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 😄 

The Freshness Of Raindrops

 There's something peaceful about the beauty of raindrops & that could just be me & that's ok 😄 but I just luv raindrops on my flowers after a rain 

Beauty In The Rain

 We've had scattered showers off ,& on all day,there was a break between 10:00 & 12:00 ,all the signs on the weather app was there so my niece & me decided to make a run for it,all was well untill 5 minutes into being back to the car here came the rain,the only only that made it out dry was the baby all covered up inside her stroller 🤣 ,once back home I gave Grace🐕 & Sadie 🐕 a bath& when the rain subsided we took Sadie 🐕 home, the rains supposed to linger all week ,so nothing to do but quilt! quilt! quilt!

Sunday Inspiration

 

A Change Of Plans

 Hanging out in my pj's all day stitching with moderate cleaning lol turned into picking Sadie 🐕up,Ms Molly texted asking if I could keep Sadie as they had an emergency & had to go to Tenn. ,Grace 🐕was excited to say the least so quilting turned into a park adventure& later this evening  a walk with my neighbors, hoping to get some stitching in tomorrow evening 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

 A little here,a little there,it grows a little everywhere 😄 so far I have a few things growing in large pots & old tires,Im thinking of pulling the old ladder out of the shed  for green beans to climb up onto & using a flour bed on the side of the house for a veggie garden ,on a sewing note ,lots of  hand stitching is on the agenda for today

Lets Start At The End This Time

 It usually never fails for something to happen when I'm nearing the end of a quilt , needle breaks, don't have as much fabric as I thought I did & the list goes on & on 😄 so I thought I'd do the last things first after getting the quilt sandwiched & ready for stitching, this morning I cut 7 strips,sewed them together,folded & pressed & rolled onto a tube from a roll of aluminum foil,got the prayer block made,I wasn't about to run just this little thing through the washer so I hand washed & dried with a blow dryer twice,it will go on the back of the quilt
