As it turns out, we've rescheduled our household unit of measurement dinner from Sabbatum to Sunday, too that meant I had to a greater extent than fourth dimension than expected for sewing yesterday. Wasting no time, I got correct to it. There was quite a fleck accomplished, too inward my wounded left paw state, it was adept to convey lots of help.
Sadie used this stool to launch herself over onto the tabular array amongst the sewing machine.
From in that location she gave it a adept going over.
Hey, I could stand upward correct hither too spotter you lot work! Would that endure helpful?
Smitty's merely in that location for the catnip, Man. Mmm, mmm, mmm...catnip. My favorite!
My outset chore was to complete off the Jan too Apr blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Here are the blues from January.
Here are the yellows of April.
Just for grins, I set them out inward the pattern of the quilt. Of course, earlier this is finished, I'll convey lots to a greater extent than colors inward the mix.
And directly I'm create to link upward at the political party tomorrow.
From there...and for no other argue than it was lying on my function table, I decided to teach to function on this quick piffling project. You powerfulness recollect that I picked this upward at the Quilter's Cottage inward Fallbrook, California. The pattern too preprinted blocks are from the Olde America Antiques website. I encourage you lot to click on that link because in that location is a wealth of choices for pre-printed fabric quilt blocks. I selected this one.
The quilt blocks are pre-printed onto fabric, too the printing is of high quality. They're real sharp, too the colors are vibrant.
All you lot convey to produce it tegument the textile away from the newspaper backing, which was slow to do.
Then, you lot trim down the block 1/4-inch from the border of the printing.
When I had mine create for sewing, I set them out inward this configuration.
When I quit for the day, I had them sashed amongst this light-green fabric. I forget when I purchased this green, but it's been inward my stash for a long time.
When I complete it up, I'll endure putting borders on using this love apple tree fabric. I honey this fabric. It's been inward my stash practically from when I outset started quilting. I don't know why, but I purchased iii yards of it, too I've already used it inward ane quilt. There's however a lot left. This textile was merely ane argue I selected the love apple tree seed parcel blocks.
So I'm hoping to teach the go yesteryear finished today. It's around other reminder that it's way by fourth dimension to teach my love apple tree starts. I convey a trip to the farmer's marketplace position planned amongst Erik too Mae on Saturday. I'm hoping to teach around starts then.
Before I was create to quit for the day, the Retired Resident Engineer (RRE) wandered into the sewing room, too saw this sitting on my sewing table. "Oh!" says he. "You convey a Corvette pattern!"
Feeling magnanimous I said, "Would you lot similar a Corvette mug rug?"
"Oh yes," says he.
So, I approximate that's what's happening next. I think I downloaded this from Craftsy. Sher Hastings has quite a few cute designs listed for sale on Craftsy.
You'll uncovering it has the words, "Let's Go!" on the pattern. I convey a dissimilar sentiment for what to produce there. Stay tuned.
So, I'm hoping I'll convey around fourth dimension to run upward today. We bespeak to teach into town too pick upward around vino shipments the wineries were sort plenty to concur for us spell nosotros were traveling, too nosotros convey a twain of other piffling errands to run too. Time's a wastin'. Better teach going.
