Back In The Sewing Room

 How early do you start your day? 4:30 am coffee's ready,I did a lot of  jelly roll prepping before I went to bed last night

Coffee,soft lights,machine humming,iron heating up & you tube quilting videos make for a good start for a productive day

Finishing up what was bedside the machine & then tackling this stack is the plan for this morning,last night I did a rough count of the  finished table,serger,& this stack of 31 etc. it came out 72 ,is it possible? can I be this close to 100? halfway into the morning I will do a recount

Update On A Day In The sewing Room & So On

 My assembly line layout was buzzing this morning,I think it can count as a workout 😄 31 cut & ready to sew,just a few need cuffs,I opted to have an extra pillowcase  as opposed to having 6" left that I couldn't use on a few of them 

The online colored pencil art class was coming up at 1:00 so I went ahead & made lemon chicken with broccoli so it'd be ready after class,I servered it over spaghetti noodles left over from last night lol

Grace🐕 knew there was something on the stove & she wanted to eat now😄 I made a cup of herbal tea & got out a homemade peanut butter cookie I made last night

I went back to the sewing room & sewed a few up ready to be sergered then it was time for the online class,I always thought colored pencils were  just for coloring,it never occured to me you could shade & do techinics with colored pencils ,I needed to pay closer attention to the raindrops as they got shaded in making them looking polka dots😄but it was fun, enlightening & I learned something new

The class was about 2 hrs & it was good to have dinner ready & 2 more PB cookies for dessert & watched a movie then back to the sewing room prepping them to the jelly roll stage, I'll work a few more hours then clock out of the sewing room for the night 😄

You Can Find Me Here...

 

I sent this to my family chat & told them if they don't hear from me ,look for me here 🤣 getting a lot of prep work done before the online colored pencil  lesson starts,I never knew you could color & shade with technics to make something look painted but with colored pencils

Meanwhile ,cutting,ironing,jelly rolling,sewing,serging,more ironing,folding ..you get the picture😄 that's what's going down in the sewing room today,a pillowcase explosion!😄

First Fall Top Finished

 Early this morning I finished up the final outer borders on the panel quilt top, my  sweet 95 yr old neighbor wants to play bingo which is held at our PARA center so I finished this up so I can dive into quilting it once the pillowcases are finished & delivered. 

More Shop Hop Adventures

 Bigbee Quilt shop is a cute little shop in Jackson Ala. besides Walmart that's about all there was to venture out to, I'm in the process of making pillowcases & there was a very slim selection of childrens prints but I did come away with 3 yards of this cute print

Fell in luv with this pattern ,after getting home & pulling it out & discovering that its a mini book of instructions I was like what?🙆😄 but it has layouts & measurements from crib to queen size

Absolutely luv this verigated thread in the Fall colors,maybe I'll dive into this pattern after I get the pillowcases finished & delivered 

A small little shop but cute as a bug & the employees are just the sweetest!

A Touch Of Fall 🍁

It hard to think Fall with temps still rising in the 100's but according to the calendar it will be here  September 22nd

That's right at just 2 weeks to get ready for friends & family to gather for my Fall celebration buffet dinner party ,my great grand niece & nephew look forward to getting the pumpkin tree as they call it, set up every year,after church it was pizza & games at their favorite pizza place ,my niece & nephew "GiGi & PoPs " dropped them off at my house on the way home  ,we fluffed the tree,did light inspection,the middle section was out so we had to round up a strand from the garage,pre lit is nice but once they're out they're out lol

The fun part is turning out the light & having that awww moment😄 I got the hutch ready to transition into its Fall mode & then they colored & watched Toy Story

Gigi & PoPs came to retrieve their grandbabies 😄I changed cloths & was close behind them onto the next adventure to Sadies 🐕 house , Molly had invited a few close friends from church to celebrate her birthday,her sons & daughter-n-law  did all the planning from the cake down to catering from the Olive Garden,Sunday was a busy but fun day from church to lunch & arcade 

games to decorating the Fall tree to a birthday celebration & you guessed it! i brought Sadie home with me to spend the night 😄
