Life In Pieces: What's Up on the Design Wall and What's Not
The summer allergies are still hanging on, but it wasn't so bad this weekend. A lot of sneezing, but I've not needed quite so many tissues....| kate-life-in-pieces.blogspot.com
My Saturday sewing time started off with a review of what was on my plate for the rest of this year. Particularly my responsibilities with the guild BOM. Last Monday started with an email saying the meeting was on Tuesday and I hadn't started the BOM block for October yet. That was first on my to do list when I got to the sewing room on Monday. I finished the black Inverted Star block and a couple of the saw tooth star blocks just in time for the meeting. I finished the rest yesterday. | Life In Pieces
Physically, I'm finally back home after a week and half of moving and hanging out with Grad Girl. I'm glad to be back home. Though I'll miss Grad Girl and Queenie, but I'll see them again in late October. We weren't able to load the cars with all off Grad Girl's stuff that got moved home. So I'll make another long weekend trip sometime next month to take her the stuff that didn't fit in the cars.| Life In Pieces
Though I've not spent a lot of time in the sewing room the last couple of weeks, there has been some planning going on here and there. The Meadow Mist Designs Magnificent Mystery kicked off back in July with the fabric requirements. I don't usually start cutting the fabrics till the first set of block instructions come out, which happen Thursday this week. I've been pulling fabrics and putting them back, but I think this weekend I reached my final selection. | Life In Pieces
It was nice to get back to the sewing room on Sunday. After a week away from home, the first decision was to decide what to work on. I finished off the August inverted star block for the guild BOM so I was free to work on something else. Since I'd really like to get another finish in soon, the project box with the quilted Kate's Choice blocks was pulled off the shelf. First step was to cut the sashing strips for the front and back of the quilt and attach those. | Life In Pieces

It was a slow, stay around the house kind of weekend. We went to church and that's about it. Most of my weekend was spent in my sewing room. My focus was to make some good progress on my "quilt as you go" project, Kate's Choice. | Life In Pieces
We all expected an adjustment with Grad Girl moving home till she finds a job. It's not so much having Grad Girl home, she's pretty self sufficient. But her cat, Queenie, has had a harder time adjusting. I think she's finally getting over the stress of moving. But probably, it's that she's gotten us through the initial training of having a cat running the home. | Life In Pieces
