My tackle is much less sophisticated than Jen’s who is the guest tackler this week at 5 Minutes For Mom this week. Please do go check out her incredible pie crust making with step by step instructions that make me feel that even I could make a pie crust from scratch!As for my tackle, I have a to do list that I really need to get done today, so here it is.

  1. Load sewing machine with cotton thread and wind a couple of spare bobbins.  Install a new sewing needle.
  2. Pack sewing machine and all necessary fabrics and supplies and load into car.
  3. Attend Beginning Piecing class #2.
  4. Email Band Director
  5. Call telephone company
  6. pay a few bills
  7. order checks

Now, I’m sure there are a few other items that should be on the list, but I seem to be having memory issues lately!  In case you didn’t see my fabrics in my earlier post, these are the fabrics I’m working with to make my quilt.  Last week, we spent the class cutting all the pieces, so we will begin sewing today.

    I like the colors for your quilt. I need to make a to do list (maybe then I could get something done). I thought I was the only one with ‘memory issues.’ :)

    I loved even the way you wrote your tackle, very nicely done!
    Truthfully? I will probably take a class on machine quilting, I don’t have the patience for hand sewing. :-D

    Val – We do occasionally attempt to sell what we make, although, we’ve never tried selling our quilts. I think we enjoy having them around the house too much! This one is actually my first attempt at making a regular size quilt and, in the end, it will only be a lap quilt. I’ve started a second quilt today for my granddaughter, a twin size (she just turned 1)
