Update on To-Do List
Here is the list I posted a couple of weeks ago, with updates!
- buy backing for Seth's quilt Done! I got a pretty, bright orange. I love it.
- buy batting for Seth's quilt Done! And I have it washed and basted. It's just waiting to be quilted.
- get Seth's quilt done by Christmas! (I saw a sign over the weekend saying it's only 67 days 'til Christmas! So it's less than that now! Yowzers!!) I really need to get it done by Thanksgiving because we're going to move Seth into the blue room then, but I really, really doubt that's going to happen! Thanksgiving is in a week! And I'll have guests starting on Sunday. I'm sure Saturday will be a blur of cleaning, so I just don't see it getting done. . . .
- plan Nanette's next t-shirt quilt Done, and she gave me the go-ahead to start!
- plan Lyla's quilt I looked at some patterns one day at JoAnn's, but nothing officially planned so far.
- sew a quilt top for Rebecca's new baby (I have it cut, just need to get it together. It is called Flocks of Geese and it is going to be really pretty, I think. It would be nice to get this done by Christmas, but I'm not sure that's do-able.) I have worked on this, but the top still isn't done. . . .
- finish my cards Done!
- make up some sentiment cards for my mom Done!
- make cards for Jason - I have a great design in mind! I have the bulk of the work done, but I still have to put the cards together. They were not drying very well. I should check them out - I haven't looked at them since Sunday. Maybe the silver is dry by now!

Update
This weekend, I finally bought batting and backing for Seth's quilt. It is now washed and ready to go! Yay! Maybe I will manage to get it done by Christmas! I'm still piecing the quilt for Rebecca's new baby, but it will go pretty quickly if I can just sit down and focus. I also planned Nanette's next t-shirt quilt, but I'm not sure if she wants me to start it yet, so that's on hold. I guess I will focus on Maya and Seth's quilts, and get them done hopefully soon, and then next year I can focus on Lyla's baby quilt! I still haven't picked a design for it! I need to do that. I looked at some books at JoAnn's and saw some very cute patterns. . . .
