It was afterwards 2:00 p.m. when I was able to larn dorsum to my sewing yesterday. It volition in all likelihood live something similar that today. I don't choose to caput out quite equally early, but early on enough. After my oculus appointment, I choose a issue of errands to run inward town.
As for yesterday, I surprised myself yesteryear stitching the residue of the means roughly the Quiltemala quilt, in addition to instantly that puppy is finished.
This was my goal for August's OMG, in addition to thence I'll live linking upwardly to the political party at the halt of the month.
The designing tin live constitute inward this book:
I've made several quilts from the same book, in addition to in that place is some other ane sitting on my tabular array awaiting my attention. As for the Quiltemala quilt, I used all of the fabrics, piecing the leftovers into a quilt back.
Smitty helped me tally the quilt downwards on my lap piece I stitched the lastly ii sides. Don't permit 'er buck y'all off there, Buddy.
Just inward example he got tired, Sadie was at the ready equally my kickoff alternate. She was also busy killing her truthful cat toys.
When it was finished, I folded it upwardly in addition to waited for my quilt-holder-upper to arrive. (Cats are also brusque for this task.)
While I waited, I watered the pots outside. Sadie, having set waste matter to the toy critters inside, was getting ready for a nap inward her kitty identify outside.
For dinner lastly night, I tried some other novel recipe. (I pretty much brand a novel recipe every night.) This ane used upwardly quite a few of the CSA veggies, including zucchini, basil, tomatoes, garlic, in addition to broccoli. It's a one-dish meal, in addition to it was pretty tasty.
At some betoken inward time, I tore this ane out of a magazine, in addition to it's been sitting on my desk. Since I can't link to it online, I'm giving y'all the recipe correct here. I changed the directions only a bit, but the ingredients are all the same. The master copy recipe had me adding the Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture piece it was nonetheless inward the pan. I knew that was going to brand a terrible mess, in addition to thence I sprinkled the Parmesan over the tomatoes inward the skillet, in addition to thence poured the cream mixture over. Here's the recipe:

While nosotros were preparing in addition to eating dinner, I gulped hard, crossed my fingers, in addition to washed the Quiltemala quilt. I've been worried sick whether those hand-woven fabrics would fray apart inward the wash. I washed in addition to dried it on fragile cycle, in addition to it came through amongst flight colors. No frayed seams, no unraveling, no nothing. Phew! And it looks thence pretty in addition to poofy instantly that it's been fluffed upwardly amongst a skillful washing.
So ends some other project. As before long equally I position out this post, I'll larn busy stitching upwardly the Zebra binding. It should live slow plenty to complete today, in addition to that volition live ii finishes inward ii days.
