Design Wall Monday and Other Musings
I mentioned last week about having a consultation for a Root Canal. That was Tuesday afternoon. After looking at X-rays and 3D Imaging. Yes and he had an opening Wednesday morning so I grabbed it. In at 9 and out shortly after 10. Finished and the old crown back on. Back in 6 months to see how things look. Great job and very little discomfort.
We also voted early. We know what the lines will be like tomorrow even with the number of voters who did vote early.
As promised here is a picture of my Pulsar quilt top. It was a fun quilt along. And fabric all from the Stewart shop. I do have to confess though to buying wide backing for it. Didn’t like what I had hand . This was from a QAL by the Bear Creek quilt shop. Did learn a few new things, which is always a good.
Since I started taking inventory of my “store” I have been going through kits I either purchased or put together myself. Some have gone elsewhere ( donated) and some kept stacked near my machine to make. Went through some of the bins on Saturday and made my decision.
I bought this kit probably from Jordan Fabrics several years ago. My background is black. In the kit is a jelly roll (40—2 1/2 inch) strips Kaffe fabrics. The rest of the yardage is also Kaffe. Sunday afternoon I started cutting the fabrics and did get a little sewing in. Accomplished 20 tubes.
You are looking at the wrong side in this picture. It is 1 Kaffe and 1 background strip sewn into a tube. Next step is to find my strip tube ruler so I can get my half square triangles cut!
Kitchen time last week was spent making applesauce for the freezer. Had planned on canning it but Galen wasn’t home to get my jars down from a higher shelf in the garage. Put 5 containers in the freezer. Got more apples yesterday so right now apples are simmering for another batch for the freezer. My pie pumpkins will get taken care of this week. And yes Lady is a little spoiled- cooked up ground beef for her. I cook up a batch, put it in small containers and freeze. She gets a little taste in her meals. Week before we dehydrated chicken for her bedtime snack. Need I say more?!!!!!
Our big rain event last week- most went around us. We had less than a tenth of an inch. More is in the forecast so hopefully we will get more.
Over to Small Quilts to see what others are doing
