Except for 1 picayune housekeeping chore, it was an NBS hateful solar daytime yesterday. I'm non certain what today holds, but at that spot volition hold upwards a destination involved. Mike is domicile today, together with nosotros quest to alternative upwards a vino shipment equally well. And, oh well, sure...one housekeeping chore. But sewing first!
As for yesterday, I had simply 1 to a greater extent than row of pocketbook ladies to debate with.
One together with done.
From at that spot I was create to start sewing on the borders. The get-go was yellow.
The minute was pink.
My picayune truthful cat was at that spot to help.
Hello.
I said, HELLO!
It was getting belatedly inwards the hateful solar daytime yesteryear that time...I suspected it was fourth dimension to feed the cat...which reminds me, retrieve this quilt?
Smitty was belongings it upwards on the other side of the sewing room. I think it was a signal.
So, anyway, I was simply finishing upwards joining strips for the final border when I stopped for the day.
Just for grins, I took this moving-picture demo then you lot could become a hint of what it volition hold off similar at the halt of the hateful solar daytime today.
Also, I rooted simply about inwards my stuff stash a little. The Bag Ladies are made completely from scraps, together with then far, the solely coin spent has been for the thread to run upwards them together. Even the embroidery floss was from scraps inwards my floss stash. The pattern was a gift from the designer, Carol Steffensen, for hosting the Stitch-Along final year. And amongst that inwards mind, I actually wanted to notice a dorsum inwards my stash. I came out amongst this one.
It's a stuff a friend flora at a yard sale, or a garage sale, or a body sale, or something. It has the nicest feel, together with I'm pretty certain it's cotton. It's variety of weird though because it's solely 36 inches wide, together with at that spot is zero inwards the selvage (indeed, the selvage isn't actually fifty-fifty visible) to position it. Possibly a strip was cutting lengthwise at some point? I don't know. The border appears finished. In whatever case, I convey 5 yards of it. When the quilt is finished, it volition hold upwards 52 x 71 inches, together with then fifty-fifty amongst the narrow width, there's enough for a back. SOLD! I similar the vintage appearance, together with the pocketbook ladies hold off pretty vintage to me.
Also, I selected this for the binding when I become that far amongst it. I've used this inwards other projects, together with the binding powerfulness simply purpose upwards the final of it.
So that was my sewing day.
In odds together with ends...remember when Melissa painted Smitty recently? Well Sadie wanted to hold upwards painted too. And I've likely posted a lot of pictures of Sadie amongst the asking that #melissapaintmycat. Finally, I posted this picture...
And she did it! Melissa painted Sadie!
Cool! Now we'll convey a matching pair...in add-on to the living ones nosotros already have.
Finally, I noticed this on our star magnolia yesterday.
The master copy possessor planted the star magnolia. It makes the prettiest flowers inwards the spring.
This is our 17th twelvemonth inwards our home. I've loved the blossoms inwards spring, but this is the get-go fourth dimension I've e'er noticed these berries inwards the fall. Is it possible it's the get-go fourth dimension it has produced them? Or convey I simply never noticed before. Anyway...interesting.
So amongst that, I'm off to destination that final border. It'll hold upwards practiced to convey the Bag Ladies sewn into a flimsy. After all, they aren't getting whatever younger, together with neither am I.
