You mightiness intend I'm moving slow because of all that snowfall shoveling I've been doing, but y'all would intend wrong. Not ane shovel sum has been shoveled. I've only been within nether the quilts staying warm as well as deadening stitching.
Yesterday I was determined to destination the final of the Snow Globes blocks, as well as hours into it...mission accomplished!
It's difficult to meet much inwards the icon below because the floss is pastel for the most part. I tried to brighten it up, but the background textile isn't especially conducive to photograph manipulation. (Not certain why it turned pinkish inwards the upper left corner...nothing unlike well-nigh that slice from the others.) So anyway...here are all 12 blocks together, as well as create to locomote sewn into a quilt top.
And then obviously, I needed something novel to stitch. I got to operate tracing out the eighth of nine blocks for the Friendship's Garden quilt.
When it was traced out, I hooped it upwardly create for this morning's stitching.
And in that location it is...started. This morning's stitching was mainly using upwardly the leftover bits on my floss bobbins. Tomorrow's stitching path volition locomote a lilliputian to a greater extent than organized.
Also, I stitched the 11th inchy for National Embroidery month.
That completes the transcend 2 rows, as well as hither they are.
We soundless own got snowfall on the ground, but it's good higher upwardly freezing as well as it's raining this morning. The snowfall won't final long nether those conditions. The kitties are only equally happy to locomote done amongst it.
Sadie doesn't look to heed the mutual frigidness as well as the wet, but it's deep plenty as well as she's brusk plenty that she sinks upwardly to her axles when she goes outside. That doesn't halt her from trying, however.
Smitty only watches. He thinks she's crazy going on into that stuff. He'll only stick hither on his kitty pole, give thank y'all you.
Not a unmarried quilting stitch was taken on the Hocuspocusville quilt yesterday. I'm soundless fighting the let's-get-started intimidation of quilting a large quilt into which I've invested then much time. I took the commencement stitches on this quilt on July 6, 2015, as well as then I own got nearly iv years invested then far. And quilting is difficult for me, then I own got to operate upwardly a skillful flake of courage to tackle a projection similar this. I intend today, I mightiness overcome the inertia as well as larn it going inwards earnest. Like then many things, ane time I larn started, it volition accept over my life as well as I'll operate on it feverishly until it's finished. I'm only waiting for the gratis displace quilting tipping signal to kicking in.
There's a brusk grocery shopping outing inwards my future, but I'll likely await until tomorrow when the roads are probable to locomote cleared of whatsoever leftover snow. Today I own got ane housekeeping chore, as well as I'm going to bake a loaf of breadstuff from the final of the breadstuff dough. Aside from that, there's null standing inwards the means of me as well as the quilting. Perhaps a seize amongst teeth of chocolate volition fortify my courage. What create y'all think?
