This week I got a lot done! I finished the Party on The Block quilt (still don't have a name for it, any ideas?) and I pieced a backing for it. See yesterday's blog, it wasn't the most fun I've had!
But then I found the instructions for using the Lil Twister template with 5" charms, so I took a break, sewed charms, added a border, cut it up with the template, sewed the pieces back together, and voila' I have a cute little quilt. It's only 12" x 18 1/2", but I'll add a border or two. It only took maybe two hours! The directions suggest you cut 1 3/4" squares from the scraps from cutting, and sew them together for another border. Hmmm, sounds like lots of sewing itty pieces. I'll hold onto them for awhile and see how I feel about it after adding other borders. Would you?
On Monday I have a guild class on making fabric bowls with clothesline. I've made a few already, but I've had the fabrics pulled to make one for my son and his lovely bride. The fabrics are left from a quilt and pillowcases I made for them before. So the bowl can be set on their dresser for keys, coins, etc. Here are the fabrics:
I have some many gaboons of UFOs, and this week I plan to tackle finishing one UFO top, and quilting one quilt. There. I've said it.

I love your red fabrics and I plan on making a clothesline bowl soon too. I have the clothesline, the book and I've plenty of fabric. I just don't have the time or ummph to get it done right now, but, it's on my list to one soon. Please show yours when you get it done. I just found you by way of Sarah's Whoop Whoop Friday thing. I love her blog and I've linked up with her a few times. I won a little Twister tablerunner a few weeks ago and I have the ruler to that too. That's another on my list too. Too many things to do and not enough time. I'll be checking back later on you, have to get busy now and sew.
