After my sluggish twenty-four hours on Sunday, I vowed to go to a greater extent than productive on Monday. With simply a slight improvement, I think I tin telephone yell upwards the twenty-four hours a success. While I was writing my postal service yesterday morning, I had breadstuff rise inward the kitchen. It baked upwards into some other beautiful loaf.
It actually makes a wonderful sandwich bread. And if you're non a white breadstuff form of person, but prefer whole wheat, it tin easily go adjusted to brand a whole wheat loaf. You tin detect the recipe for this right here.
Once I had the breadstuff out of its pan together with cooling, I took off for my local quilt shop. I've been waiting for the twenty-four hours to come upwards when I could purpose my 25% off coupon. I needed a quilt dorsum for the Solstice to Solstice quilt, together with I establish something I liked there. Before I exhibit you lot my purchases, however, I wanted to exhibit you lot this beautiful heaven textile I purchased from Vicki Welch whose store is at Colorways yesteryear Vicki Welch. When I saw this on Vicki's Instagram feed, I idea I was looking at a photograph of the actual sky. Well. Don't you lot know I needed me some of that.
The folds form of give it away every bit actual textile together with non the actual sky, but you lot tin run into how pretty that slope is. It's difficult to detect expert heaven fabrics, together with hence I'm happy to accept establish this. Thank you, Vicki, for that quick turnaround too.
As for the fabrics I purchased yesterday, I establish this 1 for the Solstice to Solstice quilt. Do you lot e'er accept a textile simply pick out handgrip of you lot the instant you lot run into it? I needed quite a chip of this because my quilt is large.
It appealed to me because of its messages: "Focus on the Good," together with "Gather Happy Moments," together with "Create Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Bee-u-tiful Life," together with "Find Joy inward Simple Things." You mightiness yell upwards that each block inward the Solstice to Solstice quilt commemorates something that happened the calendar week it was released together with made,
together with hence these messages from the textile seemed perfect for my quilt back.
Also, I was on the hunt for a burgundy/red textile to frame the remaining half-dozen blocks for the Wine Country quilt. I think this 1 volition practise nicely.
That'll go side yesteryear side on my agenda. I'd soundless similar to larn that quilt sewn together, together with hence I'll function on that some today.
While I was out, I stopped off at Joann to selection upwards some sparkle tulle for the Gingerbread Village. When the whole matter is pose upwards to go, I'll lay a unmarried layer of tulle over it to concur the pieces inward place, together with and hence I'll stitch simply about each piece. It's difficult to run into inward this image, but in that location is some sparkle to this white tulle.
Just for grins I pose it out partially roofing the part I accept done on the village. You tin run into the sparkle a piddling amend inward the ikon below.
Finally, I finished upwards the stitching on the latest block for Heart & Home. This is block 6 of 9, Peace together with Plenty Farm.
That 1 was form of fun to do. And since I started this projection acre nosotros were traveling, I hadn't yet trimmed whatsoever of the blocks. It seemed every bit expert a fourth dimension every bit whatsoever to cut back all of them, together with hence I cutting them downwardly to a nine x nine size. Here are all the blocks I accept finished.
With that finished, together with this existence the kickoff of the month, it's fourth dimension to run upwards together some other row for the Shop Hop quilt. That way I needed to brand a strip alongside the names for the side yesteryear side viii blocks. They're traced out now, together with I'll larn started on it this morning.
On today's agenda, I desire to practise a piddling to a greater extent than housework, but together with hence I'll go along sewing together the Wine Country quilt. I'd similar to larn that 1 into a finished flimsy every bit shortly every bit I can...not that there's whatsoever rush, but I desire to run into it. If I tin larn that finished, I'll practise some to a greater extent than on the Gingerbread Village. We're expecting sunshine tomorrow, together with hence I'll go dorsum at the weeds shortly enough. Better larn my sewing done acre I can.
Mike is on his way habitation now. We soundless don't know whether he'll go stopping inward Indiana to accept repairs done to the roof, but he's headed that direction. When nosotros spoke final night, he'd crossed into Tennessee together with was planning to pass the nighttime inward Nashville.
