Howdy blog, oh, how I’ve missed you this past week. *hugs her monitor* LOL! Anyhoo….it’s Tuesday and I’m blogging about all of the quilty stuff that I have in the works.
Sangria Fizz Quilt needs to be quilted
Asterisk Quilt blocks need to be made
T-shirt quilt is a labor of love over time (since it’s for me)
Buzz Saw Quilt
I’ve not been able to move forward very quickly on sewing projects b/c my brain has been focused on my new job. So, since I work over-night tomorrow….I will need to stay up over-night tonight. And, I’m gonna SEW tonight in my sewing room while the whole house is uber-quiet! I’m gonna try to crank out the Buzz Saw quilt!
I’m loving everyone who is joining in our Christmas in July Blitz! The drawing is coming sooon!

Holy Cow, sorry I’m late with my Christmas in July post, y’all. But, life has gotten in the way of my quilting this week. LOL! I’ve started my new job with the Missouri Lions Eye Banks and am loving it. It is sooooo rewarding, but very taxing on the ol’ brain. :)
Anyhooo…..Looks like we’ve got lots of Christmas in July blogs to visit. Have you been visiting others who have joined us? Do so and leave encouraging comments!
My Buzz Saw Quilt, I’ve completed 3 WHOLE blocks. LOL! I’ve realized that I will NOT reach my goal of getting 2 Christmas quilt tops done this month, but am hoping to push through and get this quilt top done. :) What’cha think?
3 WHOLE Blocks!
How are you doing?

Have you ever had your whole day mapped out and then have had to totally rearrange it? Well, this happened to me yesterday. As I’m taking the Monkey Dog and Psycho Kitty to the vet, my wonderful Dad calls me to say that he is coming over and gonna landscape my front yard for me. So, the IDIOT, I mean- great daughter that I am……….well, instead of quilting I did YARD WORK in 105 degree heat index yesterday. But, I am now ready to sow some grass seed and with LOTS of prayer and water……I may have grass in my front yard again!
Anyhoo…..I had a choice yesterday to either be irritated that all my plans went to the wayside or to be happy that my Dad spoils me, even at my age. I choose the high road and to be a “spoiled” daughter. LOL!
I can’t wait to hopefully get some sewing in today and tomorrow night and have an AWESOME To Sew Tuesday updates for all of you guys? Have you noticed that we’ve got more peeps signed up for the Christmas in July Blitz? Check out their blogs and offer words of encouragement to them!
