UFO day at guild

empty box and 1/2 of blocks needed
Who doesn't need one or many of these kind of days. Well it was perfectly timed for me as I have a quilt I want to make and it was a good day to do some power sewing. I have taken on Bonnie Hunter's pattern "talking turkey" and there is a lot of individual piecing to do before you can put all the units together. So yesterday I tackled the string pieced units, 60 squares need to be covered...no problem. PROBLEM!!! in six hours of sewing I only got 30 blocks finished. Yes sure there was talking and chatting and maybe a little venting too but in between all that I sewed and only got half the blocks done.  Not only that but my box of green scraps has been depleted. I will have to go in search of more this morning before I can go any further. Don't mistake this for complaining...I am simply stating a fact so today I am hoping to get the other 30 done and move onto the next step. I have set out a timeline of one month to get this top finish.

DH is away for a couple of days on business and then on the weekend I am heading to a friends house to sew so I should be able to make some good progress on this project. Have a great day with whatever you are working on too!!!
