There has been no time for art…

I can even begin to tell you how much snow we have moved over the past few days.

See our pathetically short snowman… Buried…

The piles are so high…”How high are they?”….
I can hardly throw the snow over the top anymore. The garbage can may help for reference.


Welcome to the double digits, son!

As soon as I finished Wine 2.0 I just knew it wasn’t going to work for me. We’ve used it a bit anyway since I’d put so much time and effort into the piece.

I’m sure this one is going to work really well for our journal.
It is an old 3-ring binder cookbook with a dozen dividers so we can arrange and rearrange our labels and notes as much as we want.
We even have a “black listed” section for truly awful wines. Ones that under no circumstance do we ever want to have again.


I fixed my mistake and sewed like a mad woman yesterday and this morning.

I’m very happy with the quilt. I made 3 edges scalloped and the top edge straight so it would fit more like a bedspread.

Stats:

  • 238 denim circles cut by hand from jeans, shorts and a dress
  • countless small spools of colored thread
  • 46 semi circles and 192 5 in squares of fabric from my stash
  • 3 band-aids…pins and my fingers don’t play nicely together
  • size: 75 x 90 inches
  • weight: 8lbs

See the square piece laying over the rectangular hole!!!!

AGH! I hate it when I mess up!!! Lots of sewing to rip out…

In preparation for Christmas I set aside packed away my circles quilt and promptly forgot about it. Outta sight, outta mind.

I broke out the sewing machine and iron this morning and got back to work. It’s really coming together quickly now. I was very surprised when I laid all the pieces out on the living room floor that I was only 8 circles short. Easy peasy to whip those up.

Hopefully I’ll have a completed quilt to show by weeks end!


This swap sounded kind of fun. Not your typical over the top Valentine business dripping with sap.
