Yesterday I was down in my sewing room and had the sudden desire to get some of the started but not completed projects done. I pulled the blocks for a soon-to-be INGRID BARLOW pattern out and finished the quilt top. Can’t show you everything yet but here are some little looks.
With a leftover block I made this little table runner. Now the questions is if I should do some hand-stitching around the blocks in the quilt top. hmmm…any thoughts?
The odds were against us. Actually 5%. We were not supposed to have Elias. But we did–6 months ago today. He has made my love-tank overflow and I hope and pray that another miracle will come our way. So here’s to filling that hope chest back up again. A new quilt waits for hoped for baby #2.
For all of you out there with full hearts and empty arms, I pray that God will hear your yearning and bless you abundantly. May peace be yours.
This week I have been spending my days at church with 50 youngsters for Vacation Bible School. Elias hangs out with me in the chest carrier and we all have a grand time. It is making for quite the week.
I haven’t had much time to do a lot of sewing. I snuck downstairs for a few minutes last night and worked on a custom order for Scandinavian Songbirds. Progress is made even with a few stolen minutes.
Our last day with the kids is today and I have a lot of domestic duties to catch up on. We need some bread made, groceries bought, the house tidied, letters mailed, and lots of creating of things!!
It’s another Monday and you know what that means–Movie Monday! This week I show you how to do the final step on your quilt. Hand-stitching the binding to the back. This step takes some time, but I love the hand stuff and the mindlessness of it. Sit in front of a good movie and just stitch away.
Welcome to the 2nd week of Movie Monday! This one if an informational one on quilting for all of you sewing newbies. If you don’t quilt, you might not find this one a thriller but it’s only 4 minutes long so you will survive. Sorry you don’t see much of my head, I really wanted you to see the quilting so I wasn’t concerned where my head was when I set the camera up. Maybe I should have…
