Quilting, An All Day Affair

I had the thought how nice it'd be to pay someone to clean the house while I just  sewed & quilted all day & threw the hint out there but got no response so I did the laundry,loaded the dishwasher, & made lunch 😄 

spent the day working on 2 quilts,I had the blue one going in the sewing room 

After an hour or so I moved into the living room & worked on Livvys!  quilt while watching a movie two of my neighbors dropped  by & we walked around the neighborhood  then it was back to quilting 

The Japanese Hydrangea Is In Full Bloom

 The Japanese Hydrangea is all white & getting bigger by the day ,I quilted a little over one & a half rows on Livvys quilt till I had to go to town,I'm  getting where I dislike going to town when Im quilting ,seems like when I leave the house I cant get back🤣

Switching Gears

 My hand hasn't wanted to cooperate much today,if I so much as picked a needle up it went numb 😄 so I decided I'd switch gears & machine quilt the blue take 5 quilt, I prefer hand stitching but since its a lap size , It'll be good to have a finish

Ill move Livvys quilt into the living room & quilt on it  as long as the hand will let me 😄

Quilting Update

 Shhhhh nobody knows where I am,let them keep thinking I'm out & about🤣

I usually keep a few needles threaded to speed up the process,threading one needle at a time is for the birds😄 

when I redid the sewing room I came across these labels I'd bought many many moons ago,I don't think they make them any more,I found on etsy you could get a pack for $19.99🙆

the morning started out with waffles made with almond flour,egg, milk & a touch of baking powder blackberries & strawberries,so far the only plans for today is  just to walk with my neighbor & quilt !quilt! quilt! 😄

Checking In

 It was one of those days not being able to fully engage into a project ,having to get ready & be gone most of the day ,but come tomorrow!🤣 I did get a little bit of  something done,a few more blocks & if there was enough left from the scraps I was using for the blocks they got turned into 2  1/2 X 3 strips for a keyboard  border

Livvys quilt is set up & ready for more Baptist fan stitches 

my neighbor has these glorious yellow flower cascading over  from her neighbors side, 

Block Therapy

 Are you an early riser? I luv early mornings but this time change drives me crazy ,the clock says 5:00 but my mind says in reality its 4:00 but because the new time is 5:00 it makes feel like I over slept 🤣 I made a few more strip blocks & now have a total of  61

3 more red & white nine patch blocks

I've been plugging away at these tiny 3" nine patches for a year,the bowl is full of ones that need trimming just a tad

there are now 132 finished in the bag,still a long ways off from 400 plus 

the sun is now up,birds are chirping ,on my 2nd cup of coffee acompied with a steak omelette,now to get this day started , catch up on house work while getting bills paid, throughout the day I'll work on quilting on various quilts ,walk with my neighbor,take Grace to the park & that should bout do me in for the day 😄
