Another sluggish week, but I am getting back into the sewing groove. I realized that part of my problem is that I do not have work prepped to go when I don't want to think about what to do. I know I will need a lot more applique hearts for the blue medallion quilt, so I will work on prepping those. That is something I can prep and sew even if the sewing table is mostly covered in scrapbook stuff.

As much as I have been wanting to finish the New & Improved D9P, I couldn't because I had no where to sandwich it. We are working on giving the office/guest room more privacy. This involves changing out the double doors with window panes into a real wall with a real door which involves a lot of dry wall dust in the space where I usually sandwich quilts. Since we were having family over for the 4th, I took advantage of the lull in work and did a heavy duty cleaning and then sandwiched it before I got distracted with something else. Whew.

My numbers were not quite right and I had to add a sliver of backing to one side before starting quilting, but l didn't agonize over perfection. I am just trying to finish. For a brief moment I thought I'd finish this Red, White, and Blue quilt on July 4th, but after cleaning, cooking, hosting I just ran out of steam. It was nice to have some down time with family even though I have to remind myself that it is okay to take the down time.

Having something you can work on when you are between big projects does help get your time in each day. Sounds like you had a wonderful 4th. Happy stitching this week.
