Finally, the List!

 It's just sad when it takes over a week to make a list.  I did finally make a list on Saturday.  Here goes:

1.  Quilt Salt Water Taffy

2.  Quilt Kitties in the Christmas Tree

3.  Make gift exchange gift (for an online quilting group I'm in)

4.  Fix Deb's bag

5.  Make Block Lotto Blocks

6.  Work on Sarah's tree blocks

7.  Unpack/measure/etc stuff from estate sale

8.  Zipper bags

The estate sale on Friday was fun.  I was glad though that I had more planned for the trip than just the estate sale.  We arrived 10 minutes after it was supposed to open (we're thinking they opened early) and found people already carrying out totes of stuff.  I did get a few things though.  

I also got to meet up with my dad and cousin, Melinda, and aunt Carol Ann, and I dragged cousins, Pam and Susie there with me.  We had a good time.  I made them stop for a photo after lunch at Cheddars.

This is the bag I need to fix for my sister.  I made it and she ripped out the strap.  I think she likes it, so asked if it could be fixed.  I have it ripped out and just need to sit down with some patience at the machine and sew everything back together.

And here is the haul from the estate sale............ This bag of pinks was only $3.  I'm not crazy about the panel, but my pink tub doth overflow now.  (It's not a big tub cuz pink really isn't my color so it didn't take much to make it overflow.)

This was my $5 bag.  It's mostly reproduction Civil War fabrics and my tub of those was already bulging, so not quite sure what possessed me, but it was a lot of fabric for $5.  There were a couple of yard pieces too.

And I gave $5 for this bag of St. Pats stuff.  It's already pieced so I just need to quilt it.  There is a wall hanging, table runner, and pillow.  There is even a yard of the black shamrock fabric to use as binding.  I have no St. Pats quilted stuff because I never seem to find fabric that I like.  This seemed like a very simple and inexpensive solution.  And it means I'm already working on creating next year's UFO list.

Well, I need to head to the sewing room to at least get a quilt loaded before piano lessons start.  Maybe if I stayed home I would get more done. 😕  Go figure.
