No Listed Goals.  Jury duty was on Tuesday and while I didn’t get picked for a jury (my case was settled before the jury process started. I did have to wait around all day because though I was slated to start in the morning, I guess settling took a bit longer and I had to wait until the afternoon).  I was starting to feel icky that morning, but was hitting a full-blown cold by the afternoon.

It was bound to happen.  A week when I didn’t get any of my listed goals done.  Why?  I have many excuses… lol.  Monday was a holiday.  Tuesday, Both of my kids were home from school sick (nasty VOG-related allergies) but we did make a quick run to get my new free motion foot and I purchased some 9-foot boards for my basting technique.  I will eat my words and say the foot was the problem for my FMQ woes.  Wednesday, my son was home sick again, and I got Coconut Shave Ice quilted and bound.  Thursday I don’t remember what I did – probably caught up on housework and I am blocking it out of my mind , but my 20 gross of safety pins came in.  Friday, I sandwiched Geometric.  Saturday, it was quilted, and Sunday I bound it.  So though I didn’t get things on my list done, I did get plenty done.!

I am not putting anything on my “to-do” list this week.  I have guild tonight and I have to spend today prepping for it (I am the VP and in charge of Membership so I have to prep the sign-in sheets and print membership cards, etc.)

Tuesday I have to report to Jury Duty (if when I call today after 5pm and they still need me to report).  If I don’t have to go to Jury Duty, I will work on last week’s goals plus add another 10 arrowhead blocks.

I hope your week is productive!

1. Bind Awesome!The binding is attached and it just needs to be sewn down. I will do this on Tuesday at the Tuesday Bee.

DONE!  I got it done at the Tuesday Bee – I was taking the last stitches as the others were putting the tables away.  I felt bad for not helping, but I really wanted to get the binding done since I had only a few inches left.

2. Purple Purses.I have two purses to make for “late Christmas Gifts” for the girls I carpool to and from school.

DONE!  I got them done on Friday.  I will post pictures this week after I give them to the girls.

3. Piece the backing for Geometric. I need to piece the backing for my #5 UFO for the challenge.

DONE! I got this done on Thursday. I used leftovers from the quilt top and some Bella Solid yardage I had. I forgot how much it takes to back a king-sized quilt!

4. Make 5 Arrowhead blocks.If I don’t do this each week, I will never get this UFO done.

DONE!  I got this done on Wednesday.  No photos because my camera battery needed charging and I didn’t charge it until Friday night.

Again, not much scheduled, but if I get more done, then I will be happy. The big things that need to get done are listed.

I want to go to water aerobics four days this week. I would go every day this week (M,T, W, T, F, S), but I have the Tuesday bee and the Sassy S&B Quilters Bee is on Saturday. I am looking forward to sewing with the gals. I don’t know what I want to work on yet for the bee. I might just take Geometric to sandwich since I will need two tables together to sandwich it.

I wasn’t able to go to aerobics but two times last week.  Monday and Thursday.  Tuesday and Saturdays were bees, Wednesday I didn’t feel very well and Friday was just too dang cold.  I woke up and it was 62 degrees.  Ok.  You might not think that is cold, but for here it is; and the pools are outdoors and run about 10 –15 degrees cooler than outside.

Geometric didn’t get sandwiched on Saturday.  I didn’t have enough safety pins to do it.  I realized this Wednesday and started quilting on my son’s quilt Coconut Shave Ice.  I got about 1/3 of the way done and it was driving me crazy; the thread kept breaking, it kept skipping stitches.  I tried everything I could think of.  I called the repairman on Saturday and he thinks my presser foot is not working well.  We will see.  I will have to wait until Wednesday to go pick another up.

Saturday I did start working on my Terrain Quilt though.  I also got one of the blocks for the 2011 Designer Mystery completed – photos to follow.

I am not going to put completing the quilting on Coconut Shave Ice and sandwiching Geometric.  I am not convinced that the new free-motion foot will solve my problem with the quilting.  I ordered two   Twenty gross (20 x 1, 444  144) safety pins today, but I don’t know when they will come in – so that isn’t on this week’s goal.

For my goal of aerobics, I am going to shoot for three days – it has been really chilly in the mornings and class is at 9am.

I hope you have a very productive week too!

I did get all my goals done. As a recap, they were

1. Finish prep-work for for my Folded Log Cabins – DONE!
2. Sandwich “Paris in the Fall” – DONE!
3. Cut out “Terrain” – DONE

What else did I get done? 

My machine was ready to be picked up on Wednesday.  It made me so happy!

I got four block of the month blocks for my guild completed.  I also completed from start to finish, my 12 Days of Christmas quilt.  The last thing I got completed was quilting the last half of my Awesome! quilt.  I had quilted half of it before my machine had to go in for service.

I also went back to water aerobics for three days this week. I was so sore.  But it was a good sore.

1.  Bind Awesome! The binding is attached and it just needs to be sewn down.  I will do this on Tuesday at the Tuesday Bee.

2.  Purple Purses.  I have two purses to make for “late Christmas Gifts” for the girls I carpool to and from school. 

3.  Piece the backing for Geometric.  I need to piece the backing for my #5 UFO for the challenge. 

4. Make 5 Arrowhead blocks.  If I don’t do this each week, I will never get this UFO done.

I have missed doing my “Monday Milestones” posts.  I like having lists of things to accomplish during the week.

A few changes from last year.  I am not going to do the Mr.Linky thing again, it just got too much.

Since my machine will be in for service most of the week, I am only going to have a few goals.

1.  Finish prep-work for for my Folded Log Cabins
2.  Sandwich “Paris in the Fall”
3.  Cut out “Terrain”

If I get more done, that would be great, but I am not going to plan that much for this week.
