Sorry to say, I have done absolutely zippo toward UFO busting this week. In fact, I've done hardly any sewing at all. I did work for an hour or so one night on hexie flowers, and I might have sewn a couple of stars on my Quilt of Valor (photo below). Can't remember when I worked on it last.
This weather is just sucking the life out of me, truly. A person, especially one who lives alone, can't remain inside all the time, especially if she has two active doggies who tend to pitch fits if not taken for at least a short walk every day. And every time I go outside, even for a little while, I feel like shriveled lettuce when I come back inside. No energy. No strength. Just flop.
So I hope some of you have had better luck in getting your UFO stash busted than I have. But whether or not you have, if you're a member of the challenge, be sure to enter you link in Mr. Linky below for one last chance to win the Grab Bag Giveaway. I'll draw first thing in the morning and announce the winner.

I hear you on the heat and humidity sucking the energy right out of you. Tuesday and Wednesday were horrid here, but yesterday was delightful with a high in the mid-80s*F and today should be nearly the same. This morning it felt like a divine hint of Autumn.
Love your Quilt of Valor! I wonder if they need any wall hangings to put in the common spaces?
No UFO progress for me but a Christmas gift flannel quilt has gone to the quilter - yes, the outer border was put on Tuesday when the heat index was 115*F. Am I crazy?
I'm doing a 12" block swap with friends from my TX bee and have chosen their blocks and fabrics. Progress, just not of the UFO kind.
Making Salsa today so won't be sewing probably.
Hugs!

You are not alone. I'm trying to organize a move across town and move some of the small/fragile things myself and I can't make more than a couple trips out (and, unfortunately, up a flight of stairs) to my car without feeling completely drained. Is it wrong that I'm already looking forward to October and November?

Susan - I was just catching up on some of your older posts and came across the picture of your office. I love, love, love the bunny quilt up above the shelves. It looks like a pattern I've seen from The Ginger Cookie Company. Did you make it?
Sorry you are melting in the humid weather - about this time of year the air conditioning is a pretty welcome reason to actually go to work for me.

I feel the same way in this humidity! Yuck. Luckily, it's cooled down this week. NOt much to report this week, I finished the hand quilting on my Bliss quilt and am now hand-stitching the binding. It's boring! THanks for the boost to get it done!

If my "check-up" trips to the Clinic ever get done, maybe I can work on some UFO's. This started early in April, and I've still got at least one more clinic appointment. I wonder if there are any of those machines they haven't used on me this year, and every test is OK except the scratch/sore on my nose is going to get taken off next week. Hope they take a minimum of nose with it! "If I ever lose my nose..." (Cat Stephens?).

So sorry about the weather bringing you down. I hope you find relief soon.
I am still not doing well with the UFO along but I posted a picture of the blanket I made with stash to send to Joplin. It's from the facebook group you shared a while ago but I JUST finished. It's going to the post office tomorrow.

Hi Susan ~ I'm back to leave a comment...Our windows here are open and the A/C is off today. I LOVE it! And yes, the HEAT did get to us earlier this week. We were in and out of the hot car and shops multiple times with our company on the hottest day we've had this season! I told my sister she brought her SC weather with her, and I wanted her to take it back when she left. And actually, it's worked out that way. Tomorrow I'll be planting 10 knockout rose bushes, hopefully in the cool of the morning...and then next week I'm hitting the sewing!

Susan,
I am late linking up! This weather is getting to me too! I think the humidity is getting the better of me :) I can't walk outside without breaking out in a sweat!
Stay cool!
Hugs,
Donna
