So my weekend consisted of a few things:
1. Quilting
I finished this quilt top:
The quilt will be for my mother's Soroptimists chapter to raffle off later this year. It's 76" square, the fabric is Domestic Bliss by Liz Scott, the quilt pattern is Swell by Camille Roskelley.
I must also remember to put together a costing sheet for the price of a quilt to answer all those nice old ladies who think that they can ask me to put together a quilt for, oh, a hundred dollars. (Not counting the fabric and the thread, just the hours worked on this at $20/hr come to around $800; assuming that I count my quilting skills, experience, and time that cheap.)
I also started the SHIELD dress for the Superheroes Ball at D*C. It's all cut out and although the lining isn't quite the right colour, I'm contemplating making some 'extra' lining out of the same fabric as the dress - also, bodice reinforcement since I don't think I'll be able to wear a standard bra with this.
2. Hockey
Lost 3-1, we played well, but at least one of the other players was whingy. Man, I hate playing with whingy people...
Played on the field again; I think the coach has a pretty rigid idea of where I'm supposed to be playing as a wing. I do tend to move around a lot. Although 1st half I was playing a half-back, and pretty much just sitting on their forward so she couldn't get the ball. But the leg was okay.
Next weekend will be interesting, though - it's the team we were playing against when I did my calf muscle, at the field where I got injured. We're going to have to up our game; this team are good. And bitchy, which is always annoying.
3. Femme Remix
Should end up around 1.5K - at the trickiest part: trying to get a cohesive theme happening that works anywhere except in my head.
4. Marvel Bang
I'm going to need to write 1.5K a day to this in order to get it anywhere near enough for the 26th, which is when the 1st draft is due. Considering how much stuff I need to have prepped before I go away...
Let's just say it's not looking promising...
