Biting The Bullet & Working on Backings

 One more row to sew onto Livvys quilt,I still see dome puckering that needs to be delt with 

Carson's dinosaur's is turning out so cute! If you're just catching up to these two quilts,Livvy & Cason are my nieces grandbabies,Cason will soon turn 6 with Livvy coming up behind him soon  to turn 4 

Now about that bullet🤣 I ordered this beauty this morning,not only did the price drop since I last looked at it but free shipping! Oh God is good! It should arrive within 3--5 business days

Finally Ready For Binding

 I have stitched on this patchwork off & on in-between projects for over a year, when times call to walk away from.more important projects like when the machine acts up lol, its actually been in the flimsy collection for  two years,the plan was to have it completely finished tonight by bringing the backing over to create a blinding bit one side didn't reach the edge of the backing so now I have to make a binding

Just another row or two to stitch & resew on Livvy's quilt then get it backed & ready for stitching , tomorrow will be dedicated to working on her quilt & Cason's dinosaur quilt

Sunday Inspiration

 

Thinking About A New Machine

 I'm thinking its time for a new machine,my Singer has always been my backup with the Brother digital being my main machine but my last move parts got separated ,anywho the ole Singer is starting to be a pain,the tension messes up every time! i change a bobbin out,the bobbin shank pops out 

Anyways I've been looking at this one,reviews seem to be good on it,I finally found the manual which has to be downloaded

I especially like this bundle with the extra  large extension tray

Today was a day for no streiod pill for Grace,she takes it every other day now & I can tell  it makes a difference in her pain level & so can she so I encourage her to lay down & rest snuggled up beside me & then that aww feeling hits her lol 

Still Stitching Along

 Spent the morning looking for pj's for a friend who was admitted to the hospital,that didn't turn out well  so I felt like I was sent on a wild goose chase lol but I did meet up with my great niece -n-law at World Market & of course came home with some new  herb tea flavors

Got home just in time to walk with my neighbor,!I shared some of my teas with her,,she wanted me to stay & have a cup with her ,when I got back to the house ,me & Grace went to or a burger 🍔 I  was too tired  to cook & hungry ,after giving Grace her meds for the night,I got the patch quilt out & started stitching on it some more, it's getting close to the finish line!

When You Want A Quilt So Bad 🤣

 Grace is definitely doing better,today we start tapering off the steroids,which is good,they make her sooooo hungry!I was trying to measure the blue flimsy to the pink quilt that is the same layout,as you can see she quickly shot under it so I just worked around her 🤣

For the backing I will use the blue checkered sheet,it seems like it'll  be wide enough even with a border but if not I can pull from the fitted sheet

Im thinking a 1 & 1/2  to a 2" checkered border & a 2& 1/2" border of the blue 

& yellow tone floral print

I'm having to unstitch a few rows on Livvys quilt top,ohhh this machine is going to get a bashing with the hammer 🔨 🤣

I'm also thinking of adding a cat to one of the blocks in her quilt,the pattern says applicade but I'm thinking  of  adding it with an eraseable pen & stitching it  since there will be a lot of hand stitching throughout the quilt

When It Rains It Pours

 Even in a trencheral downpour the birds will come ,some of the cardinals were so wet they looked like you could squeeze the water out of them 😄
