new header photo is Pemaquid Lighthouse, now getting walloped by Hurricane Lee. Left Maine beach feeling quite autumnal back to summer-like Maryland weather. was a grand vacay with my family and chowing down oodles of seafood. after a horrific first day where my car was violated and battery stolen, am slowly re-acclimating to maryland life and home. finally sat down at machine last night for a brief sewing escape....
more on the amish buggy wheels....only 4 more arcs to sew and will have all i need....did i bust some solids scraps? sure but impossible to see the void...
and what i hope to be the last in process photo of the jan patek nativity wall quilt....my shepherds look pretty good eh? just finish up the last king and the little legs on the sheep and it'll be ready to flimsify....meaning put the top together. this WILL be a finish for this Christmas for sure i'm thinking...
this week something doing sunday thru thursday for a change, usually have days with nothing to do plus back to gym monday. when arriving home daughter presented me with birthday gifts....money to fix the belt on the Singer and this...
so the truth is revealed....i'm a 'sewciopath'.....LOL! (PS she's a psych nurse so she knows!)
ERRATA: Actually header is photo of Nubble Light in York, Maine, in autumn...
I used to have a small figurine of Pemaquid Bell. I loved that little thing. It got broken unfortunately - sigh. It is fun to see a picture of the whole layout with the lighthouse and keeper's home (I'm guessing). Your nativity quilt is going to be done in not time! I like how you have altered the center solids on the wheels.
ReplyDeletethanks!
Delete"Oodles of seafood" sounds delicious, one of the best parts of a trip to the shore.
ReplyDeleteI have been admiring your Jan Patek Nativity blocks as you make them. I think they are spectacular with great color and fabric choices, not to mention to careful applique. They will make a grand finish for December.
Thank you!
DeleteYou have kept yourself very busy since getting home. Love the shirt. LOL
ReplyDeleteBattery stolen? Oh, my! There's a tale.....so glad that the rest of the trip went well. Terrific t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the Jan Patek nativity pattern. I am looking forward to making it but have to finish my Boho Heart quilt first.
