Yesterday I spent a petty longer than green on my morning time tiresome stitching. I was unopen to finishing the Friendship's Garden block, as well as I was besides unopen to finishing my well book. Both were finished at around the same time.
Here are all the blocks I've done as well as so far:
There are nevertheless 3 to become earlier I'm educate to run upwards this together, as well as and so I'll simply overstep away on stitching away at it.
Speaking of finishing books, produce y'all follow the Bibliophile Files on at Sarah Did It? She's published her monthly linky political party this morning, as well as I'm motivated to start joining inward each month. I've added her push clit to my correct side bar alongside a listing of the books I'm currently reading.
Sarah is expert close setting a reading goal as well as keeping rail of the books she wants to read as well as the books she's finished. Starting inward January, I'm going to overstep away on a listing of the books I've finished. For now, I accept simply the ii I've finished lately as well as the ones I'm currently reading. The Kindle books don't larn read equally chop-chop equally the well books are listened to. The well books are for mitt as well as car sewing. The Kindle books solely larn attending when I'm educate to become to slumber at black (thus, a curt menstruum of time) as well as when I'm out as well as about...usually for some form of an engagement (thus, rarely). So that's my plan. I'm already setting goals for 2019. I've fifty-fifty chosen my side yesteryear side Rainbow Scrap quilt, but no peeking for now.
For the residuum of my sewing day, I worked on the side yesteryear side department for And On That Farm. This 1 is called "With an Oink, Oink Here." The start business is to slice the background together. With express amounts of stuff supplied inward my kit, this is ever nervous-making.
Next, I made a sunflower.
After that, I fused the optic pieces together. You tin run into the placement diagram below the teflon pressing canvas there.
After that, I made the pieces for the pig's body.
By that time, it was 3:00 as well as I'd promised to plow on the tiresome cooker. We had left over chicken as well as dumplings. I'd refrigerated it inward the tiresome cooker crockery, as well as all I needed to produce was plug it inward as well as plow it on. Also, I promised myself I'd produce a housekeeping chore when I turned it on...which I did. Yay me! It's difficult to tear myself away in 1 lawsuit I larn started on my sewing for the day. Usually, I'm non rattling disciplined that way, telling myself I tin ever produce it tomorrow. Working on that, because I loathe it when those chores pile up.
So in 1 lawsuit I had my housekeeping chore done, I went dorsum to function on the pig. From here, simply the olfactory organ was left.
And at that spot it is! I gauge he's eating that sunflower.
After that, I fused him to the background, as well as this 1 is finished.
When y'all run into this inward the assembled quilt, the sunflower extends out into the edge as well as the sashing,
as well as and so it's solely fused simply where the pig's olfactory organ is. The residuum is loose, as well as it volition live on fused when I accept all sections for the quilt sewn together...sometime during the twelvemonth 2147. (I similar to conception ahead.)
Smitty likes the days when all the "sewing" is express to the ironing board. He likes to larn all comfy inward my sewing chair.
With the Friendship's Garden block complete, I'm educate to deed on to the ninth of 12 dresses inward the Sundress quilt, as well as and so I traced out the side yesteryear side 1 yesterday morning.
Now it's hooped upwards as well as educate to go.
That's where I'll caput next. These stitch upwards pretty quick. Ya' gotta honey a block that fits all inward a unmarried hoop. Also today, grocery shopping. I can't await to locomote out at that spot alongside all the terrified shoppers getting educate for Thanksgiving! If I larn dorsum to the sewing room today (assuming I don't larn arrested for murdering a swain shopper), it volition live on to function on the side yesteryear side block for It's Raining Cats as well as Dogs. I'm closing inward on a destination for those blocks. More close that tomorrow, I hope.
