Design Wall Monday and Weekly Goals

Saturday was spent sewing with Lorri2Rs at the June E Nylen Cancer Center Quiltin' Bee fundraiser.  I did lots of socializing and some sewing.  I added the blue strips to 90 blocks I've been working on.

These blocks are now ready to go on the wall.  Please see everyone's design wall posts at Patchwork Times.

Monday is when I set weekly goals.  Let's see how last week's goals did.

Another ambitious list.

On the way home from Iowa I stopped to visit the grandsons.  I do not like "fiddly" sewing projects.  I HATE to make bags but Lorri2Rs helped me make little "snap" bags.  The Sew Day had four demonstrations and these bags were one of them.  They also gave everyone a kit for each project they demoed.  I made little Valentine Day bags for the boys and stopped at the Dollar Store for fun things to put in them.

Asher is fascinated with tiny soft plastic lizards/frogs.  I told Mason and Asher I made them bags for Valentine's Day because I love them, explaining about Valentine's Day/love/gifts.  Told Asher (who is always losing his lizards and is heartbroken) that his bag is a "lizard house" and he can keep his lizards in it.  He carried his bag around with him all evening.  Remember the balloons with the rubber band handles that you "punch"?  Found them at the Dollar Store--they lasted all evening so for $.50 they were a bargain.

The weather is dreary and overcast, but warmer.  I am counting the days down until spring!
