What? Is it Fri already? No. It's Finished. Thank Goodness It's Finished [and I tin larn on alongside my life]. Holy Moly. The Sundress quilt was maybe the longest finishing projection I've ever undertaken. It isn't the oldest together with longest-running UFO, but the piecing to destination it off took forever.
Oh wait...but that's non all. I finished the 3rd of 3 blocks for the "I Believe inward Snowmen" project. There are xvi embroidered blocks for this quilt. I did the showtime 1 on its own, but alongside xv remaining, it made feel to practise them inward groups of three. So each fourth dimension this projection comes upward for its plough nether my slow-stitching needle, I consummate 3 to a greater extent than blocks. Seven are finished now, alongside ix left to go. Here's the latest:
When I practise my tedious stitching this morning, I'll survive working on the 4th block for "Dancing Chickens together with Flying Pigs."
There was approximately housekeeping on yesterday's agenda, but I wanted to destination the optic of the Sundress quilt first. I had the blocks sewn into a whole, but I needed to add together ii borders. The inner-most edge was white.
After that, I added the floral border, together with the optic component subdivision of the quilt was complete.
Smitty was excited to larn on alongside the balance of it.
What's next?
And hence I set out the pieced blocks.
After that, I did my housework, had approximately lunch, together with took a curt nap. It was of import to shore upward my describe for the force to the finish, y'all know. By day's end...Ta-Da!
This is my goal for October's
Sadie was proud of the piece of work she did on this quilt too.
After all that, she also needed a nap.
While she was resting her weary bones, I made the quilt back. The dorsum is made from approximately cloth I picked upward at the showtime quilt store nosotros stopped at on our USA perimeter trip. The quilt store was The Dysfunctional Quilter inward Whitehall, Montana. I had exclusively simply started the embroidered blocks when I saw this fabric.
I banker's complaint inward the weblog post service I've linked to, it says I purchased v yards. When I measured it out yesterday, in that place were six. I'm non certain if I misremembered it, or if I got a costless yard of fabric. Either way, I exclusively needed virtually 4-1/2 yards for my quilt back, together with hence I get got a expert amount left over for approximately other quilt at approximately indicate inward the future.
I'll job that same floral from the quilt blocks together with the inner edge for the binding. I set it out on the correct side of the icon below.
Okay, hence I've tidied upward the sewing room, together with I'm create to larn caught upward on approximately of my other projects. After our trip to Colorado inward September, I'm a calendar month behind on everything. I incertitude I tin larn caught upward on everything earlier side past times side calendar month sometime. This month's agenda includes ii to a greater extent than big projects. I've set Oct 15th every bit the twenty-four hours I'll larn busy quilting the Wine Country quilt.
For now, it's inward the "Think, Think, Think" stage of quilting...which, if y'all must know, makes my caput hurt. Also, I've set Oct 25th every bit the twenty-four hours I'll larn started on approximately other projection for a dearest friend from high school. I'll tell to a greater extent than virtually that every bit the fourth dimension grows closer. All y'all withdraw to know is that it volition involve a trip to the cloth store.
As for today, I'm having breakfast alongside my niggling boy...my oldest niggling boy...who turned xl yesterday. Egads! I'm much also immature for him to survive hence old. After that, I'm getting my pilus cutting together with colored, together with then, if I tin muster the energy, I'll brand a trip to the grocery store. It doesn't audio similar in that place volition survive much fourth dimension left for sewing, does it? But there's almost ever fourth dimension for slow-stitching, together with that's where I'll start.
