQ. I got one quilt sandwiched and waiting for me to feel confident enough to start quilting it. Maybe next week I'll start quilting it or maybe not.

    I'm working on a Sashiko panel and it is taking a lot longer than I expected. So that is my after-work evening handiwork when the TV is on.

    I plan to quilt my IQ project, and finish a gift I started making today. LOL. I have some things to be mailed to forum members packaged and ready to go to the P.O. I'm meeting two really great women for lunch, one tomorrow and one on Wed. Later in the week I want to shop for my Thanksgiving dinner.

    it's a long one -

    -finish up swap items and get ready to mail

    -start and finish a quilt for Christmas gift (from LAST YEAR!)

    -Quilt another top that was pieced for a Christmas gift last year.

    Finish a quilt top and quilt yet another leftover from last Christmas.

    16 Pillowcases ( will have some help with these, but got to deliver them tomorrow)

    Need to make a table runner for a Christmas gift

    Finish two stockings, including counted cross stitch cuffs.

    It's only mid-November - I have PLENTY of time!

    Oh, yeah, and work twelve hours a day....

    and almost forgot - DS is in a weekend baseball tournament and hour north of here and I work a half hour in the other direction. Yes. It will be an easy week.

    My week is planned for finishing my Iron Quilt challenge, and finishing up some Christmas presents with my granddaughter on Saturday.
