Making some progress

I've been buried under stacks of fabrics, patterns, projects, books and magazines for some time. There has been some progress yesterday and today finding things and catching up in general.




At the March Clothesline Club we were given instructions how to make a notebook that would hold our newsletters and pattern sheets. My sister, Connie, kindly offered to embroider my name on the inside pocket. Yesterday I finished the binding and loaded the contents. I also sorted the Clothesline Club fabrics into a plastic drawer so I would know where they are when I need them.






The April Stitchery BOTM from Bea at Capricorn Quilts has been almost done since mid April. It is now in the finished pile, also. I should be able to stitch the May block before the next one is shown.


All thirty of my Step Four blocks for the Orange Crush mystery are sewn and pressed! I still need to finish Steps Two and Three, but they weren't needed for the last step.


For those who asked - here are some of the fabrics I purchased in Shipshewana and Paducah while visiting in April. There are a lot of Jo Morton prints in there which was the main focus of our shopping. Also couldn't resist the Marcus Brothers and Windham repros!
