The 6th block for the Dancing Chickens & Flying Pigs quilt is finished now. There wasn't much manus embroidery to do, in addition to thus it finished upwards inward only a few days.
Here are the half dozen blocks I guide maintain for this quilt thus far.
From at that spot I did some housework in addition to and then picked a bucket of weeds. It takes almost 45 minutes to create total my bucket. As I went, I deadheaded the hydrangeas too. There's silent enough of weeding to do. I await to endure at this all summertime long. When my chores were done, I headed dorsum into the sewing room. There...I constitute this mouthy urchin.
Wait a minute...are you lot *still* sewing triangles together?
As I meowed yesterday, nosotros are non going to help if you lot locomote along on amongst this pawsitively most ho-hum projection inward the whole world. Smitty, it's fourth dimension to position our paws down.
Smitty is of a heed to only plough his dorsum on this whole pitiful affair. He went exterior to sentinel the squirrel show, already inward purrogress.
And then...I proceeded to sew together the remaining bonus triangles. It took all day, but they are all sewn into HST's now, in addition to sorted yesteryear size.
When I kickoff started working my means through the pocketbook of bonus triangles, I had inward heed to sew together them all randomly into a unmarried quilt. Now that I've spent thus much up-close-and-personal fourth dimension amongst them, I realize I in all probability guide maintain several modest quilts here. With thus much variation inward sizes, colors, in addition to "genres" of fabrics, it's been difficult to envision putting them into a unmarried quilt. I've constitute some cracking photos on Pinterest, however, that could locomote large swaths of them inward a unmarried quilt. It's all a mystery correct similar a shot what volition larn of these.
Also, along the way, I sewed these piffling leftover cut-off ends of strip sets into 9-patches. There are 24 of these.
They were generated amongst I made the Home & Heart quilt.
There were silent only a few pieces left at the terminate of my sewing day. I sewed them into this piffling patch...just to exhibit them who's boss.
The kitties were all laid into strike means yesteryear then. Sadie was sleeping adjacent to the fireplace.
Smitty was yelling cuss words at the squirrels who were taunting him unmercifully.
Today I'll larn dorsum to my manus quilting project. It's been a yoke of months since I worked on this...way dorsum when nosotros visited Cathedral Gorge dorsum inward February...life was thus innocent dorsum in addition to then when nosotros could silent locomote exterior in addition to fifty-fifty verbalize to perfect strangers.
When I left off, I had the surface area within the yellowish draw of piece of occupation finished. You tin run across at that spot isn't a whole lot left on this. I only postulate to quilt only about the exterior edges to complete it off. Yesterday I was working out a strategy for myself. I guide maintain iii pay-it-forward gifts to make...they volition all endure modest embroidery projects. I'm thinking I'll piece of occupation on this a piffling each day, spell simultaneously checking off the pay-it-forward gifts. The manus quilting projection mightiness endure a piffling to a greater extent than palatable if I mix it inward amongst some embroidery. As for the residuum of the day, it'll endure much similar yesterday...a piffling housework in addition to a piffling weed-picking, in addition to then to a greater extent than sewing.
