94 & Still Going Strong!

 Look who celebrated 94 years! My sweet neighbor & precious friend Lexa celebrated 94 years yesterday,what  an honor it was to be part of of her special day,what a blessing to be able to call her friend

A Little Slow Stitching

 Its getting down to crunch time on my neighbor's quilt,meanwhile breaks in-between I e been working on an online stitching retreat 

there's  4 to 6 classes to choose from each day,you can download the worksheet but the classes disappear after 24 hrs each day ,I set up the week on the cutting table

One that I'm working on today is called claimed scraps which works great for an addition to my stitch journal,a few more French  knots & a few more stitches & it'll be done

I manged to cook myself a good supper with all this stitching going on today

A storm is brewing & its lighting & thundering something fierce  so I'm calling it a night & going to bed 😄

I'm Still Here

 I totally forgot to post yesterday, Still plugging along stitch by stich 

Got Sadie home ,the house seems empty when we have to take her home,Grace misses her & cant wait till the next visit ,ok me too 😄

Sunday Inspiration

 

Stitching along

 Got some stitching in today,going to have to catch up from my fingers not cooperating lol

picked up a few more colors of thread & still don't have all the colors lol,anyways this red caught my eye & I think it will be perfect to blend in with the red & white, the white is just toooo white & I believe this will tone it down but I'll think about all that in a few weeks

A Day Of Stitching

 Happy 1st day of May! A whole new month for new possibilities 

I'm currently working on outlining the big churches on Leslie's (my neighbor) quilt,I luv this batting& how its giving a little puff when I stitch an outline around them

April I had 2 finishes ,Livvys & Casons quilts,I was hoping to finish binding on 2 others but hey there's a whole new month in front of me right? In case you missed it, here's a few pics from their photo shoot lol

Who Let The Squirrel In?😄

 Not only did the squirrel get in,it took me down the rabbit hole 😄 letting my fingers rest up before getting back to hand stitching ,I thought I'd pull the red & white blocks back out

The original plan is a 7x8 layout yeilding (56) 12" 9 patch blocks,looking at the fabric I have left it doesn't look like there's enough fabric for 56 blocks,strips of (2 reds & (1) white & (2) whites & (1) red are sewn together & cut into 4 1/2" strips,each  yield 9 giving 3 blocks from each section 

Figuring out how many sections for a block with what's left its not adding up,I have more red but no more white

I really don't want a lap size in this because its a more expensive fabric & to fancy for snuggling lol,iif you can enlarge the pic you can see the rose imprints throughout,I've thought about maybe cutting  it down to 2 1/2" squares& possibly adding red prints 🤷but for now I think it needs to go back to the closet ,outta sight outta mind& focus  on the church house quilt 😄
