I have had to force myself to do something the last couple of evenings. Sunday night I managed to get most of the January Country Calendar BOM block completed. If Mum didn't come over to visit this evening, I would have tried to complete it, perhaps tomorrow. I only have to add the borders and embroider the Month on the block. I really want to complete this block before the month is out.
The other project I wanted to get working on was getting the Double Irish Chain Quilt layered and ready for quilting. I managed to get most of it basted.
I would have had it all completed if it wasn't for spending about an hour ordering fabrics from Thousands of Bolts for my one of a kind flip flop bags I am getting ready to make up and sell again this year. I also had a wonderful 45 minute chat with my friend Marsha. She asked me if I received the latest Connecting Threads Catalog. Up to last night I didn't but wished I did as she told me some of the new kits and fabrics and patterns available. But lo and behold my beautiful magazine arrived!!!!!!!! ooooooooh the stuff I wanted to buy!
By the way those post it notes are not mine!!! Mum took a glance through the book tonight and picked out the things she wanted to order! I love having a Mum with an addiction for quilting like I have!
ANYWAY, getting sidetracked, so yeah, by the time 11pm came last night I just didn't have it in me to finish basting the quilt. Not to mention I got caught up watching the tv series 24. I am not a tv person, and could care less if the old 'boob tube' as my Mum once called it is even on! Trevor told me about the show and how good it is. I decided to see what all the hype was about and now I hate to see the hour over and the show done for another week!! Awesome show!!!!!!
So hopefully I will only need another15-20 minutes and the quilt will be basted and ready for free motion quilting! I can't WAIT to get started on it again!
It's hard to tell if we are going our sewing group will meet this Thursday night as forecast is calling for a snow storm. hmmmm I wonder if this could mean a snow day??? I would really love a day to sleep in during the week, then get up and sew all day and all night! We still have another month and a half or so left of the winter season, so we might get a snow day yet!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Well its 11:30pm here. I had every intention to getting to bed earlier tonight, but well that didn't happen! So I am off to la la land now. I have another fun filled work day ahead of me in the morning.
Quiltingly Yours

We're in the deep freeze here in NS too . . . but take heart . . . hubby talked to an "old timer" from NFLD the other day who promised that February will be warm & nice for the maritimes. Here's hoping he's right!
Patchmaker, I sure hope your hubby's "old timer" friend is right :) We tend to get nasty weather in February and March around here!
