M & M & M

3 M's.....

Later today I will post about the following M's:

Machine....more specifically problems I've had from day one with my LA. I love Wanda and I don't think the problem is with her per se, but with the table and because of her size, how she sits on it. I'm hoping a few of you out there will be able to help or guide me to a solution.

Music.... or why I haven't had as much time to quilt this week as I would have liked. I'm passionate about music in schools and things I've found out this week have my blood boiling. Wish you could see the t-shirt I'm wearing right now....I picked it up at a Field Tournament a couple years ago. In big bold letters on the front it says "Music Is Not An Option." Stay tuned. ;c)

This post is about Bonnie's Mystery Quilt AND stashbusting/UFO progress for the week.

• I cut up scraps/leftovers and cleaned off my cutting table. Probably not more than a yard total. Those went to live in the string or scrap bins.
• I had two guild meetings this week. The BOM's for next month are done and ready to go. (One was 3 - 9 patch blocks, the other 2 rail blocks - hence no photos. ;c)) Fabric was either provided or pulled from scraps and stash.
• Did not purchase fabric! Woo hoo. Did win a bundle of 4 green batik fat quarters at the Sunshine guild meeting. Oh darn. ;c)
  
• Machine quilted my QFAH quilt. I love the way the panto Waterworld looks on it. I did spend some time frogging.... that will be the subject of another post, mentioned above. While quilting it, a fun name came to me. The batik blues and greens remind me so much of the ocean I live next to but they are overshadowed a bit by the white/lt gray batik so....this quilt is "White With Foam." :c) All it needs is binding and a label and UFO #1 for 2008 is done.
• Finished step #5 on the mystery quilt and am half way through step #6. Here is what block #1 looks like. I still need to sew some of the units together but you get the idea. :c) Want to have that done before I leave for Road to California later this week. Please .... send all your powers to resist temptation my way.... I will need them as I stroll through the vendors at Road. LOL

I am a bit disappointed that I missed several days in the blog posting department. That IS one of my goals - to try and post each day. Ah well.... I'll keep trying.
