It was some other mutual frigidness 24-hour interval outside, which makes a cracking 24-hour interval for keeping busy inwards the sewing room. My kickoff chore of the 24-hour interval was to laid out the laundry. I solely direct this upwards because it meant I washed the piece of flannel I wanted to purpose inwards lieu of batting for the embroidery sampler. With that clean, dried in addition to conveniently pre-shrunk, I was able to sandwich the embroidery sampler to railroad train it for manus quilting.
This piece volition non endure manus quilted equally much equally it volition endure manus embroidered alongside a running stitch. The solely deviation is that I'll endure "embroidering" through 3 layers. So this begs the question: Is at that spot whatsoever deviation betwixt manus quilting in addition to manus embroidery? Aside from the layers in addition to the sort of thread, it seems to me they are the same. Whatever. Now it's kitted upwards in addition to railroad train to accept along when nosotros caput south.
With that finished, I got to plough over my challenge piece for Project Quilting: Abecedarius. If y'all missed my post yesterday, in addition to hence know this challenge should endure inspired past times the letters of the alphabet. And it's sort of fortuitous that this topic came along because I've been thinking I'd similar to notice a blueprint that included all the letters of the alphabet. And, yes, I know I could in all likelihood gratuitous piece them, simply that would require thinking. As alongside hence many things, I'm much likewise sometime for thinking. The concluding fourth dimension an intelligent idea entered my head, I nearly started a fire. Lesson learned.
So I inquired of my adept friend, The Google, in addition to came upon this piffling Etsy shop from Ellis in addition to Higgs, where I could acquire the entire alphabet in addition to a bonus mini quilt. The mini quilt blueprint is perfect for this challenge. Also, it was an instant pdf download, in addition to hence I could direct hold it inwards my hot piffling hands instantly...always a adept thing.
Here's the kickoff block: An L.
Sorry, y'all don't direct hold plenty coin yet to purchase a vowel, simply proceed trying. Instead...how nearly this heart.
The middle panel of the quilt is finished now. I took this movie thinking I would endeavour to proceed y'all guessing. But in addition to hence there's that link to the Etsy shop, in addition to hence the mystery is ruined.
So here's where I left it. "L is for Love." It nevertheless needs a piffling work. What y'all don't run into hither are the around 146 dissimilar fabrics I lined upwards equally potential borders in addition to bindings. When Mike got home, nosotros had a cloth consult, in addition to he helped me select the ones I'll purpose to complete it off.
By the way, the background cloth was used equally a quilt dorsum at i request inwards time. I had forgotten nearly the quilt dorsum in addition to expected to notice yardage equally I unrolled it from my stash. When I opened it up, I industrial plant life pieces of it already cutting into convenient strips. What a overnice surprise! Today's goal is to acquire it to binding stage. Hopefully, I'll endure hand-sewing the binding past times day's end.
When I finished inwards the sewing room yesterday, I mixed upwards some breadstuff dough. This sat inwards the fridge overnight. It's inwards my breadstuff proofer correct now, warming up. It has a long day's travel ahead of it. I'll tell to a greater extent than nearly it tomorrow.
For concluding night's dinner, I made an interesting dish. This is from the Cooking Light Diet. This is a Spinach in addition to Feta Quiche alongside Sweet Potato Crust. It's non difficult to make, simply it does accept a piffling over an sixty minutes because it spends quite a chip of fourth dimension inwards the oven. I used my toaster oven for this. You thinly piece some sweetness tater in addition to business a pie plate alongside that. Then y'all roast the sweetness tater "crust" for a bit. Then it's filled alongside some sauteed onion in addition to spinach in addition to covered alongside an egg mixture. Then y'all sprinkle feta cheese over the top. When it came from the oven, it looked similar this:
The sweetness tater crust is pretty easy, in addition to y'all don't direct hold to fuss over it likewise much. Mine had some gaps, in addition to I worried it was likewise thick for all the materials that was added. In the end, it gave me no problem at all. It was rattling tasty, in addition to nosotros had the leftovers for breakfast this morning time along alongside a toasted English linguistic communication muffin.
Generally, I'm non a cracking fan of feta cheese. (Feta makes me sweata.) It was adept inwards this dish. It added a overnice salty bite.
Since I was finishing upwards an well mass piece I was stitching yesterday, I ended upwards stitching longer than commons in addition to filled inwards the side past times side component of the hoop.
Now I'm moving downward to the carrots. I recollect this is going to endure a fast finish.
Today I'll endure working on that breadstuff recipe, in addition to I'll complete off my challenge piece. Also, I suspect the side past times side Tiny Tuesday block is posted, although I haven't looked for it yet. If so, I'll endeavour to acquire that i done. After that, I don't recollect I'll direct hold whatsoever to a greater extent than excuses for putting off quilting the flamingos. They're upwards next...by tomorrow at the latest.
