I decided to go through my stash of blue fabrics last night to see if I could find SOMETHING that would work for binding on the Snowbaby bowtie quilt since I didn't feel like going over to Walmart to buy 1/2 yd of 'something'. I found just enough... just a small strip left that can go into the 'string' bin. Binding made and sewn onto the quilt... that's three this week - woo hoo!!
I finally got started on the Christmas Row by Row ( Sindy Rodenmeyer design).. it seemed like every time I wanted to start, something stopped it... missing white fabric, missing pattern, etc etc. The fabric was 'missing' because I had taken care of it while I was cleaning last week - all the more reason not to clean, right? Last night, I traced the six snow men and fused three onto their panel. Decided to blanket stitch with white thread around the snowmen, straight stitch with brown for the stick arms and narrow satin stitching in orange for the noses - and I'm using tiny black buttons for the mouths and eyes.
I've also been going through that bin where I found the fabric kit that I used for the Snowbaby bowtie quilt... going to weed out what I definitely will use and what I probably won't use and should donate to the guild's charity quilt stash.
Went to Dr. this morning for yearly checkup... he said I'm so normal that I'm boring lol. He did increase my Vit. D, though... from 1000 to 5000 - he said I'd quickly notice the difference ( as in more energy?) woo hooo! I'm all for that - as long as my legs co-operate, which they didn't when he wanted me to 'jump' up on the exam table -- I tried, but it just wasn't going to happen. He said I gave him the 'wife look' and he gets it enough from the Mrs. Randall at home enough to recognize it. LOL
Ok I'm off to play
