In my post earlier this month, I shared that I would be participating in an event hosted on Elm Street Quilts in which we identify One Goal that we wanted to accomplish this month.
I’m beginning to get some of my sewing mojo back. Still had several days running around this week, so didn’t get a lot of sewing done. Plans are to put in some stitching time this weekend.
We have a new baby in the neighborhood so I made two Burp Cloths. I figure you can never have too many Burp Cloths. They were a quick & simple project. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures.
I worked on the Choo Choo Quilt (OMG), stitching the blocks & rows & started assembling the rows. It’s going to be so cute! Block #1 only needed cutting while Block #2 required strip piecing and cutting to size.

Before I show you what I’m working on, I want to share my newest acquisition.
Look what I picked up on my way home from the Pennsylvania National Quilt Expo. As I mentioned yesterday, I had dropped my sewing machine off for a Spa Day while I was working the Quilt Show in Oaks, PA. I’ve been wanting these for some time, but this week they were on sale for 25% off, so I couldn’t resist getting them when I picked up my machine.

Do you know what these are?
Just look at all that fabric! Every roll includes 1 yard each of three different fabrics, all color coordinated and ready to make quilt top using one of the over 40 patterns available.

I’m excited! First, I don’t have anything scheduled for today – Yippy! I don’t have to leave the house at all!! I’m basically a home-body and am very happy to stick around the house and keep myself occupied.
Second, I can scratch off Project #1 on my September Goals List. I’ve been sharing my HST/Pinwheel progress and said the remainder of the top will go quickly. Today started with chain piecing the HSTs.
