CW challenge for anyone. Guide on 1st post

[Nancy R.]

Wow, you certainly have been productive! I finished my yesterday quilt yesterday. :lol:

[Lois B.]

Lorna, Maureen & Anne, Your recent comments & questions have all rung a bell with me. I have finished my CW challenge except for the border which will be done when I find a certain color of rattail chord. Have I said too much? I will post 9/1 regardless. I have also been successful finishing quite a number of UFO's… 2 wall hangings ( 1 for me and 1 for local library silent auction. Finished quilting my 2nd Laura Nowns quilt. And some other projects which would be more interesting if I had pictures so I'll spare you.

Maureen and Anne your comments about getting the sewing room in order called my name too. I must say the recent broken elbow with doctors directions to keep it mobile with very light work gave me the permission I needed to get my focus out of the garden and into the sewing room. I've had some success with a new way for me to focus my attention. I may need to write a blog about it. My ADD symptoms are hard to deal with and I manage to make messes quite frequently that interfere with my creativity. I so much wanted to do the "15 minutes" of play everyday that a recent TQS suggested, but I ended up creating so much mess I couldn't get my attention focused back on the real work of the day. I think I feel a blog comming on.

Wendy, Thank you so much for offering the "Yesterday Challenge". I can't wait to see what everyone has done.

Messiness comes with creativity Lois enjoy it.

I must say it focuses me to have a good clean up before starting a project I love to see my work top and fabric all sorted in colours and tones before it gets flung on the floor and jumbled up again :roll:

So why aren't you all posting pictures of your non 'yesterday' projects

I bought some wooden stamps at FOQ so am trying them out on a fabric postcard then fmq and hand embroidery then a horse quilt for my niece.

And card

Looks good, Wendy. Those stamps are so much fun

[Norma H.]

Well the reason I have no pictures of my non-challenge work is because none is done. I am two months behind on this years' BOM, technically--July is almost quilted--August has not even been started. BUT, I do have my challenge piece done.

[Susan B.]

I have an for my "yesterday" quilt.

Wendy, I thought we weren't supposed to post pictures until September 1. Are you sure you wouldn't like to extend it a month? Everything gets extended a month.

Ritzy, August BOM is much easier than July.

[wendy w.]

September Sue but I'm fascinated by everything else you've been making

[E.M. T.]

I think it's safe for me to say I'm not gonna make the dead line on this one !

[Geneva C.]

Since moving in late May, making a 90" x90" bed quilt for one guest room and the Happiness quilt, plus a donation quilt for a friend's Make a wish event, and other stuff.... I wasn't sure I'd get my yesterday quilt done. We have 3 of 4 kids coming for a week this Wednesday so I knew it had to be done this weekend. I did it! Yay! I'll sneak some time on the computer next Monday to post it. Can't wait to see what everyone else is doing. Thanks Wendy for offering this challenge and keeping us all talking and sharing.

I love TQS and the friends I've made. Thank you!

Enjoying reading all the posts. Lois, good for you. Connie - way to go!

I saw something the other day and got all excited about it and started going through my stash like a mad woman. Lois, I think I might have ADD too .
Things were flying all over with creative juices flowing and the thrill of '"Hey - I haven't tried that colourway yet". Then I joined a Craftsy class I've been waiting to go on sale, Boy, it feels good to be feeling good! I'm gonna get lots of stuff done, do a new quilt almost every day - just don't stop to eat or sleep. I even went to the computer and filled an on line cart with lots of new stuff (mostly Kaffe Fasset or B. Marbly - all great stuff) ..... and just as I was thinking about typing in my 'checkout' info - I had a moment.
:idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

The light bulb went on... and I saw my sewing room. Hard to describe, but I responded dutifully by then taking about 8 - 9 hours cleaning and organizing and I'm not finished yet. BUT I do feel good about it, and restrained myself from beginning a new project. Didn't I say I couldn't do the CW challenge, because I had too many UFOs and mug rugs to do? Yes, I did.

Well, three mug rug tops are done - not sure if I should finish all of them and then mail, or mail as I go?

[Robin G.]

Wow, Terrie! You are feeling better! I'm really pleased to hear it! Enjoy your new-found energy and ambition!!

[Robin G.]

[quote="suehenyon"]I have an for my "yesterday" quilt.

Susan, what does this mean? :?

[wendy w.]

But Terrie did your finger slip and press the confirm order button :lol:

Marilyn sit in the corner :lol:

[Susan B.]

oops, I meant to say I have an idea for my yesterday quilt.

We've had a spectacular summer here in Maryland for the first time in two decades. It's hard to come indoors in balmy, breezy weather, so I'm not making as much progress on some projects as on others .

[Susan B.]

No Wendy, but I've 'saved' the cart! I peeked at it last night...just peeked.
