I did get the background pieces for Boo Buddies cut out and ready to begin laying out the applique pieces. This will be a slow process apparently because WORK is getting in the way this week.
On Tuesday during my lunch break (from work) I made a quick trip to The Pin Cushion to buy that black dotted background. I already had a piece of it, but it turned out to be too small to cut all 3 sections needed. So I bought more, which is OK because it's a great basic to keep in the stash.
On Wednesday during my lunch break (from work) I sewed the hourglass blocks needed for the Ohio Star blocks. The pieces were already cut and marked diagonally, so it only took about 15 minutes.
But . . . that's as far as I got because I had to get back to my desk to upload some documents needed for the conference calls that would occupy most of the afternoon. I was sitting at my desk at 12:30 and eating my quick lunch - looking out the window as my husband backed out of the garage and left for an afternoon of golf with his friends. Thought I was the one that was semi-retired!!
Yes - work is definitely getting in the way of MY fun this week!
sorry you have to work! sounds like you need to retire for good huh. I love the black dotted fabric I quite often have some on hand - that or white dotted
