Two thirds done............

I also finished 3 more preemie quilt tops and I don't know if I can finish them in time to take to sewing circle today but I'll try. I still have the pillowcases to press too. Time to sew....

2 more blocks, gettting there slowly....


I'm still working on the Grandmother's Dream/Boston Commons tutorial. I need to keep working on preemie things for a couple days so maybe by Wednesday I will be ready to post it.

Preparing for Monday......



I just finished watching "Murder in Suburbia" on Netflix. It is a British show with the same actress that played Louisa on Doc Martin as one of the detectives. There were just 2 seasons of it. There are quite a few more British series to watch so I'll choose a new one tonight.

0 blocks.......
I don't know whether you will be able to see the difference in these 2 dark fabrics if you click to enlarge the photos. The one on the left is a patterned black batik and the one on the right is a dark purple mottled batik. I'm still looking for my black mottled batik. I didn't get any new blocks sewn. I worked in the basement while I did laundry and did some knitting. Then my friends from Montana stopped by. They are in town for their nephew's wedding this weekend. It was so good to see them. I gifted them the second quilt in this post. I knew I was giving it to them as I finished it and was glad I didn't have to mail it. It is more fun to gift them in person.

6 blocks.......


A couple of 'no reply' bloggers have asked about patterns for the dishcloths. I'm not intending to put them on my blog. Some are purchased patterns, some shared by friends. I have an email link in my profile and another on my right side bar so if you don't have a link for me to reply to you in your comment, please email me if you want an answer.

A 3 block day.....

First 3 sections.......

I took a day off from the basement and read about half of my library book that needs to be returned by Wednesday. Also I started a new dishcloth since the tweed one only has about 4 more rows to go.

More planning needed.......
I didn't realize until I started trimming the papers that there are 3 different shaped blocks in this pattern. That means I will have to plan where all of the fabrics are going to go before I piece any more. I didn't notice that the black strip was slanted between the 2 side by side blocks when I first looked at this. Block one is done so now I'm familiar with the method in this pattern.
My son came by yesterday and picked up the rugs that I couldn't salvage. I decided to throw away one more than I originally planned. The basement smells a lot better now. Since I had to move all of my design walls I have exposed several boxes of 'miscellaneous' that I need to go through. It is time to get tough and throw out useless things that I have saved for years. Not. a. fun. chore.....

Drying out......

Thursday, April 18, 2013
Rain, rain, go away............
Looking to the north from my kitchen window, the corner of my yard and the neighbor's garage.
Looking at my south neighbor's back yard. They are comparing this to the 100 year rain we got in 1996. I am nowhere near any creek or river and I live on the high end of town. There was 4-6" of rain in the last 24 hours on top of the several days of rain we had already had. AND....it isn't over, still raining but gentle rain at the moment.
I had water in my basement from the window wells. Because of my medical problems last fall I didn't have the gutters cleaned out so the rain comes straight off the roof like a waterfall and filled the window wells which then leak into the basement. I am sopping up, spinning out, drying, and then repeat, repeat. I'm sure the people on the south end of town might have more problems than I have. Mine is just large puddles, not standing water. Lots of soaked up area rugs that I will have to decide if I can salvage.

A group of fabrics......
I wore myself out yesterday. It was a miscellaneous day ending with mixing 2 batches of cookies for Monday. I will bake them today. The only fiber therapy I had was choosing fabrics for the next Boston Commons duo. I removed 2 fabrics after I took the photo because I wanted to end with 23 fabrics. I took out the middle one of the 3 medium pinks and the darkest of the blues.
