had to change my header photo because, well, it just isn't winter. so far not one solitary flake has appeared, which does not bother me one whit. i can deal with cold (courtesy LL Bean), but hate slippery, icy, snowy roads. *** it has been an unhappy week....dental appointments require a complicated regimen and a two-week window of resuming status quo. and now confined to quarters due to car issues...thank goodness for sewing! pulled out a barely started UFO...remember this?
two more ready to sew....
you can see the toile i'm using for the connecting pieces....and since you CAN teach old senior dogs new tricks, i used magic sizing to treat the fabric before cutting pieces with pesky bias edges. these are hand pieced for accuracy. *** new year brings plenty of temptation for mystery quilts, sew alongs, BOMs etc but so far have resisted. seeing my own UFOs progress is satisfying enough.
good news! miss sunny vintage singer is back in fine form but must languish at the shop until car repairs done...can't wait to bring her home and introduce her to phoebe (featherweight) and trudy (treadle)!
our family is rejoicing for a HUGE answer to prayer for one family member. i confess my faith often wavers seeing little progress on my prayer list. as we are all officially seniors, there are many needs. so today my prayer to the God of Abraham is to keep me strong and remain confident....
Beautiful progress on your ufo. I rarely do handpiecing. My faith wavers as I continue to bring the people on my prayer list before God but he is faithful. Good for you for remaining strong and confident....that is being faithful.
ReplyDeleteYour project is lovely. Gorgeous fabrics. I have this pattern on my "one day" list. :)
ReplyDeleteGood on you for digging out an old UFO. It will be beautiful. You have much more patience than me. I’d never be game to tackle a hand pieced project like that.
ReplyDeletethanks...you have a much fuller life than i do...days on end with nothing to do...and it's only 9 blocks...lol
DeleteSorry about the dental issues you have been having. Never fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a beautiful project you have going! Hand piecing is not something I have been successful doing, and I admire those of you who choose to do it and actually do it well.
We are human, after all, and we all waver now and then. But if we are smart (like you) we keep getting back on track, and faith grows. You are a strong woman, Grace!
thank you janet...have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress with your UFO.
