Tuesday Therapy

I went into work early this morning because the weather was DSC05206supposed to get bad in the afternoon.  It’s been steadily snowing since last night.  I finished with my work around 10:00 so at 10:30 I headed home.  The roads weren’t very good, but I took it slow and thankfully there weren’t too many other people on the road at that time.  When I got home I shoveled off the porch and in front of the garage doors in case my FIL came over to plow.

Then it was time for some therapy…sewing and knitting therapy that is!  First I made the binding for Baby Here and sewed it to the front.  (Sorry, no picture of the binding.)  I started hand-sewing it to the back. 

DSC05207When I needed a break, I decided to make the backing for Recipe for Friendship since I want to get that quilted this weekend.  After all of that, I needed a little break so sat down to watch some programs that were on the DVR and knit another couple rounds on my sock.  Two more inches to go and I’ll be ready for the next class.

DSC05209Lastly, I worked on the “T” blocks (as I call them) for Morning Splash.  I really wanted to start a new stash project, but made myself work on these instead.  They’re coming together better than the first time I tried making them, but I don’t foresee making these after this quilt is done.

I think I made a LOT of progress during my therapy session.  I have more therapy sessions scheduled for the weekend!  ;0)

Weekend Quilts is Here!

Looky what was in our mailbox today…my copy of Weekend Quilts by Judy Laquidara!  Now I need to get caught up with my BOMs and Morning Splash so I can start one.  I’m thinking Lacy Lou or Winter Break.

I started by finishing the Month 3 Cobblestone Lane blocks.  I’m caught up with that BOM for now.

We’re supposed to get snow tonight.  The total is questionable since each radio/news station says something different.  The last I heard they said 7-10 inches for our area.  I’ll see what it looks like in the morning, but I’ll probably work until noon and then head home since it’s supposed to snow heavier in the afternoon.  I’ll work on the binding for Square Dance and Baby Here if I do get home early.

Toe & Partial Foot

I've made great progress on my sock.  I'm halfway done with my homework, which is to get the foot done so we can work on the heel at the next class.  Of course, Sonny had to stick his pink nose in and check it out.  You can see the ribbing better in this picture.  Sorry the picture still is a little blurry.  For whatever reason I can't seem to get the picture to focus decent on the sock.
