It took all day, but I managed to larn my 16 stars for the Sundress quilt finished. Remember these?
They've been turned into these.
Also, piece I was making these, I re-wrote the lyrics to that Johnny Cash song. See if this sounds familiar:
You run upwards 16 stars, what practise you lot get
Another twenty-four hr menses older too deeper inwards debt
Saint Peter don't you lot telephone phone me 'cause I can't go
I owe my somebody to the fab-er-ic store
It could last a hit, don't you lot think?
So, I tried at to the lowest degree iii times to larn the stars stacked on exceed of ane some other for chain-piecing. But each fourth dimension I ended upwards alongside mismatched pieces, or extra pieces, or something else that wasn't right. Finally I decided the best agency to run upwards them was to practise them 4 at a time. So I set out 4 stars-worth of one-half foursquare triangles.
I covered them alongside rulers for safe-keeping because, you lot know...
And, you lot know...
Lucky for me, they each took a plow on the quilts-to-be-quilted pile.
When I had the maiden off set sewn together, they looked similar this.
Continuing on, I sewed the minute set together.
I had the 3rd set partially sewn together when it was fourth dimension to larn pick-up our CSA share.
When I got home, I planned what to practise alongside all the veggies too lay them away. Then, I got at nowadays dorsum to travel on the 3rd set of stars.
I had the quaternary set all set out when it was fourth dimension for dinner.
Mike has been working exterior after dinner, too that gave me plenty fourth dimension to complete upwards the quaternary too final set. When I pressed the final block open, oops. That ain't right.
Usually I wouldn't discovery something similar this until it was sewn into the quilt too quilted over. But I set it to correct too the quaternary set was finished. Ta-Da!
Miss Sadie helped me cutting some other slice of stuff for however some other embroidery take-along piece.
I'm moving along alongside the Sweet Land of Liberty block, too thence that makes me mean value I require some other ane to accept along...just inwards case, you lot know. This morning, I'll line out some other shorty, this ane from Bird Brain Designs.
I wanted to practise something small, too something I could draw from my left over stash of floss. Robin Kingsley is the designer at Bird Brain Designs. She suggests perle cotton wool for this piece, but I'm going to purpose iii strands of floss from already injure floss bobbins inwards my many boxes of floss scraps.
It's going to last a busy day. I'm getting my monthly pedicure, too I'm also getting my pilus colored. You powerfulness cry back I was supposed to larn a perm final week, but too thence it was rescheduled. And too thence my friend, SJSM, gave me a dissimilar idea. She told me she solely colors her pilus at nowadays too the color gives her the torso she wants without the require to perm. And that reminded me I used to color my hair, too I cry back it e'er gave me prissy body. So instead of perming today, I'm going to effort getting some color. It's a adept fourth dimension to practise it, too I tin e'er perm adjacent fourth dimension some if I'm non happy alongside it. I'm non going to alter the color of my hair...I'll merely larn color to comprehend the ane or 2
Also, I require to figure out the nutrient for our upcoming trip. Picking upwards a charge of CSA vegetables merely a few days earlier nosotros travel out complicates the picture. My fridge infinite is express inwards our truck camper, too thence I require to last creative for the outset of our trip. More later. For now, it's fourth dimension to larn going.
