Cut! Cut! Cut! & Cut Some More!

The last two days I've been getting the last of the fabrics for pillowcases cut ,prepped & ready  , 13 ready for turning,pressing & added to the tote , 32 cut & ready to trim salvages off, 20 ready to jelly roll , 4 cut with 2 yds pending ,7 need fabric for cuffs,yes I have been running my own sweat shirt factory with myself🤣 with only 2 more to cut out & a few cuff prints, finishing up will go a lot faster to my goal of 100 ,I plan to take a road trip Friday with my niece to Huntsville to drop them off

Lunch also gets prepped 😄 grilled chicken salad with y'all's peach tea

Sadie (lab) is spending the week with us, we're in for a few cool mornings in the upcoming days but for now about 10 minutes of sunbathing & playtime is enough  for these girls 😄

Coming Up To The Finish Line

 I'm too close to the finish line to worry about that day late dollar short theory or the light bulb moment 🕯️😄 what I mean is 1 yd will yield 1 pillowcase  ,body & cuff from same fabric, (body 27" WOF/ cuff 9" WOF) after the 50ish mark the lightbulb came on😄 3 yds yields 3 butttt when using a coordinating band 3 yds yields 4, cutting (3) 9" bands equals 27" a whole nother body today stacks to cut, stacks to jelly roll & stacks for the final finish through the serger,only 28 more to go!

I must of been tired when I made the last run for fabric,maybe the 💡 went out 😄 I had the 4 to 3 yds in my head so after I got home,I recounted everything ,8 short towards my goal🙆  I have separate totes to contain whole yardages that doesn't get cut into just to be cutting so I'm going through & seeing what I have that can be used for bands,plans for today will be serging,rolling, sewing,cutting that's how I'll be rolling in the sewing room this morning 😄

Sunday Inspiration

 

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

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.
