Deven is home!

Deven came home last night.  The Doctor's released him and said to keep him on a very strict feeding schedule.  He gets 3 - 4 ozs. every 3 hours.  He is to be woken up if he is sleeping.  He gained a pound while he was in the hospital.  He still has some more testing to be done, but he is home.  We are resting a little easier now.  
It is hot outside and I don't even want to go out.  I'm not sure how you in the southern parts of the country handle all the heat.  We normally don't get 95+ degree days here to often.  We have had a bunch this year.  Tomorrow its supposed to be 100 with a heat index of 110.  The humidity is supposed to be real high also.  I will be staying in the air conditioned house, I have the feeling.  DH is on vacation and he can run in and out with the dogs all day.

Stash Report

I haven't had a chance to do much this week.  I still haven't finished that quilt for my grandson yet.  I just purchased a similar kit for one of the babies.  His mom likes monkeys  and Jo Ann Fabrics had a quilt kit just like the dinosaurs but with monkeys.  I will make that up and get it to Deven within the next few days.  Deven is in the hospital as he isn't gaining weight and the doctors can't figure out why.  I have been spending time with his big brothers and talking to mom on the phone.  They don't want a bunch of us up there while he is there.  I get to stay home and worry instead!  I guess that I will do some sewing to keep my mind occupied.

I have something to show this week!  I'm working on a quilt for one of the grandsons who will be 2 at the end of the month.  He loves Dinosaurs!  I found a kit at Jo Anne's that had dinosaur fabric, so I picked it up.  It only makes a 30 x 36 inch quilt but I figure that is just the right size for him to drag around.  I don't like the fact that it doesn't have binding with it.  I substituted rust colored cotton for the bright orange satin that was with it.  I have enough left to do the binding.  Once I finish putting it together tomorrow, I hope.

I have also been working on my applique block, just need to find the berries and put them on.  I've got the next block pressed and I'm deciding what fabrics to use for the heart.  This is a kit from a class I took in April right after my mom died.  I have just picked it back up and I'm trying to get it done.

Stash Report

Well I did some cutting, and some sewing until we lost power of Friday.  I haven't worked on anything since.  I did cut out a baby quilt and I'm deciding if I'm going to bind it or just follow the directions and stitch it pillow case style.  If I add the binding I will add it to next weeks total.  I plan on finishing this quilt today.  I also have another one pulled and it just needs to be cut so that I can sew while it is raining tomorrow and Tuesday.

Stash Report Update!

My daughter was going thru my blog and pointed out a mistake.  I lost 3 yards someplace!  In May I was up to 30 yards used to date and in June I went back to 27.  I guess I can add those three yards back in.  I never even noticed that I had gone backwards.  So my updated stash is:

I guess I need to pay more attention when I copy something.

Stash Report

The good news is that I have done some sewing this week.  I just have either counted it or haven't gotten to a point so I can count it.  I didn't buy anything this week which is great!
