Yesterday didn't go exactly as planned but I will fill you in on that in a few minutes. First off...I pieced a few string blocks! :) I'm not sure if this is a project that I will work on constantly or just in between other projects. This is an "anything goes" Quilt.
Here is my big string tub that I posted a pic of yesterday. It is up past my knees. Just whatever that I pull out goes in the blocks. I was discussing this with one of the boys and they said, "so it's kind of like a Depression era quilt, right? LOL! Yes....nothing goes to waste. So I guess I will lovingly call this my "Depression Quilt" So far you can't even tell that I have used any out of this tub.
While working on these other projects the past few days, I have ended up with 14 more Windmills. I have been piecing the Windmills as my leader and ender project. I need a total of 528 windmill blocks and I now have 290...so I need 238 more to go. :)
So my plan for today is to get the borders sewn on the Churn Dash quilt top and the Now or Later quilt top. I have the borders cut, just not sewn on. I want to get that done today and also work on a few more String Blocks.
I had mentioned that Hunter had an orthodontist Appointment really early yesterday. His appointment was at 8:40am and it's almost a 2-hour drive. Richard was getting ready to leave for work and the phone rang at 5:30am and it was a recorded message from the orthodontist office saying that I needed to call and reschedule his appointment. I've never had a doctor's office call that early of the morning to reschedule. LOL! It was just weird. :) So anyway...I still need to reschedule that appointment for him.
There wasn't school yesterday or today. Actually he hasn't had school all week because of the cold temps. I let his sleep in a little while yesterday since his appointment was canceled and then made him go with me to the grocery store. LOL! He was not happy. :)
By-the-way...today my brother turns 50!!! LOL! John is actually 4 years older than I am and I have to say that he is the best big brother in the world. There are 3 of us siblings and we are extremely close and I love that. He loves to give me a hard time but I guess that is what big brothers do. LOL! He even tells everyone that I am the oldest. I've even had people tell me that they thought I was the oldest because John had told them that a few years back. LOL! Crazy thing. :)
