I wasn’t too sure about this project, but I forged ahead.

My neutral loving daughter approves. The more blocks I make, the more I like it.

Of course, now I’m thinking it should be bigger than what I can make with these three jelly rolls. I don’t want to order anything, so I’m trying to see if I have what I need in my stash. I would need 24 more strips to get to the size I want.

Can you believe I don’t have any black at the moment? I feel like it needs more black and more lights, but white is too bright. Ugh.

My deadline for this got moved back, but I know myself. If I wait too long, I’ll lose all momentum. Time to think a while.

Have a great day!

Today I have a little slow binding stitching on this secret sewing project.

And then I hope to get some more work done on this. Since E1’s therapy is canceled for the time being, I haven’t gotten as much done on it this week.

I was asked about how I prepare my Hexies for this. Here you go.

I prepped a bunch of these Friday night while Mr. Wonderful and I watched this.

It was a great movie. I hope you enjoy a peaceful Sunday.

I’ve signed up for Hands 2 Help hosted by Sarah over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.

I’m making progress on my leader/ender blocks and this will become my donation quilt. I will send it on to Quilts of Compassion.

This is what I planned to do with them.

But I decided to play a bit at the design wall with them. I like several of these ideas.

I might have enough pieces for more than one quilt out of these.

Have a great day!

I’m doing a little sewing this week, but not anything that I can share just yet. I did get the tumblers together.

Now it’s long enough, but not wide enough. Sigh….

Hubby has been cooking lately.

You can see that I’m not going hungry!

We woke up to this on Monday. Thankfully it was gone by late afternoon.

I’m thinking about making a Scrappy Trips quilt with these jelly rolls. All three are the same.

I can’t decide if it would be modern or boring. Back to my secret sewing.

Have a great day!

Remember last fall when I bought my wool pressing mat? Actually, it was a saddle pad for a horse. They are the exact same material, a half inch thick and 100% wool. I bought one from State Line Tack.

This one measures a whopping 30 by 30. There was a coupon code for a first purchase so I got this shipped for about $30.

My only regret? I wish I had bought two to begin with. I just purchased a second one to completely cover my ironing table.

It was too thick to cut with my rotary cutter, but I did use it to “score” a line and then finished the job with my big batting scissors.

Much better! They are just sitting next to each other. I’ll use them like this for a while and then decide if I need to connect them somehow.

Have a great day!

PS Some people have mentioned a smell associated with these. I liken it to wet mittens. I noticed it for awhile with the first one, but it did go away in time. No smell transferred to my fabric. I notice it even less with the second pad. No affiliation.
