I am not sewing much.

My husband is going through chemo, and the amount of doctor appointments is high.

I am trying to do something.

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

My butterfly quilt is still not changed.
I do have the pattern I changed to, so this UFO is not what it was going to be.

I worked on some Shashiko while DD drove this last weekend.

I'd love to see what I have done for the vacation quilt, but that will wait until after vacation.

I think I know what I don't like about the block to the right.

I think it is too scrappy for my tastes.

I will plan it out a bit better and see if I like it more.

Stash Report 8/11/2024

I'm preparing for vacation, so I'm unsure how the next two weeks will look.

I do have a quilt I want to bind on the trip, and I have some hand sewing that will make things easy to finish when I get home.

But August will probably be another light month.

What a day

 This quilt does not want to be quilted.

First, it was loaded before the quilts show.

I wanted to quilt it but had no energy after the show.

Then, when I did start, my thread kept breaking.

Why? Who knows.

I changed to a different needle brand, and the breaking thread stopped.

Then, after that, it was quilting fine until a bobbin change.

The machine felt heavy, and that's the only way to describe it.

Did I stop and check it out? Nooooo.

When I rolled the quilt, there was eye-lashing everywhere.

So, I changed the bobbin case and re-calibrated it.

I finished quilting the quilt and went back to unstitch the last bobbin change.

It was easy because the stitching was so loose.

This is how much thread I took out.

I have a wide space to re-quilt.

The holes are still visible in this fabric, so I should be able to recreate what I'd quilted.

I want to take this on the trip so I can bind it.

Hope I can make it happen.

The funny thing is I seem to like these two browns paired with black.

I was doing my yoga class and turned towards my bed, and this is what I saw.

Notice anything similar?

Yep, exactly the same two browns with different black prints.

I must like the combination. LOL

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

I just hung my third-place quilt on the design wall until I can get it hung in my studio.

This mess is the UFO that I started, and I decided to do something else about it.

I need to get it cut and ready to stitch.
