The William Morris fabrics were finally pressed so I could cut the Trip Around the World strips. My sciatica has kept me from standing for long times at the ironing table. I got several bobbins wound for all of this strata sewing so I'm all set for mindless sewing.
I got those 3 strips sewn for all 4 stratas.
Today looks to be a beautiful day for all of the Memorial Day events. 82 degrees and sunshine is predicted.
I love all your quilts and I’m really looking forward to the William
ReplyDeleteMorris.
Quick question (I don’t have a quilting website so maybe you could answer in a future post): How wide do you cut the strata strips for a Trip Around The World?
I am really excited to watch the progress of your trip around the world! I made my first TAW very recently and really enjoyed the process. I know you've made many of them so anxious to see how the master approaches the process.
ReplyDeleteI have a TAW next on my list after Posies....I really like your choice of Morris prints for this one..it will be so pretty...Like Carol I am looking forward to seeing how yours comes together...have fun sewing and cutting...hope your back holds out--take frequent breaks now...;))))
ReplyDelete57 today and still cloudy and spritzing rain...
hugs, Julierose
We are expecting a nice day here to, tough rain chances return tonight. You are smart to get your bobbins filled. It can certainly disrupt workflow when you have to stop the refill a bobbin.
ReplyDeleteAlternating cloudy, rain, and partly sunny here - a mixed bag (humid as well). Sorry your sciatica is flaring up again - I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I love your blog and read it every day. Sorry about your sciatica. Have you tried lowering your ironing board so you can sit and iron? Patty
ReplyDeleteI've got two of those fabrics they are so pretty aren't they. Sorry you are having the same issues pressing at the board as I do.
ReplyDeleteI do stretches to ward off sciatica, but I felt a twinge or two when I drove to DeKalb (100 miles, so much farther than daily errands). The WM TATW will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sorry to hear your sciatic is painful again.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are fabulous! They are going to make a beautiful quilt. I hope your sciatica releases soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics shown today… my chiropractor gave me several exercises to do for my back with his adjustments and my faithful daily exercising it is slowly getting way better, all these “age related” issues are so frustrating.
