I finished the 5 BOM for Sew Spooky and was anxiously awaiting the finishing kit, month 6. <br />
<br />
Well month 6 is a misnomer! I hand embroidered the original 5 blocks and made the 2 additional blocks and added the sashing for the center section. I then pieced the candy corn borders and added the second border.<br />

I now need to applique 14 bats with 28 eyes onto sections for the next border. To set these borders I will need to make 4 appliqued corner squares. After this is together, then comes the stars to be appliqued onto the borders!</div>

I decided that my new fmily room needed a new quilt. I made up the 1600 inch Jelly Roll from YouTube by the Missouri Quilt Co. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU</a> I added a border and it is waiting to be quilted.</div>

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.<br />

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! <br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomX7t7to_o">www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomX7t7to_o</a><br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
Hope your quilting is pucker less!<br />

I have all sorts of reasons why a project is not finished! Sometimes, I just got bored, but the real reason is I just get sidetracked with all the new and exciting patterns and fabrics. We will not talk about my fabric addiction now...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Maybe it was really a bit of good fortune that The BIG storm Sandy came to town. To prepare, I had to actually clean my studio. I knew from past experience, that we will not mention, that there was a good chance that water would run through the doors and wet anything even close to the floors. SO I took every project and made sure it was in a nice plastic project box and brought the projects, four sewing machines and a serger into my house. I actually purged my scrap stash.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was at that moment, I knew that I had to vow not to buy or start another new project until I completed at least 4 UFOs. Then I would finish a UFO for every new prject I started. Great plan. At that rate, I could actually have a reasonably neat and organized space by 2020! I knew this was doable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The came the storm. No power for 7 long days. Once upon a lifetime, 5 kids ago, I would have thought bathing by candle light was romantic. NO!! Neither is soup and pasta by candle light when it is cold. Also we lost my 98 year old Mother-in-law in the middle of the storm. So all work was put on hold. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well today was the day to start on catching up. I am two months behind on my BOM just to start!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">BUt today I was meeting up with Cheryl Lynch, who published SEW Embellished! She also writes Wednesday Wandering blog.<a href="http://cheryllynchquilts.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-friendnew-shop.html">http://cheryllynchquilts.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-friendnew-shop.html</a> I met her at The Round Bobbin, a fabulous quilting shop in Ambler, PA which is near my home. I made a wonderful friend who introduced me to this gorgeous shop. If you visist Philly, be sure to visist the Round Bobbin just off the PA Turnpike.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Great vow of not buying anything new flew right out the windo! Bought a couple of fat quarters, a new pattern and a 1/4 yard for it and two books and the cutest little Moda Candies, 2 1/2 inch squares. So much for not buying anything new!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well as my childhood heroine said, "Tomorrow is another day!" I promise to work on those Blocks!</span><br />
