Natures Beauty At Its Finest

Do You Like History?

 In my younger days I always liked History class ,guess that's why I'm drawn to  history on fabrics,sewing ,quilts etc. I came across these at our local Charles n Charge book store 



Scanning through them they seem to be rich in history of  the people who made the quilts as well as family life, war times etc.

On another note I found #13 in Jan Karons Mitford series,there are 14 books in this series & I've only 2 more to  complete the series 



I'd went out of town with my friend Ree to a fabric warehouse to get another carload of drapery fabrics lining etc. to finish up a big job shes been working on for nearly a year,she suggested that I use quilting thread to make hand stitching show up better, so I'll given them a try & see🤷 what are your thoughts on quilting threads?

Safari Park & Sewing Plans

 Come go with us they said,it'll be fun they said! my niece & her grandbabies included me in on their road trip of an adventure of a lifetime, if you've never had a big as life llamas head in your lap or a big horned cow try to lick you with a mile long tongue or have a llama bite you cause he ate it all ,you don't know what fun is🤣









The yesterday after church at their favorite pizza place they said the next adventure is the pumpkin patch,I asked if they're be any animals that bitešŸ˜„they said no! just stay away from the animal farm🤣🤣 

Its an overcast day with rain in the forecast,needless to say Im pooped🤣so I don't plan on going anywhere today, there's a purple dress that's been needing a sleeve sewn in for the longest ,as Scarlett would say,as god is my witness its happening today!🤣

I didn't join on on the RSC challenge this year as I was still quilting on 2023 & working on 2024 which still needs a lot more blocks  so I'll work on a few more blocks


There's lots more tiny nine patch blocks to be made,endless UFO's, šŸ¤”I may pull a flimsy out of the closet & get it ready to quilt,the urge to start something new is strong🤣 but I know there will be a finish on something today as god is my witness!🤣🤣🤣

I Tied For Best Traditional!

 I didn't think I'd ever finish this quilt in time with all the over thinking LOL ,stitch,take stitches out because they were showing up ,changed threads finally gave up & just did it ,when I had dropped it off last month I laughingly told the shop owner to add a note, stitches are on the back🤣those stitches just disappeared  into the fabric

September Recap

 



What will October hold in the sewing room? Hopefully a lot more than September šŸ˜† events gathering with friends & family, park adventures etc took up all the sewing time 🤷what can I  say? LoL in my defense I focused on the quilt I was to enter into the paint chip challenge so I did have one finish for September 🤣


I attempted to finish a few UFO's, they're still UFO's October for the win! šŸ˜†
