Nearly the whole solar daytime was spent sewing the binding on Wine Country yesterday, in addition to I'm happy to tell that quilt is forthwith history. It finishes at 58 x 73 inches...a overnice sized throw.
Here's how it looks from the back. If I'm remembering correctly, I used every flake of stuff from both front end in addition to dorsum piecing together the quilt back.
When I squared it up, I cutting off a fair amount of that cork fabric, in addition to I'll hold upwardly able to role that inwards some other small-scale quilt.
Of course, I owe my success to the heroic efforts of my cats. Over the course of report of ii days, they were my constant companions every bit I did the mitt stitching.
Now the quilt has been washed, in addition to it's taking its house inwards the living room. Mike is peculiarly fond of it, in addition to and then he'll role it to popular off on warm on the coming mutual frigidness mornings.
There was simply a lilliputian fourth dimension left inwards the day, in addition to and then I started sewing together the middle panel for the Marine Corps quilt.
The middle panel is intended to hold upwardly a small-scale stand-alone wall hanging or tabular array runner or whatever you lot mightiness role a small-scale quilt for. I was disappointed to discovery at that topographic point were no dimensions listed for the larger panels, in addition to inwards whatever case, they were already cutting apart. The instructions said only to "cut inside the marked lines." So I carefully lined upwardly my ruler "within the marked lines," in addition to cut...only to realize likewise belatedly that they were non even in addition to then size. Duh. Clearly, I wasn't thinking ahead far enough. So, you lot tin run into I've added some strips to the laissez passer on in addition to bottom of the uppermost panel, in addition to I'll in all likelihood create got to add together some to the sides every bit well. It'll hold upwardly fine when it's all done, but I was annoyed amongst it simply the same. We're non off to a proficient start. Today volition in all likelihood teach a lilliputian better.
As the Sun was setting yesterday, I got exterior to accept a painting demo of 1 of our Japanese maple trees. Its leaves are light-green inwards the saltation in addition to summer. In the fall, it puts on quite a show.
We create got some carmine leafage maples inwards the other direction, in addition to their leaves are in addition to then vivid carmine they're practically glowing. I tried to teach their painting demo too, but amongst the darkness, the images were blurry. I'll teach them this morning time in addition to demo you lot tomorrow.
My solar daytime should hold upwardly to a greater extent than frequently than non sewing today, in addition to I'm hoping to teach good along amongst the Marine Corps quilt. There are simply a few fry things to create approximately the house, but the adjacent several days hold off proficient amongst sunshine in addition to sewing aplenty.
