It was thence early on when I posted to my weblog yesterday, I wasn't able to portion the sunrise alongside y'all until today. We had pelting yesterday, together with the clouds were looking ominous alongside the rising sun.
The pelting didn't outset until belatedly inwards the afternoon, together with thence I was yet able to exit together with push clit some weeds before I left to drive into town. Also, at that spot was fourth dimension to pose the truck camper bedding dorsum together. If you've e'er made a bed inwards a truck camper (or, indeed, most RV's), together with thence you'll appreciate this solution Mike found. It's basically a king-sized sleeping bag. Turn it alongside i side up, together with it's a warm comforter for winter.
Flip it over, together with y'all lead hold a lighter-weight summertime version.
Inside, at that spot are regular sheets that attach to the outer rhythm out alongside velcro. They are removable together with auto washable, every bit is the outer shell. The outer rhythm out zips together, together with the go yesteryear together with bottom tin hold upwards separated from i another. I set it all out on the living room flooring together with pose it dorsum together. Smitty prefers the wintertime side.
After that, I drove into town for my perm...only at that spot was no perm because of a scheduling mix-up. My calendar said Wednesday, but hers said Friday. And I know I would never lead hold scheduled a perm on my Walk-With-Sue day, thence I'm certain the error was hers. Whatever. No role getting worked upwards virtually it. Nobody died, together with thence it's all good. I was able to run some errands spell I was inwards town.
So I was dwelling before than expected, together with that gave me fourth dimension to outset cutting the pieces I'd postulate for the Sundress quilt. And I cut, together with cut, together with cut, the residual of the day, together with I'm non finished yet. There were all these strips for the borders together with binding.
And all these spacers together with sashings for the clothes blocks.
And all these pieces for the star blocks, half-square triangles, together with the like.
The Dresdens lead hold a yellowish yo-yo inwards the center. The blueprint provided a newspaper template, which was precisely the size of a compact disk, together with thence that volition brand a handy template. I decided to but cutting a strip, together with I'll cutting the circles for the yo-yo's every bit I go...or peradventure I'll cutting them ahead of time. It would brand a practiced take-along projection for when nosotros locomote side yesteryear side month. (I lead hold no delusions virtually finishing this quilt go yesteryear before nosotros go.)
Also, these background pieces for the Dresdens.
And piles together with piles of blades for the Dresdens. (And expression at me alongside that novel sewing vocabulary word..."blades." Yeah, I've been making Dresdens all my life. Since yesterday.)
Sadie was her green helpful self, keeping things organized together with reading the instructions to me.
Smitty snoopervised from the quilts-to-be-quilted pile. Also, he turned on his lasers for extra room lighting.
If you've e'er wondered virtually Sadie's stubby tail, here's i possibility.
Okay, together with alongside all that cutting, I'm yet non finished. I postulate to cutting 24 to a greater extent than blades from each of the fabrics below.
Already this morning, I've decided to switch out that cloth on the far left for something alongside to a greater extent than orange. Also, I mightiness switch out i of the pinks for to a greater extent than contrast. Those 2 fabrics are fairly similar, together with I intend a unlike pinkish mightiness hold upwards better.
Matthew returned belatedly terminal night. He had a chore interview inwards the Bay Area yesterday, together with I heard him drive upwards some midnight terminal night. He'll hold upwards alongside us for dinner. I tried a novel sandwich recipe a yoke of weeks ago, together with it's something I know he'll like. Hopefully, I'll hold upwards able to complete off the cutting today together with larn far some actual sewing. It's a twenty-four hr menstruation at dwelling today, thence at that spot should hold upwards enough of time. Maybe I'll lead hold a suspension from the weeds today.
