here in maryland we are inching slowly toward actual cool with 30 and 40-degree mornings that require more than a sweater. back in my routine of regular exercise...and my sewing mojo has ramped up as well! last night joined in with zoom quilty peeps for a bit of socializing and reconnecting...
all busy quilters and sewists with lots of eye candy! my task for the evening was to move forward on a UFO, "wildest dreams" and now working on block 10 with only 6 to go. the patchwork parts are done, just adding the pink triangles and squares.
from the october 2009 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, maker is unknown, a beautiful vintage quilt. This is going to be a flimsy before 2023 arrives...i hope!
a wonderful surprise arrived in my mail this week. on a whim entered a giveaway on a blog i follow, "from my carolina home," for some aurifil thread. my own supply was dwindling and it was on my list to replenish....
not anymore! 9 lovely spools--3 spools each in 3 collections of my choice--and they are most welcome. when "sunny" the vintage singer arrives can't wait to introduce her to this thread. will only have to add a couple of spools of white at some point and probably a few spools of 28 wt for hand quilting. happy additions all!
and it had to happen....summer veggie choices slowly leaving....the other day i enjoyed my last farm stand cuke...a staple of my diet all summer. it's a quick fix veggie and low cal filler upper....so long until may....
it's another beautiful autumn day and dear daughter and i are off on a day trip....that's all for now!
It was good to see you in zoom. Ella and I ganged up on Chooky and requested another session in two weeks, with friends like us, you will have your quilt top finished before 2023. LOL
ReplyDeletefantastic and yes it was oodles of fun!
DeleteEnjoyed seeing you on Zoom.
ReplyDeleteWildest Dream is a stunner. I admire the way you tackle tough patterns and get them done.
What a nice prize you won! That is exciting.
Oh, I live on the cukes all summer, too--either blended up in a smoothie with some fruit, or just sliced up and eaten plain. I probably go through a couple a day. Good stuff!
Hope you have a great day trip with your daughter!
thanks janet!
DeleteCongratulations on your lovely giveaway win... beautiful threads! Enjoy your outing with your daughter! Christine xx
ReplyDeletethanks christine...i was gobsmacked!
DeleteWildest Dreams will be stunning! Though it's been so good to get to meet in person we've all discovered that Zoom has fostered new connections. Glad you and DD had a good day in Lancaster!
