Slacking!

I've been totally slacking when it comes time to blog... and almost everything else these days! However now that spring is here I'm hoping that'll change!
I've been making serious progress on my Sherry Sometimes blanket! I've gotten about half my circles appliqued on!















My Juggernaut blanket is coming along very slowly. I have to do some serious machine applique learning to get those circles just right. So far I get anything but circles.














I've also been working on a Guild Along Block Party Quilt. Its coming along nicely. Aside from the fact that I squared my blocks to 6 inches rather than 6.5 but I figure as long as I make that same mistake all the way through it should be fine. I'll just have to add some sashing and maybe a border or something if its a lot smaller than I was hoping for.















I've also got the material to start a baby blanket for a friend's baby and the materials to make another Boo Davies quilt for someone that my sister works with!

I have also been doing a lot more working out! Stairs are evil!!! My running is coming along. I did still have some knee issues but after making LB watch me run from all angles it seems like it might be form issue. So the stairs should help build up some good muscles and concentrating. All that comes down to slower runs while paying attention. All things that I should be able to do without too much torture!

Cutting Machine!

Yesterday I spent the first part of my morning finishing sewing the strips together for Sherry Sometimes Blanket. Then I went to work cutting those strips into the correct measurements. Now I have tiny mountains of pieces all over my sewing desk and I have a few more strips to cut. It shouldn't be that long until I am all set to start sewing units! I just love that I get to say Units all the time.
I hope to get to the point where I am sewing blocks today but I'm not 100% sure that I will get that far. It might take me a while to sew all the pieces together. *Fingers Crossed*
I would also like to do some work on my Juggernaut Quilt! (Its for my cat, Jasper, who also answers to Juggers, Juggernaut, Jassy-Jas, House Leopard and a few other names). Its going to go into the "Man room" which is LB's answer to my craft room. Really not a lot happens in there. I don't think LB goes in there very often. But Jasper LOVES to sleep up there on the futon. The 3rd floor gets super warm here so he goes up there at night or during the day for his siestas! 
I found the pattern on Pinterest and its one from Moda Bake Shop. And my awesome sister The Purple Quiltapotamus sent me some scraps and a charm pack! Which made me even more excited to get started on that one. I'm also trying to be super patient and wait for my new rulers from Busy Bee Inc's Etsy Shop. It may kill me to wait! I'm hoping that they get here soon. I ordered the circle ones. I might have to go back and order a couple of the other shapes later!
