As I was walking out the door yesterday, heading for my monthly pedicure, I noticed a text message warning on my phone. As it turns out my blast technician had a medical emergency, in addition to was trying to reschedule. So that was off the calendar. And amongst my grocery shopping already done, in addition to my calendar cleared for said pedicure in addition to grocery shopping trip, what could I exercise but pass the twenty-four hours sewing? Practically a tragedy, right? Oh yes, in addition to my blast tech contacted me afterward inwards the twenty-four hours to tell she was fine, thus all is good amongst her too.
Before all the excitement in addition to calendar clearing, I turned the 3rd corner on It's Raining Cats in addition to Dogs.
When I acquire going on it this morning, I human face I'll complete it off. That volition experience skillful after thus much time...nearly vi total years.
Upon learning I was going nowhere fast, I headed into the sewing room in addition to got dorsum to run on the Hearts A-Plenty. For yesterday's effort, I added the 3rd row of hearts.
As I've been working on this, I've been going dorsum in addition to forth well-nigh how to complete it off. Border? No border? Skinny border, in addition to thus a broad border? No edge in addition to a flange? Binding only? As I've toyed amongst each of these ideas, I've spent fourth dimension perusing my stash to run across what makes the most sense. Finally, I've settled on binding only. I persuasion well-nigh but corporation black, but thus chose the dark in addition to white polka point yous run across on the left inwards the icon below.
I dearest a fun binding.
So that was plenty paper-piecing for i day. Since I'm expecting to complete off the hand-stitching on the binding today, it seemed similar a skillful persuasion to describe out the side past times side block for the Appalachian Memories quilt. This is Block #8 of 12, in addition to it is called "West Virginia Star."
The stitching won't foremost until the binding is finished, but it's hooped upward in addition to ready to go...like having coin inwards the bank.
The kitties were nowhere to live seen yesterday. They persuasion I was going to live gone most of the day, in addition to thus they'd scheduled an all-day nap inwards the clubhouse. They continued on amongst their plans despite the alter to mine.
So it's going to acquire a niggling busier today. I'll pass roughly fourth dimension stitching the binding, but thus I postulate to acquire to run preparing for our vacation feast tomorrow. We're doing ii turkeys. One volition live brined in addition to smoked in addition to i volition live deep fried. Mike in addition to I wrestled i of the turkeys into a big bucket this forenoon in addition to directly it volition brine overnight for smoking tomorrow. Yesterday, I made our fresh cranberry sauce in addition to a span of appetizers. Today I'll brand ii of the side dishes. On Thanksgiving I'll notwithstanding postulate to brand stuffing, mashed potatoes, in addition to i other side dish. Oh yes, in addition to don't forget to laid the table. Often, I forget well-nigh this until belatedly inwards the day, in addition to it takes a spell to acquire all the skillful china in addition to silverware out. And I suppose I should build clean the house upward a niggling chip too.
With all that going on, I dubiousness at that spot volition live much fourth dimension for sewing. I'm notwithstanding hoping to get got the hearts all sewn together no afterward than Friday.
What's on the carte at your house?
