bunker sewing

slow start this friday....early morning food pantry run, then a shower and then a nap!  due to heat and haze from fires, will be inside until tuesday, so will show what i've been up to....

pulled out my trees pattern for these...




then a few bells.....


my task for the remainder of July is to get all these finished....this weekend's task is to make 4 stockings and 2 small wall quilts.  starting august will focus on some autumn pieces, beginning with jack....

an oldie but goodie from 2008....i had made one of these for my mom's door, given away when her apartment was emptied.  it's a small piece but could make 3 for a runner, 4 for wall quilt or however many desired.  some pumpkins also on the august list and maybe a turkey or two!  

in my mom's apartment found a 110 film cassette, a 35 mm canister, some old negatives, 4 boxes of slides...dropped off the 110 and negatives and picked them up last week...some black and white, some color....got choked up seeing loved ones who have passed and then there was this one...


had to be 1950..we lived in connecticut as dad worked at pratt & whitney...this was a few years before brother #1...bit unsteady on my feet but full circle as today i walk like this again...LOL!   next is to get the 35mm developed...more surprises maybe!  have a blessed, cool and SAFE day!

  2. Yay for stocking up the fridge/pantry and tucking in for the heat/smoke duration with stitching and memory lane. Hugs.

  5. I’ve just been catching up on reading your blog posts for the last month or so. You may be cooped up, but you sure have been busy with needle and thread. I’m loving seeing all you have been up to.
