It was a no sewing twenty-four hr menses yesterday, mainly because I couldn't remain focused for all the fun unpacking together with laundry I needed to do. There's nonetheless enough of laundry to operate on today. Yesterday's included i charge of finished Solstice to Solstice quilt, together with 3 loads of towels. And unpacking the camper could receive got been finished inwards virtually an hour, but I kept sitting downward together with scrolling mindlessly on unlike weep upwards apps. Oh well...sometimes I intend nosotros all take away a twenty-four hr menses to endure unfocused together with distracted. By day's destination it was all finished, together with thence today volition endure NBS (nothing but sewing).
So let's simply bring a human face at what happened yesterday...which wasn't much. As I mentioned, I washed the Solstice to Solstice quilt. This is going to endure a snuggle quilt. It powerfulness destination upwards inwards the 5th wheel, but I haven't decided for sure yet. I genuinely dearest a freshly washed together with dried quilt. It's thence soft together with cozy, together with I similar how poofy it gets inwards the dryer.
Throughout the day, I was going through the lengthy procedure of seasoning ii pocket-size shape Fe skillets. When I got interested inwards making skillet desserts for two, I purchased a pocket-size shape Fe skillet. As it turns out, I already had ii of the same size stashed inwards our attic alongside our quondam tent camping ground gear. I'd been upwards late with Matthew picking through that materials to run into if at that topographic point was anything he wanted. When I constitute these skillets, I decided to flavor them, together with and thence lay i inwards each of the RV's thence that I'm ever ready when a skillet dessert for ii emergency arises.
So, bring a human face at these babies. I finished them off this morning. The i on the left had a sparse patina of rust on it. The i on the correct was variety of silvery similar the handle. (I genuinely intend this i belonged to my mother. When nosotros started tent camping, I variety of recall her giving it to us.)
I read Cook's Illustrated's article entitled, "The Ultimate Way to Season Cast Iron." You'll in all likelihood take away a membership to Cook's Illustrated to opened upwards that link. If you lot can't opened upwards it, the procedure is described here. I constitute this small bottle of flaxseed crude on Amazon, together with that's what I used.
I didn't follow the procedure to the missive of the alphabet because I didn't desire to run my oven at its highest temperature for v hours on a summertime day, together with thence I used my toaster oven. I'm happy with the result. It was a lengthy process, but required entirely a lilliputian hands-on time. The remainder of the time, I simply went virtually my concern together with allow the toaster oven create all the work.
Okay, together with also, I decided to movement into the Flamingles quilt inwards the upcoming Road to California show inwards January. We'll endure heading southward side yesteryear side winter, together with it'll endure my root chance to genuinely attend the show. Wouldn't it endure fun to run into my ain quilt hanging there? So, if my quilt is accepted, I'll endure thrilled, although I don't await to win anything with this quilt. Still, it's my ain pattern from my ain photograph, together with I'm proud of it. I promise the people picking quilts volition similar it too. I needed to submit a full-quilt photo, together with thence I spent simply about fourth dimension getting it gussied upwards for this shot.
Notifications won't leave of absence until the destination of November, together with thence I receive got enough of fourth dimension to seize with teeth my nails until then. Wish me luck.
Since at that topographic point was no fourth dimension fifty-fifty for slow-stitching yesterday, I spent simply about fourth dimension this morning. This is my mystery project. Only a peek for you lot for the fourth dimension being.

Geez! Don't bring that pic until I larn my mascara on!
Today I'll endure doing multiple loads of laundry...clothes today...but at that topographic point volition endure enough of fourth dimension for sewing. I receive got 3 projects on my wishing list. First, describe out the side yesteryear side 3 hearts for the Year of Hearts embroidery project. Second, grab upwards on the Tiny Tuesday blocks. I'm ii weeks behind, together with thence I desire to larn caught upwards earlier yet simply about other i is released. Third, brand the lilliputian Beach Hut quilt to endure hung inwards the camper. It's such a tiny lilliputian thing, it should larn together fairly quickly. I picked out the fabrics yesterday, together with thence I'm ready to go.
