Stories from the Sewing Room

I am feeling semi-human again and I was able to do a small amount of sewing. I started piecing the month two clue for the Meadow Mist mystery quilt. Obviously it's not done yet, but it's a start. I noticed that my pink print is really narrow. I think I'm going to have to cut one additional strip set to get what I need.

If you're wondering, I skipped month one's clue. I don't like making hourglass units, so I'm putting it off. 😆

I stitched the remaining stitch-and-flip corners for the race car quilt blocks. Now I have to piece all the units into blocks, then into borders. 

I was unable to work most of last week, so I've been busy trying to catch up and have lots of quilts to share. 

First up is Jeri's quilt, quilted with Banana Swirls. I bound this one. 

 

    

Next is Jeri's sister's quilt, quilted with Fall Foliage. More binding. The thread looks kinda light, but it is a light gold color, Glide Sand.

    

One more of Jeri's, quilted with Bubble Glitter. I also bound this one, but I forgot to take a picture. My photos have been turning out really weird and way overexposed since this latest iPhone update. The thread color here is an aqua color, Glide Magic Mint. 

Next I quilted Judy's wall hanging with Leaves, Loops, and Swirls.

Another of Judy's, quilted with Fall Foliage. 

And one last one from Judy, quilted with Cobwebs. The backing is a raven print too.

Finally, Sara's quilt, quilted with Loop the Loop. 

I had to miss guild last night since I'm not at 100% health-wise and I don't want to spread the germs. I'm hoping to make Friday night's guild. 

Our front porch concrete is being poured today. 🎉

We have been invited to the next county Planning Commission meeting in a few weeks, where they will be voting on the stupid sidewalk waiver. 

My husband started a new role at work. 

My son has applied to his first-choice college. I'm hoping they make a decision soon so that we don't have to go through a ton more essay writing and fee-paying. He wrote five versions of the essay to get one that was decent.

My daughter is coming to visit this weekend, which I'm really looking forward to. 

I took this picture last night (in the dark) of the full moon rising. It looks more like a daybreak photo.
