Since I knew I was going to pass most of the twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum running around yesterday, I spent longer than commons on my morn embroidery. Besides...I was trying to complete an well book, in addition to therefore I listened until the end. Now I've nearly filled the commencement hoop for the terminal of the Heart & Home blocks.
This morn I'll complete the remainder of it in addition to and therefore movement my hoop to the adjacent section. I can't hold off to complete this because in addition to therefore I'll live laid upward to start something new. Isn't a novel projection the best matter ever? I'll tell to a greater extent than nearly that eventually.
It was belatedly inwards the morn past times the fourth dimension I left to run my errands. I needed to alternative upward my quilts from the show, instruct to the bank, instruct gas, in addition to and therefore exercise my grocery shopping. It was 2:00 past times the fourth dimension I reached the grocery store, in addition to I was sorely tempted to pocketbook it (no pun intended, but it's a pretty expert one), in addition to instruct the adjacent day. Still I soldiered on, murdering no ane inwards the process. I was inwards in addition to out inwards nearly 20 minutes. Yahoo! Free at last! Free at last!
When I got home, I had my afternoon espresso in addition to position my feet upward for a while. There was yet a piffling fourth dimension left inwards the day, in addition to therefore I headed into the sewing room to direct some fabrics for the Bag Ladies.
There are genuinely 2 layouts suggested for this quilt. This commencement ane is the ane done past times the designer Carol Steffensen. I similar it, but I wasn't genuinely feeling upward to tackling that scrappy checkerboard sashing.
This adjacent ane was done past times some unknown quilter. I recall Carol sent me this flick equally an example. Looking at this, it seemed equally if I could knock off but equally many scraps using the whole cloth sashings, in addition to therefore I opted for that one. (Sorry for that blurry image. I didn't accept the picture.)
And looking at that, y'all tin give the sack come across that there's a narrow inner border, in addition to a piffling wider middle border earlier the wider outer border. When I shopped through my stash, I came upward amongst these fabrics for the borders. I alone direct maintain a piffling flake of that yellow, in addition to therefore I'll switch the pinkish in addition to yellowish around. These fabrics direct maintain all been used inwards other projects.
Also, each block is framed inwards black. I constitute a packet of dark that was cutting off from the edges of some other project, in addition to this volition live a expert means to role at to the lowest degree some of it. The blocks are trimmed to 7-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches, in addition to and therefore framed amongst a 1-1/2-inch border.
And then, rather than reinvent the wheel, I but looked at the diagram in addition to tried to replicate the colors in addition to patterns amongst my ain fabrics. I was able to complete the commencement block.
So, I similar how that's looking, in addition to I'm using some of my oldest scraps inwards the process. Today, I'll but proceed on my merry way.
That's nearly all I direct maintain to tell you, but inwards closing I'll add together that I used to live a daily player inwards the Photo-a-day challenge at FatMumSlim. Now I alone play occasionally, but yesterday's prompt was "pink." And I know of no ameliorate pinkish than this one.
It made me smiling when I took the picture. I'll but operate out this here. I promise it makes y'all smiling too.
