Busy by Default

You can always tell how busy my husband is by the amount of sewing I get done.  I've gotten way too much done these last couple of weeks, because my poor hubby has been working some seriously ugly hours in the Emergency Room.  The kiddos and I have really been missing Daddy, but on the upside - my wide open evenings have turned into some serious progress.

1- I put together my first tutorial this week for the Album Four-Patch (here).  I turned this block into a mini quilt with a couple of borders:

2- I've made some serious progress on my 2 Skill Builder quilt tops.  I finished the top to the first one:

I'm a good way into the sashing process for the second quilt top.  It's currently residing under my piano in hopes that it'll be slightly out of the way of my Little Tornadoes until I can get it done.  You can tell by Little Man's fire hat that nothing is ever completely out of the way, but so far so good.








3- I'm up to date on my Blogger BOMs now as well.  Here are the first 6 blocks:

Other Projects:
Christmas Blocks - no progress
Halloween Wall Hanging - on some serious ice

Stats for the Week:
New projects - 0 (I haven't started the diaper bag yet)
Completed projects - 1
WIP- 5

My husband is actually going to be home this weekend - I'm counting down the days - so, I won't be getting as much done this week, but that's ok by me.  :)  Oh, and Happy Leap Year, everyone!

Check out what everyone is up to this week over at Freshly Pieced.

  1. Ok. Ummm. I'm a little embarrassed at the kind of things I get done when Lance is working. Oh wait, I don't get things done. :)
    Your quilts are BEAUTIFUL!! And your children are even more beautiful! I can't believe how big they are getting! I love the pictures of Emma chowing down. Precious!

  2. Wow! Looks great! I always get a lot done when my DH travels too! I know it's hard though. Maybe we get lots done not only because we have the time, but also because we need the "therapy" ;-). Hang in there!
