Nine Patch Square Dance

 Oh looky what is at the bottom of one of my piles.... I am really NOT that unorganized - well - maybe I am... 

I started this one in 2023!! whatttt!!!

The start... and the Stall  You can see here - and nothing has changed haha!

In my defense - I was cleaning out my parents house and having to move all of their stuff, and putting it on the market, and I think that cutting fabric must have been my therapy at the time. So it worked its magic - I think I am still sane. ( Please don't ask my husband tho okay?)

Anyways - this is what I have: 

And this is where the pattern came from - American Patchwork and Quilting  - maybe 2021?

Since this is not any where close to being ready to top - I see the progress on this one slow my pile clearing down... but!!

I think I am going to focus on it for a minute and see how many blocks I can make.

I kinda like the colors I have chosen. 

Also - we had some housework to do. 

No one told us ( or if they did I ignored them) that owning a house means constant projects.

the wood that they used at the bottom of these stairs had rotted away - and instead of just caulking it, we tore it out, re sealed it, fixed the concrete and added a new finish to it.

And by We - I mean the dogs and I supervised as K did all the work. But I am taking the credit as I nagged him until it was done. That counts right?

Today I am going to link up  with

My Pile Project start

 You may remember - I found a pile of fabrics???

Then I went to a sew Day and someone was giving away an American Patchwork Quilting magazine.... and I started flipping thru it.....

and found the perfect project for these Fabrics:

I said to myself - Myself.. Make a block a Day, and I did for 6 days, and then!! I had to re-organize the house again.... Okay not really - but!!

I ( Really husband and 2 kids.. I supervised) moved a huge desk unit that we didn't really utilize other than a place to pile things... and we listed it to sell.... move out.... bless someone else. And that made me sort all the piles that were on it.. Found a pair of sunglasses... But mostly paperwork that I just hadn't filed/shredded yet....

I find it interesting to see the things that we *meant* To put away, but life goes to fast... and its still there. I moved one of the flatter desks we have into that office space and Oh! My! Goodness!!! So far I love it... much cleaner, and !! A place for my computer.... We will see what is next! 

I will be Linking up with:

• Design Wall Monday at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts
• Sew and Tell at Melva Loves Scraps
• Monday Musings at Songbrid Desings
• Midweek Makers at Quilt Fabrications
  
• Needle and Thread Thursday
• Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework
  

Another Project from a Pile is getting started....

 This is MY week... well - I say that about every week, but it usually doesn't really happen haha! you all know... you have plans and then Something happens and then bam.... your to do list goes to next week?

Actually - this week I have to spend organizing. I have been cleaning my parents house, bringing things home, making a pile for my brother, and of course - sorting all the accounting *jazz*  

I bring things home, but there is so much to do here - that I have just been piling them... so this week - it was on to organizing them into my house.... 

BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!

( cuz you know a lot of their things need to go in my quilting room)

Pastels!!! Pinks and greens, Tans and Blues!!!

it just has to make something right?  They are being ironed right now and then I will have to pick a project... I am thinking Churn Dash ! Okay not really - but I always think churn dash first!! 

If you had pastels like these what would you envision?

Oh man!! Did you shop  Amazon Prime Days?  You have today left!!  The Water flosser was 50% off - thats even a better deal than I was expecting...

and then I found shoes... Asics - some of them - you have to be careful on which colors you choose!! but they are 45% off!!  I go thru shoes like crazy - I try to keep a pair for indoor onlly, and then something gets out and I take off with out thinking and Bam! they are now outdoor shoes !!

Since one of my sons will be traveling a lot this summer - I also got this travel Waterflosser !!! 45% off!!!

Keep his teeth all sparkly!! and its easy to pack!! 

Back to the fabrics - I need to iron before it gets to hot today... and then get back to organizing... I also started on my oldest kids room... I mean - if you are going to tear up a house - you might as well make the most mess you can right???
