The grocery store was a zoo yesterday. I broke my dominion of never shopping on Monday...mainly because I'd procrastinated. The no-shopping-on-Monday is exclusively the instant dominion on the list. Number 1 on the listing is never to store on the weekend. The parking lot was full, as well as the aisles were all stacked amongst boxes every bit the store was restocked next the weekend rush. Somehow nosotros all survived the trip, although I can't state anything well-nigh what happened after I left the store.
So, anyway, it was prissy to teach dorsum to the sewing car as well as run upwards the binding on the Wine Country quilt. I did this nether the watchful oculus of Himself. He's rattling picky well-nigh how bindings are sewn on.
The binding was already prepared, as well as and thence this went pretty quickly. I actually love that red.
While nosotros were downstairs, Sadie was engaged inward a "While-the-cat's-away" demonstration past times sitting on the transcend rung of the kitty pole. Usually this is Smitty's undisputed territory, but sometimes she's bold well-nigh taking over as well as asserting herself every bit Top Cat. She dares anyone to challenge her on this.
There was simply a piffling fourth dimension left for paw sewing, as well as I was able to plough the get-go corner when I needed to halt as well as brand dinner.
After dinner, I had plenty fourth dimension to extend the paw sewing nearly to the side past times side corner.
So that's where I'll devote my sewing fourth dimension today. Also, I'll live washing the fabrics you lot run into below.
These are most of the fabrics I'm using to brand a quilt for a love friend from high school. Andy is a Marine Corps veteran, as well as to a greater extent than or less fourth dimension agone he asked me if I could brand a quilt for him amongst the Marine Corps emblem. Having grown upwards a Marine Corps brat, I was happy to state yep to my friend. There is notwithstanding a backing stuff coming, as well as in that place volition likewise live a white that I'll clitoris from my stash.
I've mentioned this quilt before, as well as right away seems every bit skillful a fourth dimension every bit whatsoever to state to a greater extent than well-nigh it. As I was thinking well-nigh this quilt, I scanned Pinterest looking for something appropriate. I wanted to brand something nice, but I didn't desire to start something that would receive got a lot of time. In preparation, I purchased this panel from an Etsy shop:
My thinking was that I could environs it amongst to a greater extent than or less quilt blocks as well as borders. I exclusively needed to hit upwards one's hear on the configuration. The panel volition demand to live sewn together since all the pieces are separate. In my wanderings, I realized the panel is the exact size of the pump panel from the "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" quilt I made several years ago. It lives on our invitee room bed these days.
It's essentially a panel amongst 17 borders, as well as I'll live using the fabrics to a higher house to recreate it inward a unlike theme. In house of the pieced tulips, I'll live making Friendship stars--92 inward all. The flag stuff volition become where the tulip stuff is, as well as the residuum volition live a serial of red, white, blue, as well as grayness borders. The invention is to operate on it from start to finish, as well as and thence I'm hoping to complete the quilt transcend earlier the destination of November.
So that volition locomote on me busy for a while. Today I'll pass my fourth dimension finishing off Wine Country. Also, I'm hoping to attempt out a novel recipe that caught my eye. More on that later.
