What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Hi Quilty Friends! I’m popping in with a short and sweet update. As you can see below, I’ve officially finished the Cake Stand blocks I was working on last week. 

 Last week's goal was to finish 34 Cake Stand quilt blocks by Monday, two days ago.  I'm two days late posting and still have not finished them.  I knew when setting the goal that it was going to be a tough one to accomplish but challenges are fun, right?  I also had a veggie garden to weed, harvest and preserve.  Along with the normal summer chores, housework, errands and Mr. Podunk was having an out patient surgery on his foot.  We'll talk more about his foot later.  To prepare for his surgery I needed something to do ...

 All the pink Yo-Yos are finished...169 Yo-Yos completed! Sure, I'm only 27 days into a two year plan and already behind by 100 Yo-Yos, but at least I now have a clear baseline for what I can achieve each day.  Breaking it down day by day seems a bit unrealistic for such a long-term project. It’ll be interesting to see how much progress is made a year from now. Who knows, I might even get it completely finished... HAHA!

 Most of us have a bucket list of quilts we dream of making someday, but let’s be honest, my quilty brain is like a squirrel on caffeine. This year’s mission to tackle UFOs has been surprisingly successful with seven finished.  Starting another long-term project probably isn’t the smartest move. Then again, if I don’t start them now, they'll just be on the list forever...so here we go!
