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 😄 

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!
