It’s been a while but I finally made it to stitch night with my friends last night and stitch I did! It’s coming along slowly but there’s a bit more progress on Autumn in my garden! And tonight is a date night – a date to install baseboards – can’t wait! In the meanwhile I’m …
I went over to my aunt’s house last night after work and we had the evening to ourselves so we decided to work on one of the many project kits we have purchased at quilt shows over the years together. This one is all Japanese fabrics and it’s a very simple, small and elegant quilt …
Well this weekend went by pretty quickly. Since we’re on hold with the insulation we have to keep the livingroom/diningroom empty. This meant my plans to move the tables out of the gym to start crown molding did not happen (no place to put the tables until we can use the diningroom again). However Ryan …
No house progress this weekend as we were back in NY visiting family however we did get a date for insulation – this coming friday! Which means I’m going to have some busy evenings getting this ready (need to move things out of the way, need to get all the nails out of the wall, …
I’ve post dated this so it posts after Mom has gotten her quilt so it’s a bit of a surprise, she knows I’m quilting it but doesn’t know I plan to have it done by the weekend I see her so I can give this to her. So pretend this is a Friday morning post. …
2 weeks in a row now I’ve gotten a little stitching time while over visiting Uncle Mark and Aunt Mo. Autumn in my Garden is coming along. I started this piece a while back. It’s on 40 count fabric and I knew I should use one strand of thread however there are blended colors so …
I’m not great at machine quilting but I’ve definitely gotten better than my first few tries! And only having to do 9 of these snow flake patterns is very doable. I’ll do some swirly/snowy type continuous pattern in the border when I’m done with the main blocks. This is a stencil that I’m tracing using …
I’ve gotten a few nights now of working on crafts! It sure has been a while. Wednesday night over at Uncle Mark and Aunt Mo’s I worked on my cross stitch project while Aunt Mo quilted. Then last night I started quilting Mom’s quilt for her. I’m using my own machine and it’s not going …
It was a 3 nighter – and a good one, it was actually hard to choose where to start but I chose to start with the orange face. I left the pink face/flowers for last. It’s been a long time since I did a puzzle, i rarely take the time to do them but I …
It’s been a slow 2 days around here this vacation. Wednesday started out strong with some electrical work, we finished the outlet circuit in the livingroom. I then planned out the lighting circuit for the front hall which is pretty complicated because it goes up the stairs with a 4 way switch. Ryan’s cold was …
