Somehow I have let myself get off track (again!) and haven't touched my January UFO yet.
Well, I did do a little practicing on my white board, but you can see I need to do a lot more practicing!

| Mr. Moosebay doesn't think these look anything like spider webs--maybe he's right??!! |
 |
| Another thing that side-tracked me was using up my microwavable batting. I wanted to make a few microwavable bowls as gifts, and while I was at it, I finally made myself a potato bag. Years ago, I had planned to make a bunch of these to sell at our guild quilt show--never happened. And never will. Now I have a couple yards of potato fabric to add to my "to be sold" pile. Yeesh. |
 |
| In the bag with the batting, was a pattern for a tortilla warmer and I had just enough batting left over to make myself one of those too. I haven't tried it out yet--hope it works! |

| The first week of blocks for the 365 Challenge. One week down--51 to go!! |
 |
| I'm still working on embellishing my How Does Your Garden Grow leaves--then I will force myself to do the sunflower seeds--I've been avoiding them! |
You certainly have been busy. Let us know how the tortilla warmer works and where we can find the pattern.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think we all do that sometimes...just not enough hours ina day to do everything we want to do huh!! I'm still in love with your garden....
ReplyDeleteI think it get harder and harder to get things done. It can't be that I am getting older and older. Have fun stitching today
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the links I didnt know you could get microwave wadding and I have seen those bowls, but never had a pattern, so greatly appreciate it! Love your little blue blocks. I was so tempted, but know I will never keep up, so going to enjoy watching your progress instead.
ReplyDeleteI resisted the 365 Challenge even tho' I really like it. Good luck on those sunflower seeds...they are healthy, you know!
ReplyDeleteSomewhere along the line, I read that the potato bags were dangerous to use in a microwave. Fire hazard. Thus I never made one. Have you heard that?
ReplyDeleteI think designs always look better stitched on the quilt than they did on the white board. Have you searched the web for a spiderweb design that hubby might okay? : )
ReplyDeleteThat potato fabric is a hoot.
Oh, you are one of the brave ones tackling that 365 challenge. Kudos to you! Looks great so far!
I had never heard of microwavable batting... sounds interesting! Hope the tortilla warmer works! Good luck with your quilting... the design looks very interesting and I like it! Christine x
ReplyDeleteI have done the bowls, potato bags, but not the tortilla warmer...where is the pattern? To cute.
ReplyDeleteDUhhhhhh all I have to do is click on the link....thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat work with the start to the 365 blocks - and I gather these are the easy ones. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have been saving the 365 blocks but haven't started them...yet. :) Your blocks look great. Hopefully, you will persevere and get your sunflower seeds completed.
