Progress Report

Well, our air conditioner broke yesterday - I almost cried.  There's nothing quite like having a sauna for a home.  Someone's coming over this afternoon to take a look at it, but I'm already cringing at the $$$ that will be spent by the end of the day.  Such is life, I suppose.

Anyway, enough about my state of melting- here's my progress report for the week:

1- Skill Builder Block #34- we could do a Surveyor's Compass or New York Beauty.  I chose New York Beauty #5 (with an added border to make the 12.5" I needed).  I wanted to see what all the hub bub was about with these New York Beauties and I must say I'm officially now a fan.  Not only are they really pretty, but they're a lot of fun to make.  I actually enjoyed the paper piecing.  Who would of thought?  Not me.
2- I quilted Circuit Board on 3 of my blocks in my Skill Builder quilt #2 .  Full post here.

3- I also cleaned out my closet and cleaned up my fabric stash, so it's looking lovely again.  I know my husband appreciates this accomplishment, because now he doesn't feel like it's taking over the closet anymore. :)

And that's about it, folks.  I only spent 2 evenings sewing this past week, so there's no progress on anything else.
