I finished the first 6 grocery bags and have actually remembered to use them for the last 3 weeks. Despite my plastic bag average of 11 per weekly trip, I don't think I'll need that many cloth ones. Either they hold more or the baggers fill the space more efficiently. I think a little of both. I have fabric out on my cutting table for a few more, but they are boring and that sure saps the motivation.
I got the corner pieces on the Lone Star, going with black, but I still have another couple feet of border to piece and then attach. No pictures of that yet.
My birthday came and I got to open the presents I told my husband to buy.
A Curve Master presser foot...
...which helped me with my first ever Drunkard's Path block. And this book, inspired by this blog.
And that green piece which is pretty typical of everything I've been sewing for the last few weeks.......half a good idea made up of scraps from my overflowing parts bin and destined to return there for the immediate future. I'm not sure where my motivation has gone, but I hope it comes back soon. I signed up for a class with Jackie Robinson at the Denver National Quilt Festival and have picked & washed my fabrics, but still have a bunch of cutting to do.
I also have most of the parts cut for a quilt to make with my youngest son's Kindergarten class. Just need a few more fat quarters that I'll pick up this weekend.

Don't you just love that book! I've tried lots of their ideas and they all turned out great.
