WIP Wednesday–Retreat Report
Now, I didn’t even think to take pictures at the retreat. Shame on me! I feel like I did well. I worked on making items for my booth. I finished 8 covered notebooks, 5 doll blankets, and 4 pocket tissue covers. I also cut 5 inch squares from Valentines fabric and lined them to sew…
WIP Wednesday–New Project
Yes, I’ve done it again, I’ve found something new to make. A kind woman at church gave me the bag of yarn to make prayer shawls, as I mentioned in last week’s post. But, she also gave a bag for me. I knew she put in cotton yarn for the washcloths I crochet. I didn’t…
WIP Wednesday–Combination
Yes, I missed a week yet again. Just another of those week’s where I felt that I didn’t have enough to show to write up a post. I’ve been busy since last Wedneday and my WIP’s are moving along. Let’s look at my to-do list from 2 week’s ago. Finish current jigsaw puzzle–still not done,…
WIP Wednesday–Rugs
Let’s look at the to-do list from 2 weeks ago, as once again I missed doing a post last week. Finish quilting the Arkansas Crossroads quilt, and get the binding sewn on my machine. –This is on hold as I had bobbin issues and lost motivation due to having so much ripping to do. Get…
WIP Wednesday–Bad Batting

WIP Wednesday–Slacking
Again I missed doing a post last week because I just didn’t have any progress to report. I thought of not doing a post this week for the same reason. I have done things—finished some double towel scarves, crocheted some dish scrubbies, finished the Fields of Green rug, made some doll blankets and pillows. All…
WIP Wednesday–Paused
I didn’t do a post last Wednesday because all sewing on my part was paused. I only worked on jigsaw puzzles. It was a great break, but I need now to get back to work. It was only 2 days ago that I finally took the project box out of my van with the quilt…
WIP Wednesday–Retreat Report
First, let me see what I’ve gotten done since the retreat– I made a few sets of doll pillows to go with the doll blankets in my booth. I’ve crocheted several dish scrubbies to put in my booth. And, I sewed more green strips together for the Fields of Green rug. I also started a…
