The renovations are coming along quite nicely. Two bathrooms almost done and once toilets and taps are installed, they are ready to be used.
Seven doors got painted and in between waiting times for the paint to dry and to keep out of the way of the tilers ..... a bit of quilting got done.
A huge box of scraps was recently acquired .... not that I really needed them ..... but scraps are scraps and I love scraps .... big time. I won't be keeping all these scraps. They will be shared amongst friends and what they don't want will be brought to guild to share there.
Out of the huge box, this container was pulled out. There were strips already cut out. A whole lot of strips. So, what to do with them? What you see are the left overs that were not used.
A whole bunch of rail fence blocks were made. The bottom section has been sewn into rows and that is why there is a difference between the top two sections. Why are they in sections? Well, you will just have to sit tight and wait and see what goes there.
So, what else did I do?
This top below got marked up and sandwiched ready for machine quilting and some hand quilting.
My Kaleidoscope quilt got a lot of hand quilting done on it. The center is all done. Now, it is just the borders to do.
Between the painting and quilting and renovations .... it has been a good couple of weeks .... but my paint brush is calling me. There are 3 more doors and door frames to be painted. Ah well, that is life.
Some days, it feels like nothing gets done. Then, I look at previous posts and well, yes, a lot got accomplished.
Today would have been my Mom's 97th birthday. She has been gone 7 years now. So, Mom ... Happy Birthday ... wherever you are ...
Have a great day!
