It was unopen to an NBS solar daytime yesterday. I had a few niggling things to create around the house, but mostly, I stayed inward as well as sewed. There was a pretty steady drizzle for most of the day, as well as it was a adept solar daytime for staying inward my sweats. I telephone telephone them my "daytime jammies." Nevertheless, I braved the moisture atmospheric condition as well as went out to pick the ripe cherry tomatoes as well as a few to a greater extent than plums. They looked therefore pretty together I was compelled to accept a picture.
The cherry tomatoes were only a bonus. I was actually on the hunt for the plums because I wanted to endeavour this recipe for Caramelized Plums. It took minutes to brand it.
We set it over H2O ice cream final night. Even if you lot don't receive got it over H2O ice cream, I tin sack tell you lot that right away from the pan, it tastes pretty darned good.
After that, I headed into the sewing room. Helper truthful cat was on the job.
I was fix to brand the dark as well as white blocks for the Rainbow Jubilee blocks. The strips were sewn together as well as the blocks were trimmed as well as cutting corner-to-corner.
Then I set them out alongside their dark blueish counterparts. It's tardily to teach them facing inward the incorrect administration if I'm non careful.
Then I sewed them together as well as September's blocks were finished.
Tomorrow I'll link upwards to
Here are all the blocks I receive got for this quilt therefore far. Three to a greater extent than colors to go.
After that, I got to piece of work on the blocks for the Shop Hop quilt. The foremost 1 was this block from Canada. It's the solely quilt store I've visited inward Canada, as well as therefore the pick was obvious. And may I only say, Canada, that I've ever loved your flag.
This was a slap-up shop. You tin sack uncovering its spider web presence right here.
Next upwards was Auntie's Attic Quilt Shop. Its spider web presence tin sack endure establish right here.
Next was a store nosotros visited close Acadia National Park. Acadia was a large bucket listing item, as well as the quilt store was only a bonus. While nosotros were visiting the park, nosotros were standing looking out at 1 of the spectacular views as well as watching a boat dropping off lobster traps. We could meet 1 fifty-fifty though it was some distance away. Here's the film I took of it.
You tin sack read to a greater extent than almost our see to the common right here. So when nosotros visited the quilt store inward Ellsworth a few days later, it was really tempting to teach some lobster textile every bit my regional print. But the colors of this 1 alongside the lobster trap buoys was therefore colorful as well as fun, I chose it.
You tin sack read my weblog postal service almost Sewing past times the Sea right here. Their spider web presence is right here. As I was writing this post, I noticed that the quilt store is listed every bit existence inward the town of Trenton. I took the urban meat cite off the receipt from my buy when I created my embroidery strip. Now I'm wondering which is right, but it doesn't matter...I'm non changing it.
I was getting sort of tired of sewing past times that time, as well as therefore I did only 1 to a greater extent than block. You mightiness recollect that the 2 middle blocks for this quilt are doubles. I had 2 fabrics alongside a scale besides large to gibe into a unmarried block, as well as therefore I made them twice the size of the others. This is 1 of them. It's from the foremost quilt store nosotros visited when nosotros took our epic journeying around the perimeter of the United States. We'd been driving, as well as driving, as well as driving for days. Our foremost sight-seeing halt was the Ringing Rocks close Butte, Montana, as well as this quilt store was nearby. In all of our driving, I'd been taking pictures of barns...hundreds of pictures of barns...and therefore this textile seemed the correct choice. Also...it was only a flake of Americana, as well as I was feeling all misty-eyed at the start of our decades-long-anticipated trip.
This was a fun shop. You tin sack read my weblog postal service almost it right here. There was a lot in that place that made me smile. They don't seem to receive got a spider web presence beyond their Facebook page, which you lot tin sack meet right here.
So in that place are 3 blocks left to brand to complete off this row for the Shop Hop quilt. I'm walking alongside Sue this morning, as well as and then I'm hoping to receive got some to a greater extent than fourth dimension to complete them off this afternoon. It's ever difficult to nation how the solar daytime volition go, but that's my plan.
