Piled higher in addition to deeper...that's what they are. Yesterday I finished off sandwiching the remaining iii quilts for quilting. First upwardly were the Bag Ladies of the Fat Quarter Club. I had agency to a greater extent than backing cloth hither than I needed, in addition to thence I used my pinking shears to cutting off the bottom edge. I'll usage that cloth for something else eventually.
While I was smoothing this out, I noticed that approximately of the push embellishments had come upwardly off this lady. Possibly, I got interrupted in addition to never finished her. I'd move surprised if they came off because that's never happened amongst these hot laid nailheads. They stick fast ane time they're on. Either way, I'll complete that upwardly when I complete the quilting.
Also, this niggling lady had no push embellishment on her jacket at all. Some of these were stitched on the route amongst the agreement that I'd complete them when nosotros got abode from our trip. And, again, this tin hold off until the quilting is finished. I'll orbit her approximately buttons then.
Next upwardly was Wine Country, in addition to regrettably, I didn't mean value to accept a painting exhibit until it was all neatly folded upwardly for improver to the pile. But you lot yell back Wine Country, right?
Finally, Heart & Home. This is ane of my favorites of the group. There's something real pleasing to my optic almost this quilt. I actually dear red, black, in addition to white together. Coincidentally, those were our schoolhouse colors inwards high school.
So at that topographic point nosotros go...11 quilts for quilting inwards 2019. Missing from the pile is a holdover from my concluding sandwich-making spree, the Lucky Charm quilt. That ane is side past times side on the listing to move finished, in addition to thence I'll in all likelihood produce the Going Bananas quilt thence that I tin larn it off to Quilts for Kids.
After that, I took approximately fourth dimension to relax in addition to H2O ice my knee. It's been bothering me throughout this process. Too many trips upwardly in addition to downward stairs, I think. Eventually, I got dorsum to the Farm block. I brought the fused templates upstairs to cutting them out inwards a comfy chair. Only...there seems to move an obstruction to my progress...
If you lot could just...
Ummm, excuse me, but...
Is at that topographic point something I tin produce for you? Don't you lot guide maintain somewhere else you lot bespeak to move right now?
Well...that was challenging, but I got them all cutting out. The starting fourth dimension sunflower has 29 pieces.
For this, I sideslip the placement diagram nether the teflon pressing sheet. I tin usage only the tip of my Fe to stick them to the pressing canvass in addition to concur them inwards house piece I larn them all laid up.
With thence many pieces, eventually I can't run into the placement diagram whatever more...
in addition to thence I delineate it to the side in addition to eyeball the residue of the pieces.
I tin nevertheless usage it to larn the right orientation.
And at that topographic point nosotros go...one finished sunflower. This ane volition move peeled off the pressing canvass in addition to thence stored away until the quilt is sewn together sometime inwards 2063.
There's ane to a greater extent than sunflower to cutting out. The side past times side ane has only fourteen pieces, thence it should move a niggling less complicated. After that, I'll larn going on the cow.
Today is a cooking day, but I don't mean value it volition accept upwardly all my time. We're having a niggling get-together tomorrow. We got a gratis turkey at Thanksgiving, in addition to Mike wants to endeavor smoking it inwards his Traeger grill. We've invited the kids in addition to ane of the neighbors over. Since Mike's experiments inwards smoking guide maintain tended to accept a lot longer than expected, we'll guide maintain a ham available equally an emergency back-up plan. So my move is to brand a duo of salads, approximately baked beans, in addition to an apple tree crisp. I'll produce the salads today. Also, I bespeak to become pick-up the ham. If I tin larn all of that finished amongst fourth dimension to spare, I'll larn dorsum to my sewing.
So hither nosotros go...2018 is real nearly history. Happy New Year, my friends. Please move condom out at that topographic point today in addition to move dorsum to celebrate the novel twelvemonth amongst me ane time again side past times side year.
