The quilting is one-half finished for Hocuspocusville now. I'm inwards a mad dash to instruct the binding sewn on past times Thursday. We're taking a picayune weekend getaway, as well as hand-sewing the binding would brand a proficient take-along project. If that is to happen, I demand to quilt at to the lowest degree 3 of the remaining half dozen blocks today. I intend I can, I intend I can, I intend I can.
As for yesterday, the blocks I'm quilting are located on the virtually hard component of the quilt for my machine. They are large blocks on the sides of the quilt. Since I can't quilt upside down, I receive got to plough the quilt correct side upwards for the exceptional motifs. Fortunately, the McTavishing tin endure done inwards whatever direction, as well as and thus I tin plough the mass of the quilt toward the dorsum of the car where it's less bothersome. The kickoff 1 I quilted yesterday was the "Hermione's Split Ends." Apparently, this is a salon for witches. For this block, I quilted a bat inwards the sky.
For each specialty motif, I echo only about it a few times to instruct inwards stand upwards out from the McTavishing.
Any witch getting her pilus done is going to take her hat, as well as and thus this seemed similar a proficient house for a witch's chapeau too.
Also, a spider spider web close the tree...
And some pavers on the walkway.
When the McTavishing was finished, it looked similar this:
My helper truthful cat was sleeping on the task inwards the chair beside me.
Looks similar that chair could occupation a proficient going-over amongst a lint brush. Good grief. Either that, or shave the pilus from the cat.
Okay, as well as thus the adjacent block was the Black Cauldron, as well as that seemed an obvious house for a bubbling witch's cauldron.
Also, a ghost coming from the top. He's a picayune hard to brand out inwards this image, but his caput is at the top.
Also, some siding on the edifice for function.
When the block was finished, it looked similar this:
My loyalties were divided yesterday because I demand to instruct going on my projection for Project Quilting 10.4, "Pixel Play." I had an persuasion inwards mind, as well as and thus I pulled fabrics kickoff affair yesterday morning. Yummy colors, huh?
It's the argue exclusively 2 blocks got quilted yesterday because 1 time I started sewing on this, it was hard to tear myself away. It's sandwiched for quilting now. At 17 x 21 inches, it won't receive got long to complete it off as well as stitch the binding on. I'll complete that today. I variety of similar to move along these a subway until they're finished, as well as and thus I'm only giving you lot a peek today.
Any guesses? I'll present you lot the finished quilt inwards tomorrow's post.
There was a fun picayune surprise inwards the post service yesterday. (It was genuinely Saturday's post service but, similar slugs, nosotros hadn't been out to the mailbox until yesterday.) My friend Karen sent me a package of sunflower seeds. Karen knows I dear the sunflowers inwards summer. Also, she sent this picayune charm foursquare of fabric. She said it reminded her of Smitty as well as Sadie. Which 1 create you lot intend is Sadie, as well as which 1 Smitty?
Finally...today's inchy. I as well as thus await forrad to these each morning.
So there's laundry to create as well as quilts to quilt, as well as oh yes, some housekeeping too. What would I create without housekeeping to fill upwards inwards only about the cracks of my days?
