One week challenge update part 2

I'm doing really well with the challenge this week. Got the onesies and 3 of the burp cloths done in no time! Finished the quilt yesterday and pulled in out of the dryer before I went to bed. Now just have to finish up the other 3 burp cloths and I'm done! I'm hoping to be able to get those done tonight after work.

I'll get some pics of the finished baby quilt too! I hope they love it!

One week challenge update....

I just banged these out in under an hour on Monday. I've never done applique before, but have to admit that I may be hooked. I'll be stitching them down today and working on the burp cloths. I have one side left on the binding for the baby quilt and then into the washer it will go....can't wait to see that finished!!

Back to reality....

Spent the weekend at Matt's cabin in Mancelona. Dropped LazyDog @ Grammy's and headed north...The leaves are just slightly showing a hint of color... another week or so and the trees will be in all of their autumn finery! Matt safely used the chainsaw and Paul did not burn anything - glad I didn't have to put my skills to use!

We headed to Traverse City for vodka and whiskey tasting at Grand Traverse Distillery (yup, we skipped the wineries and went straight for the hard stuff!) ....very interesting tour and good liquor...Love that they named their whisky Ole George!

Ole George - YUM!

Visited Alden and enjoyed Torch Lake - yep, the lake really is that blue!

Back to reality today. Signed up for some on-call time and ended up not having to work, but got laundry done and started on my list for Amy's One Week Challenge, so I'm already making progress and it's only Monday - woo hoo!!!
