Haven’t posted about Moda BH 6 for several weeks. But I’ve been working at it a little. From the beginning, I had plans to make a table topper for my kitchen table with the finished blocks. I was using denim that I had been donated, plus woven fabric and quilting cottons from a Tilda fat quarter pack. Making the blocks … ….oh there’s more
I only had a toile strap, two sandhill slings, and a sugar skull embroidery to finish up from the unfinished tote box. The strap was easy peasy, I turned it into three wristlets and I’ll eventually make matching pouches. Someday. Not this month! This Sandhill Sling was almost completed last week but I had some finishing touches and wanted to … ….oh there’s more
Back to all the unfinished projects in the “Tote Box”. I had several tote projects that I had just thrown into a box way back. I believe some of these have been in there for many years. I finished up a couple of the bags last week and posted about them. This week I found another bag but it just … ….oh there’s more
I’m finally ready to show you my new kitchen. I was waiting until I had put all the finishing touches on my beautiful space but perhaps I’ll never be done. I was just thinking that I should soon get my fall decor out and realized that I better grab some snaps before I change everything out! First, the former kitchen. … ….oh there’s more
So….. This week I went through the “Tote Box”. This container has canvas weight fabrics, finished bags, and pieces that might be in…..pieces. My other tote making supplies–like hardware, webbing, bling, twine, and zippers–are very well organized in this IKEA cabinet. Even my rivet press stands ready for service here. Along with all the extra heavy duty threads that I … ….oh there’s more
Last week I decided to take a wee break from piecing and do some real stitching. Starting with my WIP (Works in Progress) box… except maybe it should be called WNS as in “Works Never Started”. I bought the supplies, or set the idea aside, and just put it in the BOX. I was very productive and finished some of … ….oh there’s more
I had the three younger grandkids with me in North Dakota for a week and then we all went on vacation to the Black HIlls for a week. We had such a great time! Here we all are at Mount Rushmore. Missing one grandson who couldn’t get out of work. We are already planning for our next year’s family vaca. … ….oh there’s more
Is anyone else bored with the cats. I am. Except I have developed a bit of an addiction. I must make cats! But FINALLY. I’m done with the cats…..I can move on. (Hoping that I’m free from the “must make cats” weakness.) I had considered taking the quilt top to DC and doing the basting, quilting and binding in the … ….oh there’s more
Last week I was VERY frustrated with Block 7 of the Moda Blockheads 6 QAL. Lots of fabric waste along with SO MANY mistakes. I finished the block. Took me much longer than it should have. Here it is: And here are the four I have finished from the QAL. I made no new blocks for the Riley quilts. Because … ….oh there’s more
Sooooo I am giving myself a little break on finishing up the second “Cats in Pajamas” quilt. It’s all basted and ready to be quilted. Maybe next week. Or maybe when I get back to DC. I would love to try out quilting with my Juki that’s in the apartment. I started working on three other quilts….cause I gotta keep … ….oh there’s more
