Day 227 - Jelly Roll Quilt

I completed sewing all of the rows on the jelly roll quilt.  I have pressed it and will store with the strip quilt top, 2 inch square quilt top and the cat quilt top (not sewn this year).  I hope to be able to put all of these together after December.  Might put some borders on some of them too.

Folded  up and waiting for final assembly.

Day 222 - Jelly roll quilt

Sewed 4 more strips onto the quilt.  Only one left to go. 

Haven't pressed it yet and this is not a very good photo...

It is pretty wild looking!

If you really look close you can see the pattern.

Day 221 - Jelly Roll Quilt

Sewed 2 more rows together this morning before work for the ME Jelly Roll quilt.

Day 213 - Assembling quilt tops

Day 184 - Two steps backward, one step forward....

Did some more fine tuning on the shelves: moved some more fabric over to this shelf

and put the gift wrapping supplies on the other shelf.

Here is the second shelf before.

Did I show you the first light cover put on for the basement remodel???

Only one so far but with 7 to go...

Day 183 - The perfect storm...

Monday.  Car not working.  Burned cookies (again) with the new cookie sheets. Work computer got a virus- a bad one (computer guy coming tomorrow to try and fix.)  Son forgot that we were going out to dinnner to celebrate Father's Day as it was one of the few days that both kids weren't working.  Final straw-
I sewed all 42 blocks wrong tonight.  So begins the ripping out.  Time for bed.
