WIP Wednesday 8-29-12

Wednesday again!  There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day to get all my projects done.  I have, as usual, overextended myself and am feeling a bit of pressure.  Everything sounds so fun I just can't say no!  When this happens I just make a list in order of what needs done and chug along checking each item off. 

The first item on the list is the granny square quilt I'm making as a wedding gift for my sister-in-law.  Her shower is on the 8th so getting that finished has been my top priority.  Last night I finished making all the blocks, 64 of them, laid them all out and am now about halfway done piecing them into rows.  I'm making a trip to the LQS on my lunch today for backing and binding fabric so hopefully I can have it done soon!

Lots and lots of blocks!

Plus a whole other row that I had off to the side - big!

I also have a new addition to my sewing space - a new-to-me sewing table!!!  I was driving home from work and saw this lovely retro table in someones trash - I couldn't believe it!  I drove back by a few times to make sure it was the real deal and then the hubs agreed to pick it up for me on his way home.  It is much bigger than what I'm using now and in good condition. It will be perfect once I give it a good cleaning!

What have you been working on?

I'll be linking up over at Freshly Pieced today.  Coincidentally enough I won Lee's Aurifil giveaway a few weeks back and she became my 100th follower!  I'll be hosting my own giveaway later this week to celebrate so be sure to stop back.
