Well another productive few days.
This retirement life is good for
UFOs! Cold, icy weather doesn't hurt either!
Quite a few projects have moved forward
and a few squirrels have even gotten
moved to flimsy stage!
First up is a RSC item that
was just a bit too small.
I found some remaining red
bits and increased the length.
It still seemed too narrow,
so I added some light strings to each side.
It ended up a comfortable
43" x 54" , perfect for baby and child gifts.
This months RSC projects needed
some work also. I stitched and listened
to a few good movies and moved
a baby quilt top to the flimsy stage.
This time I actually made it the
correct size! Who knew The Princess
Bride would be as much fun to listen
to as to watch!!
A squirrel ran by in the form of a
beautiful little baby 3 weeks ago,
so I stitched up the matching baby quilt blocks
during last week's sew day.
I finished it off with a pieced white frame and
used the leftover strips from the blocks
for a sassy final border.
It was a very fun block
made super easy with the specialty
ruler for curvy log cabins.
Great progress there, now on to
make backing for all these flimsies!
Stay safe and sew on !
