I need to work on at least three things.
A baby blanket that needs to be done by Thursday, not too far from being complete.
A wedding gift table runner that is due on the 17th. I've not even decided for sure what to make. I have some nice coffee cups, saucers and a big wide not too tall vase that I have to match.
And I need 200 of those quilted stars done by Dec. 1.
So, what am I doing today?
I have to take some time out and sort some hand sewing needles. I've got my needles everywhere. Never know where the ones are that I need "right now". What's worse, I made myself a "needle book" to keep what I need handy. Well, the cross stitch is not complete, but it's done enough to hold needles. Where is it? WHO KNOWS?

And I love herringbone.
I love black and white herringbone.
I love B&W wool herringbone.

Not sure if I'm getting lazy or just need to take vitamins, but I have no energy for quilting today. I may try a caramel cake someone posted in the recipe section but that's about all I can muster up today. I had a Red Bull but that's not even working. :roll:

I will be striving to get my grandson's 'Nakes quilt ready for quilting, making magnets for a craft fair and, if time allows finishing up my Mystery Quilt top. Pieceful Times by Debbie Caffery. I love it!

I'm making my first D9P too. They're hand quilting it tomorrow night and it's going to be auctioned at a fund raiser for "Flywithout Wings". An organization that provides equestrian therapy for the disabled. I'm very nervous about it. Lol. I just got the fabric yesterday at church.
