Oh the weather outside if frightful….well, not really cold yet, but it is raining, and the wind is blowing. I am going to lock myself in the basement and cut my strips for my double hourglass quilt today, and hopefully, get some strips sewn together. I picked out some fabrics last night, then figured out how many different colors I wanted, and how many blocks I would need to get to the quilt size I wanted. The smaller pieces are the fabrics I cut last night. The bigger ones are the fabrics I picked out this morning, and cut into fat quarters. Next, I will need to cut them into strips. I need to cut my white strips too. I may not get much sewing done today, but hopefully I’ll get all my cutting done.

My sweetie wanted to make sure I could ‘keep up my strength’
So today, I’ll be working on more of these. It’s a pj day, so if you plan on stopping over, please call first!
Don’t forget our veterans today. If you see one, please tell him thank you.
Have a wonderful Sunday, whatever you do!
What a sweet husband! I sewed some today too - made one of the little coin purses from the U R Priceless? purse hop. I had signed up for it, then backed out because I didn't need any more stress to get something made right now. It felt good to make one without being on a deadline. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day to me!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics you picked. Did you get lots done today?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics Michelle, can't wait to see your quilt. I got a walk in just before the rain hit here, the wind had started blowing the night before and kept up all day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you planned a great activity to do today Michelle with the weather being like it was! Hope you accomplished all you wanted to today! Delicious looking breakfast; what a sweetheart indeed Lou is!
