Sew Spooky

Yesterday I finished 3 of the Sew Spooky blocks. These blocks have lots of pieces to cut as well as the appliqués.  I found that it is much easier to make sure all my pieces are labeled.  I used the small stickers that you can buy at any office supply, Walmart or Target. I put the pice letter as well as the number of identical pieces on the labels and pinned together when I needed 2 or more cut.  I keep the pieces in order and use a plastic bag to store them if I get interrupted while sewing.


Since I was on a roll, I figured that I should get one Hanukah apron done.  I will have our annual latke fry on Sunday.

Progress

I know I need one of those organizer persons for big time help!  No matter how much I try to get my studio organized, I just have more fabric than space.  I am organized challenged!  If anyone is good at this and has a little time on their hands, p,ease let me know if you live near Philly!

I found all kinds of fabric that I had forgotten.  This is in addition to the UFOs. I found a jelly tool of Quilt Pink 2 with nothing else that could work with it.  Then I remember the t YouTube video on the 1600 quilt made from one jelly roll!  You can find it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomX7t7to_o

Wow!  A 48 x 64 quilt top in about an hour!  I am hoping to get a long armed to quilt it and we will donate it to the local hospital's breast cancer unit.

I also finished block two of Sew Spooky. I plan on cutting Bock three today. I will now be only 2 blocks behind schedule. How do those guild ladies get so much done month after month?

Hope your quilting is pucker less!
