March TUSAL Post - The Second New Moon

I am so excited to make this posting for the TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long).  My needles were smokin’ at the beginning of the month.  Just look at the progress that I made on my Paula Vaughan’s Good Neighbors.  Would you believe that was just 9 days worth of stitching? 

Our weather kept teasing us with a snippet of spring weather and then it would quickly turn back to our typical winter weather.  So I wanted to stitch on a project with color.  *insert rolling my eyes here*  You have probably noticed that my progress has been in the tans and beiges.  I think that is what kept me stitching is I kept hoping I would get to all those pretty colors that are waiting to be used on this project. 

Guess I have kept you waiting long enough…

After the 9 day stitching fest, I had to put my stitching aside.  Boy, was I itchin' to stitch but there was just not enough hours in the day to get all that I need to do and also spend some time stitching.  I also had to set my stitching aside while I prepared for my quilt guilds’ annual quilt show.  As Chair of Community Service, I am responsible for setting up and displaying community service quilts.  I also was overseeing the Silent Auction and Pay ‘n Take Room.  Most of the proceeds of this goes towards our community service quilts (batting, blending and backing fabrics).  Wore out and beat from the quilt show, the cold bug that has been going around hit me.  Good thing I recognized it and got it under control so I was not suffering with it for 3-4 weeks.  My immune system has taken an extended vacation.  So I have to plan on things hitting me harder than the average person.  Feeling so much better even with the sneezing and runny nose, but an afternoon nap is not out of the question. 

Anyhoo, I only had another day maybe a day and half of stitching to add ORTs to my jar.  Here is another view of my jar.  It is sitting on some fabric from the guild fabric closet that I am going to find a fun project to make a bright and cheery quilt from it.

Well I am itching to stitch so I am going to leave you with the information on how you can find out more about the TUSAL and ORTs.  Here is the link to our SAL host, Daffy Cat’s, webpage that will provide you  information so you know what I’m talking about, click here. 

Have a great day!
