There were a twosome of finishes yesterday...first, the 2nd block for the Appalachian Memories quilt. I spent to a greater extent than fourth dimension than commons on this yesterday, but I was enjoying myself. Besides...it allowed me to position off the gratuitous displace quilting on Wind inwards the Whiskers for but a piddling chip longer.
These are the 2 blocks I receive got for this quilt hence far. There's even hence a long means to go...12 blocks inwards all.
And then...Ta-Da!!!! I finished stitching downwards all the applique for the Wind inwards the Whiskers quilt. You receive got no stance how happy this makes me. This was the panel I worked on for yesterday's effort.
As I mentioned inwards yesterday's post, I started on the 2 kittens looking into the koi pond. It was proficient that I started hither because this department gave me the most trouble.
Some of the applique hither is at to the lowest degree iv layers deep, as well as I was having problems alongside thread breakage inwards those sections. Also, the piddling yellowish centers of the majestic flowers wanted to come upwards publish equally shortly equally the needle hitting them. I but held them inwards house alongside tweezers as well as and then stitched those suckers down.
When I had that department done, Himself arrived on the scene.
Purrdon me, but why would yous waste product your fourth dimension on these apartment cats when yous receive got this handsome hunka catman meat correct inwards furront of you?
Purrsonally, I mean value these cats are losers. None of them await similar me.
He wanted but a piddling chip of lonely fourth dimension outside. He likes to become out for a few minutes inwards the afternoon when Sadie is confined to the catio. I mean value he enjoys knowing he's getting a piddling chip of a special privilege. It's but similar when I was a kid, as well as my brother...7 years my senior...got to exercise a lot of stuff I couldn't do.
When I'd attended to the furry cat, I got dorsum to piece of occupation on the stuff kittens as well as stitched them downwards along alongside their daffodils as well as butterflies.
When this piddling calico kitten was finished, all of the applique was done. Yahoo!!!
There were quite a few piddling traveling stitches to go clipped, peculiarly on the back, as well as hence I took it downwards to the dining room tabular array as well as spread it out where I could run my hands over it as well as detect them. I'm certain I didn't detect all of them, but I volition eventually. Here's how the quilting looks from the back.
Below yous tin meet the flowers beneath the truthful cat pictured above.
These are around of the kittens across the bottom.
These are the kittens nigh the koi pond.
Stitching downwards the edges of the applique was the piece of occupation I was most dreading on this quilt. The balance volition go fairly straightforward. I'll go quilting the inner border today, at the real least. If at that topographic point is time, I'll larn a start on the outer border. Already, I receive got around designs worked out, as well as hence I'll larn to piece of occupation on that as well as exercise equally much equally I tin check inwards the day.
Also, I needed around other embroidery blueprint to stitch, as well as hence I receive got the 11th of 12 blocks for the Snow Globes quilt traced out.
This i is called "Silver Bells," as well as it's hooped upwards as well as waiting for me downstairs.
I'll pass a piddling fourth dimension on that earlier I postulate to accept off as well as exercise around grocery shopping. It's senior discount twenty-four hours at our grocery store today. I've decided senior discounts are the solely proficient matter most getting older...that, as well as living to larn older, I suppose. Being go is a definite perk of getting older.
So that's my day. What's on tap at your end?
