WIP Wednesday

If you were to look of the definition of 'burnt out' in the dictionary, you would see a picture of me. My spring break next week is coming at the right time, yet, I still want to spend it working on this list along with the projects I do have to do for school when we resume. Today, instead of working on any of my projects, I took a long nap. Much needed but I'm still tired.

What do you say we get on with it already. Linking up at Freshly Pieced as always.

Completed:

Nothing this week.

Progress Made:

Sewing Machine Cover - well I haven't touched this since Monday due to deadlines for my classes, but I have made progress since the last time I showed you.

Tangerine Tango Challenge - since I didn't meet the contest deadline, this has taken a back seat again. I am this far with it though, and want to finish it up in the next week.

Project Quilting Challenge: Barn Quilts

New:

I did know that all of these were going to be added at once. It's kind of a shock to my list, but also the nature of the year long projects I have going on.

Dessert of the Month Club: March

Wild Olive Swap - I signed up to swap a 4" embroidery piece in this secret swap. We are assigned a partner and they can supply us with their favorite colors and motifs. My partner was a bit lean on her information, so I will have to a do a bit of stalking to see if I can come up with something tailored to her. If you're interested in embroidery, but haven't heard of Mollie's blog, do check it out.

Quilt Challenge of the Month: March - the challenge this month is to make something with leaders and enders. I did have to look up what that meant and when I found out, am not surprised I didn't know what they are. I don't do a lot of chain piecing and haven't had issues when I do. I may make up a scrappy mini for this challenge and if done in time for it, submit it to the Scrap Attack link up later this month.

2012 Color Challenge: March - I just love the palette this month and have already ordered my fabrics for it. They are due to arrive on Friday, just in time to play with on my break. I have a plan too so no excuses.

Embroidery Journal Project: March

Project Quilting Challenge: It's Where I Live - this challenge is to create something based on where you live. There is a twist, which is you can only use three colors and to get those, you pick a color that starts with the first letter of the street you live on, the first letter of your city, and the first letter of your state. So that means I have colors that start with an F and two Ms. I could only think of fuschia, magenta, and maroon at first, but did a little search for color names. I didn't want to work with that palette for my piece and you will see why when I sew it up. So I'm getting a little creative with color names (like fire engine red instead of fuschia). Fortunately, embellishments don't count, so I can FMQ and embroider my heart out, which is my plan.

Since I do have a week off of school, I do have time to work hard on this list. Yes, I have some schoolwork to do, and partly it's because I have been slacking on one big project. I'm going to kick off my break by working on this list all day Friday until I go to work. That's going to mean not turning my computer on either to limit my distractions. I have enough projects going that I have no need to look up anything, lol.

I hope your Wednesday is going well!
