Sunday saw me making washing detergent
then a lemon meringue pie
Monday i was finally back to the sewing machine to the red & black quilt
last 4 blocks made. Still time to sew & the borders were added.The quilt isn't big enough for a queen bed now. It was for a double when i first got the fabrics many years ago.
Tuesday saw the black borders being added. But guess what? Still not big enough. Luckily i bought more fabric a couple of weeks back on the off chance i'd need it.
Wednesday the final borders added. I'm sure hoping so as i'm kinda sick of this quilt.
After lunch i put together this little hanging
made the background for Natures Journey & prepared some of the applique.
Wednesday night i finished this stitchery
& started work on the little birdie wallhanging.
Thursday i didn't have time for any stitching except at night & go this far with the birdies.
Friday i went back to finishing the last bits of applique needed for Natures Journey
&
that was it as i had my GS to babysit all afternoon & most of the
night. Now i'm off to a quilt show run by some friends. See you all here
next week with my adventures.
Happy Stitching,
so many beautiful projects on the go............
ReplyDeleteI wonder if your lemon meringue pie took as long as the recipe I've used??
ReplyDeleteWow Jeanette you have been super busy this week.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette boy you sure have been busy,lots of beautiful projects there xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sewing (and cooking) Jeanette. Super busy at your place
ReplyDeleteYou weren't kidding! My goodness you got such a lot of things done. All your sewing projects are looking really lovely. Hope you enjoyed the quilt show xx
ReplyDeleteI had a REALLY hard time getting past the pic of the lemon meringue - my favorite!!! Wow you get so much done. The red and black quilt is looking amazing. Love those little birdies too!
ReplyDeleteHomemade laundry detergent? That's a new one on me! But of course, the lemon meringue pie I know all about. In fact, it sounds pretty darned good right now. Or key lime pie. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteThe red and black is extraordinary. I can understand why you'd be ready to move on, but it's really beautiful. Are you going to quilt it or send it out. I love that you make your own laundry detergent. Do you make a liquid or powder? I have friends who do both.
