I've seen suggestions to take a picture in black & white to determine color values in a quilt block layout, I swapped out one block & really didn't see a shade difference but then I may not know what I'm looking for😄
What do you think? does it look like a winner? I am however learning not ok trying not 🤣 to overthink the layout process & just get her done! 😄
Jumpsuit update, I'm nearing the end with just a few hours to go to submitting pictures & a review to Pattern Review
CARDINALS, CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK & SWEET POTATO PIES
Seems the colder it gets the deeper red the male cardinals get,my yard is always full,although they flock together the males will only feed one at a time but will feed with their mate
All is quiet around the house since we took Sadie home so I took Grace to the park to see the trees,she luvs the attention & all the petting from people passing by
I had baked sweet potatoes earlier & debated whether or not to bake pies before going to bed 🤔 thinking how good a big ole slice would be with my coffee the next morning I decided to go for it
At this point it's late & they're piping hot 🤔 just cover with foil & let them cool ,I was glad I may the right decision when I made coffee this morning 😄 now I've really got to jump on finishing that jumpsuit, December is filled to the brim with exciting traditions, I'm going to have to have a one on one spend a night in the sewing room🤣
For me it's still today because I'm still up but according to the clock it's already tomorrow "Tuesday" lol we had a cold spurt today so no sitting outside but I did catch a few shots of the cardinals,a blue juno & baby jays
The noon was just as glorious in the wee hours of the morning as the night
And here's a sneak peek at my ginger tree in the kitchen
Only a few days left to finish the jumpsuit challenge,so guess that'll be priority today
Happy Saturday! Are you still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? My friend Ree loaded me down with way too much along with chocolate cake,Carmel cake, sweet potato pie🤷 what to do with her! 🤣 colder weather is kicking in but that doesn't stop the girls energy 🐕🐕
I pray that each & everyone of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving,I miss the leftover turkey all ready,they bout ate it all!🤣 I like a good monticrisco sandwich the day after🤷oh well guess I'll hit up the deli 😄 Sadie is getting to be a regular for the holidays lol getting these two to look at the same time is priceless
I spent Thanksgiving with nieces & nephews ,it was a good day
Back in the day Thanksgiving Eve was just as exciting as Thanksgiving Day but things change,life changes,my bestie & me always get together a day or so before hand & have a big cooking & baking day but this year she is sick,poor thing had to cancel Thanksgiving with her family
This was my big pre Thanksgiving cooking day🤣🤣
Sadie🐕 is still with us ,her & Grace🐕 woke me up early so coffee & muffins were in order,now they're snoozing & I'm awake👀👀 I may work on my jumpsuit project before heading out to my nieces house this evening
Wishing all of you a very happy Thanksgiving ,stay safe! & be blessed!
Last year for The Rainbow Scrappy Quilt Challenge I decided to do little houses ,you can type in little houses in the search if you wantta investigate their journey 😄 let's review & catch up🤔 didn't like the dark navy,had a wild hair to cut all the houses down,that didn't work out according to plan lol ,got thrown in the scrap bin,now we're here a year later,outta the scrap bin & said it is what it is , ,redid the layout ,another border or two & I'll get it quilted up
Sadie's patents had to be outta town ,,so we will enjoy her throughout the holidays,her & Grace has played like it's been forever since they've seen each other 🤔like 2 weeks forever lol
Sadies helping me make border decisions for the little houses quilt lol
Last years RSC fell victim to too much over thinking lol the navy strips inbetween were off setting the look then that could of just been me but I took it all apart lol then something processed me to cut the houses down 🙆they finally went into the scrappy scrap bin to be chopped up for future projects,I have taken pitty on them & pulled them out ,whatever will be will be, there'll be a top whatever their outcome by Monday 🤣
speaking of overthinking I've got to get a move on & get the applique for the Bramble Blooms QAL ,I thought I'd about settled for a simple something that I could halfway free hand lol then the thought to capture an older pic that's been in the family as long as I can remember but when I reread the QAL post 👀 what you do at this point may be repeated throughout the 3 quilts sooo back to overthinking that process 😄
back to the original drawing board 😄
The morning started out with final decisions of the layout of the little house quilt, some good ole tomatoes,onion & cabbage soup simmering while banana nut breads baking,then off to the park
The weather has been unusually warm most days during this time of year & going from warm to cold within hours ,with Winter just around...
