Not Bad

The curved pieces are not as bad as I was making them. 10 seams down another 2.3 trillion to go.



Time for a lunch break.

On a Roll

Another project that has been sitting here a couple of months waiting to be sewn.


Old turtleneck and polo with some bias tape from Mom's stash. Reused the existing hems and saved myself some time.

Another repurpose

Another one of Mason's old polos repurposed into a baby onesie. Bias tape from my Mom's stash.


I had cut this out months ago so it was nice to get it off the sewing table. The guys are on Dragonball Z DVD marathon again today. So I am enjoying the excuse to sew.

The MRI on David's back showed a bulging disc. Luckily no need for surgery. However we did order him an inversion table today. Now that should be quite entertaining.

Final 2

Picked up the final two fabrics for the double wedding ring quilt.


Have a long weekend to continue working on it. Yeah!! And Joann's has thread 50% off right now if you need any.

Progress

If my count is right the double wedding ring quilt will have 2,534 pieces.


I still have about 350 more to cut, have to find the right fabric first. Guess I should have done that before I got this far but what is the fun in that.

Sunshine

I found fabric for the big field pieces of the double wedding ring quilt. It is in the washer right now. I thought I found fabric for the ends of the arcs. Got home and it just didn't work for me. Two more fabric ships are on the agenda for Friday. Guess I should take a couple arcs with me so I don't buy more unneeded fabric.


While enjoying the sunshine in my seeing room I Whipped up a couple water bottle holders out of repurposed pants my mother sent me. Hah, now I can send them back to her.



And I played with the apple core template I bought with some of my Christmas gift card money. I need lots of practice with those curves before I try a bigger version.

Now to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and 60 degree weather.

And look at that fabulous sunlight coming in my windows today.
