While back to working on my Bonnie K. Hunter pineapple blocks, ( fuzzy pic and on point because I was too lazy to take one out and turn it) got 5 more done for a total of 16 out of 30.
I realized that I was cutting off some strips that would work in a log cabin... so, off I went to the World Wide Web and did a search for paper pieced 6" log cabin 'patterns'. Of course, I found one ( not sure it's 6" but it will do) and immediately started working on one.
And in the process of all this sewing and cutting, I grabbed the pile of 2" squares that were under my acrylic table extension for my sewing machine for whatever reason and guess what I found....
Yep, the MIA tube of E6000... of course, I had quit looking and stopped at Walmart Thursday night to buy one of the cheapest super glues I could find - AND I used it last night to glue the broken part of my vacuum cleaner ( tested it this morning and it's holding).
After I got home Thursday night, I started working on the latest piece of my June UFO challenge... worked on it again last night while watching tv. This is what I have done so far.
I did just the front of the truck Thurs. night and did the building last night - I just need to do the Barbecue sign on the roof and that part will be done... also have the back of the truck to do, too.... should be able to get both done while watching tv shows tomorrow night. At this rate, it's going to take me a couple weeks to finish the entire piece... maybe I'll have to work on a little bit each night instead of just the nights that I know there are shows on that I want to watch. If I don't, I'll still be doing the embroidery part when it comes to month two (which is my number 7) and I'll need a third month for the piecing and quilting.
Oh! Speaking of quilting... I loaded a quilt yesterday - haven't started on it yet; just loaded - might work on it tomorrow... if all goes well, it should be just a one day job - large meandering. This is the one I mentioned in an earlier blog... Lots of Dots #2 was what I was calling it because I couldn't remember it's real name... Bright Scrappy Throw.
Ok, off to play a few games before I call it a night
