catching up on October

I was a bit busy lately and I did a marathon sewing stint this morning - that I think one of my neighbours interpreted as me having a great party at 10 in the morning with the basses turned way up ... uhh yeah .. I might have to do a quitling session this afternoon and see if she starts complaining again then I know for sure it's me ... I guess I will have to go buy some earplugs for her. Well I did get a good deal of things done by disturbing her peace:

And I also spend some time in the beginning of October drawing patterns and generally haing fun planign quilts I knew there was no chance I woudl ge started this year, well except one of them. The first one is for a "flying geese" hmm bee/swap thingy well and of course I could just use a standard pattern, or any other pattern already out there nooo I had to go and make up my own:

I also had fun drawing up this pattern, and I'm planning on doing it with one of my tartan fabrics (though exactly when I'm goign to it is the unasnwerable question) ... I just need to decided whether I want to use a coordinated solid background or go for good old white ... I am leaning towards the blue, pink, purple, green tartan ...

Lazy Bum Global retreat

The Lazy Bums had a global retreat on Saturday to get us all on the way for the January challenge: get blocks from samplers done (Farmer's wife, just takes 2, ....)

Well I had to work till 4 so I didn't get that much done, but I had some fun choosing scraps for the easier blocks of the FW ... yeah I probably should aim for getting the complicated ones done first, but I didn't feel like doing anything that could possibly frustrate me ....

So these are my 12 new blocks ... I was under the impression I had 14 new ones ... hmmm maybe I forot some pictures, or I'm just bad at counting ...

For the next few days I need to do a bee block, a doll quilt and have fun ... and then it's back to the serious stuff agian, writing papers and essays...
