Yesterday was a twenty-four hours equally expert equally whatever to produce some fridge build clean out together with to brand some turkey stock. I pulled the meat from the bones of the turkey carcass, together with and thus went scrounging inward the fridge for whatever dead vegetables. I came out amongst some leeks, celeriac (aka celery root), carrots, together with a turnip. Then I trekked out to the culinary herb garden for some fresh rosemary, thyme, together with sage. Within virtually one-half an hour, the household was smelling thus overnice together with cozy.
I permit that simmer for several hours field I did some operate inward the sewing room. Briefly, I considered making the side past times side blocks for the Garden Sunshine quilt. It seemed similar also much endeavor though, together with thus I decided it was a twenty-four hours equally expert equally whatever to start kitting upwards the sewing projects I desire to accept southward amongst me. I've had this 20 inward 2020 dialog going on inward my head. I direct maintain some 20 inward 2020 goals formulating, 1 of which is to lose 20 pounds inward 2020. But let's only non verbalize virtually that for now, okay?
Another 20 inward 2020 is to complete off 20 quilts. If that is to happen, together with thus I involve to endure taking along some projects for finishing. At the hand of the listing is to quilt the Pumpkin Pie quilt. You in all likelihood forgot all virtually this, didn't you? It was sandwiched amongst the final circular of quilt sandwiches, but it's been sitting at the bottom of the quilts to endure quilted pile ever since. It's a small-scale quilt, together with thus it's a expert take-along project, easily quilted on my locomote machine, Pfelicity Pfaff. The binding strips are cutting equally well, together with thus this could endure my starting fourth dimension complete of 2020.
Also on the listing is this gallon zip-lock handbag of bonus triangles. They don't match, together with they are all unlike sizes, but I figure I'll start sewing them into one-half foursquare triangles together with larn from there. Also, I printed off this Arrow Baby Quilt I saw online. I don't know if this is what I'll produce amongst my HST's, but it's a house to start. I tin post away permit my imagination fill upwards inward the blanks.
Here's some other 1 you lot in all likelihood forgot all about. Farm Fresh Eggs needs to endure sewn into a finished quilt top, together with and thus it volition endure small-scale plenty to quilt on the route equally well.
Oh yes...and all these Tiny Tuesday blocks. I direct maintain some leftover background fabric, together with I stuffed inward this rainbow fabric...a long-time resident inward my stash. I'm thinking this is a rainbow project, together with thus mayhap I tin post away brand something "rainbow" amongst the blocks.
Someone of late reminded me virtually some panels I've collected. Some were gifted, some were purchased. They'll brand slow take-along projects. I direct maintain these iii truthful cat panels...so cute. I've paired them upwards amongst some fabrics inward my stash. I powerfulness purpose the fabrics, together with I powerfulness not. Either way, I'm certain I'll honor some quilt shops inward our travels inward instance there's anything I involve to supplement.
Also this one...it's an Amish panel, I picked upwards field my friend Robin together with I visited quilt shops inward Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
And this side past times side panel was the starting fourth dimension regional impress I picked upwards when nosotros started our USA perimeter trip inward September of 2017. The quilt shop was inward Whitehall, Montana, together with it's included inward the Shop Hop quilt. There's plenty left over, together with I desire to produce something amongst it.
So that should proceed me busy plenty field we're traveling. All of this sorting together with collecting took most of the afternoon. And, equally a dash of reality, there's no way I'm going to complete all of those field we're traveling, but I don't desire whatever sewing emergencies either. One should ever accept to a greater extent than sewing than 1 volition need.
Meanwhile, the stock was bubbling away. By day's end, I had 4 quarts, addition a bonus that went into the fridge to endure used for tonight's dinner.
The kitties were no deal at all yesterday. The Thanksgiving festivities exhausted them. Sadie was busy fortifying herself amongst kitty treats this morning.
Geez...don't accept my moving painting until I direct maintain a peril to brush my teefies. I turn down to expect up.
Smitty helped me this morning time field I was editing my pictures. He was distracted past times the outdoors, however.
We received a lite dusting of snowfall final night.
It won't endure around for long. In fact, it's raining equally I'm writing this, together with the snowfall volition endure gone really soon. That's Oregon for you...at to the lowest degree on our side of the Cascade range.
I've been working difficult on my stitchery. While I loved stitching the Twelve Trees for Christmas, they were to a greater extent than challenging together with time-consuming than anticipated. It's overnice to endure dorsum to a basic stalk stitch, together with it feels equally if I'm speeding along.
Now I've moved the hoop to the right, together with I'll choice it upwards at that topographic point tomorrow.
This existence Sunday, I'll endure linking upwards to
On today's agenda is to sandwich some quilts. I direct maintain 4 to do. We'll endure setting upwards the sawhorse tables inward the garage, which is heated some...but I'll direct maintain to opened upwards the door when I spray baste. Better pose on my wintertime woollies. That volition in all likelihood accept most of the day. If there's whatever fourth dimension for sewing, I'll larn to operate catching upwards on the Garden Sunshine quilt.
