There's been sewing going on

The washing machine broke on the last load Monday evening, so no laundry going on here this weekend. Hubby kept forgetting to call the repairman, so I guess it's a good thing we both have 2 weeks worth of work clothes!

Since no laundry can be done, might as well sew. I got the second installment of my Windy Day quilt this week, so I came home last night and cut out month one and month 2. The first picture is the blocks from month 2, the second the center of the quilt which has been waiting a month for me to cut out and sew. I have to confess there was as much unsewing on month one and there was sewing. Just couldn't get my head around the directions. But perservere I did, and I love the way it turned out. My son has claimed this one for his double bed. And he is willing to wait a year for the top to be completed. Now I can await delivery of the Civil War Quilt blocks (5 a month). It should be delivered this week. Guess I'll have to catch up on laundry before I can start them.

I did get Baylee's quilt ripped up last weekend. Tomorrow, between housework and rest, I will attempt to correct the spelling of her name and get the top reassembled. I purchased the backing for it last week, so I should complete it next weekend, if I get it reassembled.

The pinwheel quilt I started several months ago got worked on also today. I got all the blocks trimmed and the first top row pinned and ready to rip through the machine. I started to work on it a few minutes ago, but realized my back was screaming at me after sitting at the machine since 9:00 am. So I took some Aleve and decided it was a good time to post.

I'll try to post progress report tomorrow to keep me honest about my work.

This week is going to be a busy one. My nephew who is in the Air Force is finally getting to go home for a short visit before his first assignment. He hasn't been home since he left for basic in December. He graduated from his technical training at Lackland a couple of weeks ago and got his assignment Friday. He got his first choice - Washington, DC. He is flying into New Orleans Monday and headed home to Mississippi on Tuesday or Wednesday. Don't know how long he'll be in before he has to be in DC, but guess I'll find out Monday.

I have a workshop to attend for work on Tuesday and on Wednesday I'll sit the COS-C exam to obtain my certification as an OASIS specialist. Since the company is paying for me to sit the exam, I'll be studying hard this weekend and on Monday and Tuesday nights. Guess I'll have to schedule some study time for tomorrow, cuz I don't see it happening today. This was a "Susan" day.

Hubby should be home from the camp with fresh crabs (YUK) and redfish (YUM) soon. I know what we'll be eating tomorrow and Monday. Crabs on Sunday and redfish on Monday. Guess I'll have to find something else to eat tomorrow. I'll probably fix something no one but me will eat, since that is the only time I get to cook MY favorites (like chicken fried steak, Chicken and dumplings, potatoes and onions....) I'm getting hungry already.

See ya'll tomorrow.
