There was a lot on yesterday's agenda. Mike came abode early, in addition to therefore he accompanied me on my grocery shopping trip. What a gas, right? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 engagement amongst my principal squeeze. At the grocery store. I'm telling you, it doesn't larn much meliorate than that. Actually, he did propose dinner out final night, in addition to therefore all was non lost. We got our shopping done inward tape time, in addition to nosotros solely mowed downward ane mortal amongst our shopping cart. After pausing to telephone band 911, nosotros were on our agency again. We instructed emergency personnel inward which aisle they could honour the body, of course.
Before heading out, I finished upward the 9th embroidered block for I Believe inward Snowmen.
Here are the nine blocks I bring therefore far:
And therefore I made the 8th block for the Tiny Tree sew-along:
And the ninth:
And hither are the nine I bring for this project:
The 10th block was released this morning...a tiny hourglass...and ane assumes the assembly instructions volition hold upward released tomorrow. I'm form of excited to run across how this volition operate out when combined amongst the embroidered blocks for Twelve Trees for Christmas. I bring around pretty textile I desire to purpose to contain all of it into ane quilt.
Smitty helped me larn the Tiny Tree blocks finished past times reading the instructions to me. After that, he went to ane of his apps to play video games.
Sadie in addition to I moved along to the Garden Sunshine blocks for November. She start helped me organize the blocks already made.
When she had them purrfectly arranged, she purrovided this demonstration of the famous truthful cat maxim: If I fits, I sits.
November's blocks are applique surrounded past times flight geese. I nevertheless demand to brand the flight geese, but the applique is cutting out in addition to fused now. I'll complete the top-stitching today, in addition to therefore larn on amongst the flight geese. The leaves for the cherries volition bring veins machine embroidered into them.
The pumpkin only needs top-stitching, although I mightiness embroider around veins inward the leaves hither too.
Yesterday's post service delivery had around fun surprises. My friend Wendy sent me this yardage of kitties. There's plenty hither for a quilt back, in addition to the scale is large. It volition hold upward purrfect to purpose amongst ane of the kitty panels I'm taking along on our trip south. So, give cheers you, Wendy. It was therefore dainty of you lot to intend of me.
Also, I went ahead amongst a buy of around beads for the Snowflake blocks from Mary Corbet. When the designing was released final calendar week (I think), I went to my favorite beading site, Fire Mountain Gems and loaded upward my cart amongst the beads specified inward the pattern. Then, I abandoned the whole process. And this took quite around time, therefore afterward giving it to a greater extent than thought, I went dorsum in addition to finished up. Also, I discovered I'd included agency to a greater extent than of ane than I needed. Correcting the amount cutting the toll considerably. So, all of that to nation that they arrived yesterday. Aren't they pretty?
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few of you lot bring generously offered upward beads for these different projects, in addition to your offers are really much appreciated. Nevertheless, I desire to purpose the ones recommended inward the designing for their colors in addition to size, in addition to therefore I'm branching out in addition to edifice my ain supply. I in all likelihood won't start on this projection until belatedly adjacent year. It volition hold upward a fun wintertime activity. The blocks tin hold upward made inward different sizes, in addition to therefore I mightiness attain upward one's heed to brand it a larger quilt than the 12 Trees project.
So that sums upward the day's activities yesterday. This morning time Sue in addition to I are having breakfast together. Just earlier sitting downward here, I dressed upward around of my canned cranberry chutney in addition to cranberry pepper jam every bit a gift for her. With our trip, it's unlikely we'll run across ane around other earlier adjacent spring. And amongst that, I'm off to larn ready.
