finish drought over

early this AM while building still in required "silent" mode, finished the hand sewing on the 2nd pair of pants, so now only 7 buttonholes from being done!  celebrated by pulling out some of my things and ended up with 2 little finishes....

first, the next block of the 'antebellum album' sew along--good thing as block #9 out tomorrow...

and the 2nd thing was this pillow that needed finishing....was a giveaway from jan patek, a kit so all included except cording and pillow form. 

took both these photos with my camera so editing was problematic...but no matter, they are off my list.  ***  and while i was communing with my bernina, thought of another oxymoron....good landlord.....yep, they are sure hard to find if at all...me, i'm still hoping to find one. 

turkey update

been working on these turkeys during monthly bee sewing and hoping on track to finish in time for november.   switched gears a bit before finishing up the historical stuff....2nd pair of pants just about done except the crotch seam....tonight will be doing the hand sewing that's left.   after the crotch seam, it's 7 buttonholes and then an evening of sewing on buttons to finish up this commitment.  while glad it's nearly done and gone, have to say it added another set of skills to my garment sewing repertoire.  the only thing left with a deadline is the guild's halloween challenge project.  then the rest of 2018 is free for me and some christmas things i want to sew and some UFOs that need tackling.  ****  with only one day in the low 80s this week, it appears summer has left the building!  living away from new england don't get that dreaded feeling of approaching winter....bring it on!
