It was hard to tear myself away from the Let's RV cross stitch yesterday. I kept telling myself to halt as well as larn moving, but I was unsuccessful until I'd stitched it this far.
Satisfied that I'd filled inward plenty of the hoop, I moved it to the left. When I took it off the piece, it looked similar this.
This morning, it looks similar this, as well as that's where I'll option it upwards afterwards I complete here.
It was fourth dimension to larn going. There were errands to run as well as groceries to buy. When I got back, at that spot were deliveries at the door. Recently, I decided to organize i of the cupboards inward the identify yesteryear adding a lazy susan. In my shopping, I constitute a lazy susan alongside three-inch sides. Here's the thing: With an RV, i is e'er worried most things falling over when i goes downward the road. To that end, I've e'er carried tall bottles inward the light-green handbasket you lot run into inward the icon below.
As alongside whatever novel domicile, whether it endure on wheels or corporation ground, what worked inward the onetime identify doesn't e'er operate inward the novel place. This closet was actually unacceptably hard to bargain with. When I saw the lazy susan alongside sides, I idea it was the response to my prayers. So I braved the icy mutual depression temperature winds as well as walked downward to the RV to run into if I could tidy upwards the space, as well as it worked similar a charm.
And phew! I experience thence much improve now, don't you?
Having allayed my anxiety most the messy cupboard, it was fourth dimension to larn to operate finishing off the Shop Hop quilt. There were only 3 blocks left. This get-go i was from a sort of particular shop. We were visiting Colonial Williamsburg. It's such a fun identify to visit. Colonial Williamsburg is a measuring dorsum inward time, visiting a town where folks are dressed inward menses costume as well as engaging inward menses tasks. Here, these gentlemen were making beer, if I'm remembering correctly.
As it turns out, at that spot was a quilt store there. You tin read my spider web log postal service most it right here. Interestingly, when I looked dorsum at that post, I banking concern notation the bring upwards on the front end of the store is "Mary Dickenson."
I took my embroidered bring upwards off the receipt from the place, as well as thence I receive got no explanation for the difference. Whatever. It was cracking fun shopping there, as well as of course of written report I had to purchase roughly fabric.
The adjacent i was from i of the shops I visited land spending the 24-hour interval alongside my friend, Robin, touring the quilt shops of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. You mightiness shout out back Robin equally the mom of The Emperor.
This store was the terminal i nosotros visited on our day, as well as I selected this stuff equally a remembrance of my fourth dimension alongside Robin. Do you lot run into The Emperor there?
Sadly, The Emperor crossed over the rainbow couple this yesteryear year. Robin has roughly novel kitties to hold her busy now. Meet Coal as well as Miner:
From what Robin tells me, these 2 are hell on wheels...or paws...or whatever. Their pawtrait coming soon. (I receive got to produce my 2 grandkittens first.)
Finally, I was to the terminal block...this i from Sew Classic Fabrics inward Harrisonburg, Virginia. This i is from the mo quilt store nosotros visited inward Harrisonburg. You tin read my spider web log postal service most our 24-hour interval right here. I chose this lady põrnikas stuff because we'd been plagued yesteryear lady bugs inward the RV since leaving Winnepeg inward Canada. I don't know if nosotros picked them upwards inward Winnepeg or if it only happened to endure a skilful twelvemonth for lady bugs. Whatever the case, nosotros were finding dozens every 24-hour interval for several weeks.
This was a fun shop. It was a petty hard to honour it since it was located within a mall. What I shout out back most most this store was the background music that was playing. The shopkeeper was a adult woman wearing a traditional Mennonite cap, as well as she was playing roughly beautiful arrangements of church building hymns. I'm non a religious person, but I was raised inward the church, as well as I all the same dearest roughly of the music. The slice playing land I was at that spot was this one...a favorite of mine. If you lot can't run into the video, as well as thence click right here.
Okay, as well as thence I was enjoying the music thence much, it was hard to leave. It looks similar this store is all the same inward business. You tin honour its spider web presence right here.
So then, the solely affair left to produce was to run upwards the blocks onto the residuum of the quilt, as well as hither it is...a finished flimsy. It ends upwards at 78 x 78 inches.
There was all the same fourth dimension left inward the day, as well as thence I made a dorsum from this fabric...which I occur to think is perfect.
And now, it has taken its identify on the quilts-to-be-quilted pile. Possibly I'll larn to it this fall.
So that was the goal of my sewing day. Today I'll endure working on blocks. My friend Sally over at Objects of Design has created the cutest kitty block for Tiny Tuesday. I'll endure making that one. Also, I desire to brand a block for the novel Garden Sunshine Block of the Month kicking off at Quilt Doodle Doodles. This BOM has a stuff trace associated alongside it, but I'm going to purpose my ain scraps. 2019 is the twelvemonth of scraps inward my sewing room. It's larn out urgent that I bargain alongside them or run a peril beingness smothered to expiry yesteryear fabric. If there's all the same fourth dimension left inward the day, I'll brand the adjacent row of blocks for the Mulligan Stew quilt.
There's lots to produce today. Fortunately, Mr. Smithers awakened me at 4:00 a.m. thence that I could larn an early on start. He'll only nap right hither land I produce my work.
