The pelting cleared upwards yesterday later on a dismal hateful solar daytime on Tuesday. I took the chance to leave of absence for a walk inward the afternoon. From the exceed of our hill, it looked similar this.
Being at the exceed of the hill, we're looking downward into the valley inward the contrary direction from the mountains.
Don't allow those threatening skies fool you. The pelting is gone for at to the lowest degree a span of days.
The morning time started alongside tardily stitching on the Appalachian Memories quilt. The barn is outset to emerge.
After that, I did approximately housework, too hence sewed the binding on the Alley Cats Quilt Guild. There was approximately other stuff selected first, but it was sort of a ho-hum brown. Then, I pose eyes on this stripe. It has all the colors from the quilt, too it's a lot to a greater extent than fun. I'll larn started alongside the hand-stitching on this when I complete upwards here. I'm non certain I tin larn it all finished inward a unmarried day, but sure yesteryear tomorrow.
Since this ane is destined for an opened upwards topographic point on the Mewseum walls, I gave it approximately corner pockets. The quilt is 28 x 28 inches, too hence I also gave it a span of middle loops to continue it from sagging. We'll run a dowel rod through it too that makes a squeamish way to hang it.
It's been a spell since I mentioned the Mewseum. You tin read most it at this onetime weblog postal service correct here.
With the alley cats equally I could accept it, I made the newest Tiny Tuesday block. This is a 3-D bow necktie block. I'll acknowledge to having my doubts most whether this would move out. The excellent tutorial was written yesteryear Angie at Quilting on the Crescent, too this block went together chop-chop too easily.
Look at how cool that 3-D knot industrial plant out. I actually similar this block.
Then I added the diagonal setting, too it was finished.
Before I quit for the day, I made the firstly block from the Countdown to Christmas blocks from Moda. I've been wanting to do something alongside the scraps from my blues too greens, too hence I'll do that for this quilt. The master copy from Moda was all done inward blood-red too white. It was really tempting to become alongside the reds, but I'm afraid the blues too greens are most urgently needing to move used. I'll move doing these blocks equally a sew-along alongside Mama Spark's World. She's kindly included the links to the blocks on Moda's website. You tin run across where the sew-along gets nether way correct here.
There were 2 blocks posted yesterday, too we'll move doing 2-3 blocks per month. This firstly ane is called "Country Winter."
So for today's agenda, I'll do the minute block for the Jan sew-along, too hence I'll larn on alongside something else.
Also yesterday, it seemed similar a practiced fourth dimension to switch out my seasonal tabular array runners. These are patently for Valentine's Day. This ane is for the dining room table. Sorry, this shot is hence weirdly angled.
And hence this ane is for our kitchen breakfast bar. (Some people telephone weep upwards this a peninsula, but nosotros similar "breakfast bar" better.)
So spell I was looking at this one, it occurred to me that it could simply equally easily move a runner for St. Patrick's Day if I were to larn inward in greens too switch out the hearts for shamrocks. And that was when a squirrel ran by. Almost directly I got on the mesh to detect approximately jumbo emerald dark-green rickrack. I establish approximately easily inward someone's Etsy shop, too hence that's winging it's way toward me already. (I suppose I could guide keep gone to JoAnn's, but I was inward such a practiced mood, hence why ruin it?)
I nevertheless guide keep lots of greens left over from the Lucky Charm topper, too hence I should guide keep everything I bespeak to larn this going. It's a QAYG pattern...free off the internet. You tin find it correct here, but you'll guide keep to hunt downward your ain shamrock templates. I searched Google for "drawings of shamrocks," selected the ane I liked too hence made it the sizes I wanted inward Photoshop Elements.
Cricket's pawtrait volition guide keep to hold off approximately other span of days spell I chase later on this piffling dark-green squirrel. I know you lot sympathise my dilemma. It's supposed to move approximately other reasonable hateful solar daytime weather-wise, too hence I'll leave of absence for approximately other walk. Gotta brand hay (and quilts) spell the Sun shines.
