Yesterday morning, I finished stitching the repose of the hoop for the Friendship's Garden block.
After that, I went dorsum to move cutting strips for the Rainbow Jubilee quilt. When I was finished, my bin overfloweth amongst strips. Do yous recall in that place are 576 there?
They weren't counted every bit I went along, but I did give myself a illustration of tendinitis inwards my left wrist. My wrist is immobilized today because it hurts to motion it. Fortunately, I tin however occupation my hand.
Anyway, whining aside (and 1 should never waste product a perfectly expert chance to whine), I was able to sew together together the xvi blocks I needed yesterday afternoon. They went together surprisingly quickly.
From there, I trimmed them to 5-7/8 inches.
And hence I cutting them corner to corner. Half were cutting from Northwest to Southeast.
The other one-half from Southwest to Northeast.
Now if your heed is feeble similar mine, yous mightiness live on shout out for what deviation it makes which management they're cut. Can't yous merely flip them over together with accept the same thing? And don't enquire me close the geometry of this, but actually...no. Look at the cutting ones below, together with yous tin come across for yourself that the stripes become inwards unlike directions. Now how is that possible?
By then, I was variety of tired of sewing...and my wrist was starting to hurt, together with hence I seat them out where I'll start today. Each colored block is seat amongst its stripes going vertically. The one-half foursquare triangle blocks volition live on sewn to each of the 4 sides amongst their stripes going horizontally.
As I'm looking at that icon above, I banking concern complaint that 1 of the stripes on the Southwest corner says "Be Happy." I should live on certain to accept that slice facing upward. It was merely a happy accident.
This morning, I finished the side yesteryear side department of Friendship's Garden, together with I've moved my hoop again.
I'm thinking I'll accept this 1 finished inwards the side yesteryear side dyad of days.
As for the repose of the day, I'll complete sewing my rainbow blocks together, but I'm besides doing roughly cooking. Before sitting downward here, I roasted roughly rhubarb for a blog postal service close it correct here. Here's how it looks when it's served upwards for dessert.
Here's the thing. I recall rhubarb is occupation of a vast conspiracy of liar foods. If yous enquire me, it's truly merely celery dressed inwards ruby-red to brand yous recall it tastes good. So, I'm non a fan of rhubarb, but it's pretty expert when it's made into this hither tart.
So why is my supposed-to-be-dieting self making upwards a rhubarb tart, yous ask? Because my kiddos are coming for dinner on Saturday. It's the commencement fourth dimension we'll all instruct together since nosotros got home, together with I can't hold off to come across everybody all at the same table. I'm making all the nutrient ahead of fourth dimension hence that nosotros tin merely sit down together with take in together with bask 1 another's company. The tart was started this morning. I'll complete it upwards Sat afternoon. Also today, I'm making a Texas Potato Salad. I'll live on doing roughly to a greater extent than cooking tomorrow, but those are the entirely things on today's agenda. Aside from that...just sewing, sewing, together with to a greater extent than sewing.
Outside it's rain, rain, together with to a greater extent than rain. I'm truly dying to move out together with trace roughly weeds, but the Sun is going to accept to polish earlier I'll live on motivated.
