Tag: 4th of July at Granny’s QAL
I’ve been so bad about sewing so far this summer that I decided I have to actually schedule the time to do it! So, I have been trying to get in a couple of hours or more every morning before it gets too hot upstairs. We have air conditioning, but Dennis keeps his eye on […]
It may not have been the most productive weekend, but it was adequately productive, if you know what I mean. I have a lot of projects to work on, but for now I think I am going to *try* to focus on one primary project. The photo above is my six weeks of progress on […]
I only finished two more of the 4th of July at Granny’s blocks, but that’s ok. I need to be easier on myself. I got my nails done, shopped for the makings of Italian Sausage/Mushroom Soup, and read my book. All in all, it’s been a great day. Oh, I also walked with my friend […]
Hi friends. Hope you are having a good start to your week. This was a three-day weekend for us in the US. Memorial Day. I always find it strange when I hear people say “Happy Memorial Day”. Um, well, it isn’t really a happy holiday, as we are memorializing those who lost their lives in […]
Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. Dennis and I have had so many errands this week, and we have ventured out together to take care of a lot of boring things. Today may be more of the same, but I hope to get some sewing in. The last Riley Blake Challenge block is […]
I’ve been finishing up the week with lots of fun sewing. I am not actually sewing on my new 570QE, but rather sewing next to it. lol. It is plugged in and I have played with it, but I am waiting for the table insert to arrive before I start using it regularly. I have […]
I put my nose to the grindstone this weekend and finished up Week 2 of the 4th of July at Granny’s sew along. Just in time for the release of Week 3’s blocks today! These blocks are a cinch: I’ll get them done! Here are all my blocks so far. I believe I need to […]
I tackled the remaining four blocks for week one in the 4th of July at Granny’s sew-along and they all came out just great. I think I could see things a bit better yesterday, as a matter of fact! Things were still blurry, but a bit more in focus. I got through making the sixteen […]
Well, my 4th of July at Granny’s sew-along did not get off to a good start. I managed to get the flying geese units cut out and was in the process of making them when my bobbin ran out. As always, I took the stitch plate off and dusted everything out, oiled the machine, changed […]
