KatyQuilts

I hope to get to a little slow stitching in later today putting a binding on this little piece.

I couldn’t find the walking foot for this machine or I would have added more quilting.

Yesterday, we took a break from the basement and went to the local antique fest. I saw this wonderful old quilt frame just covered with quilts.

I found a couple nice enamel pans but that is all that followed me home.

This morning before church, I got the first coat of paint on the new baseboards for the office.

I’ve been picking a bit through the bits from the sewing room that I can get to looking for little projects to finish. I found this one:

This is at least 5 years old. I would like to add borders but can’t find anything suitable in the mess. These hexies are about 2″ across. They are all from my tiny, precious Liberty of London stash purchased when we lived in Europe. Finding this is the only sewing related news to report.

However, more than half the painting is done in the new sewing room and the floor in the office is finished. On to the base boards!

Now I am off to the library for work.

Have a beautiful day!

And a wee bit of sewing:

Still not sure how they will go together.

Also started painting, the new paint is on the right.

And a picture of my happy thought:

Now back to work! Have a great weekend.

It’s what I have to do to keep motivated on this project!

I’ve been scouring Pinterest for ideas. I really like this work table:

We are getting closer on the office floor but that closet won’t be fun.

This is what I will start on after work today:

All the while, I will be mulling over this:

Have a great Thursday!

I found a few more Kaffe scraps, uncovered my die cutter, and cut a few more HSTs to match the ones I have been working on.

Because I die cut these, no trimming will be required. Yay!

I got off work at 9 last night but that wasn’t too late to work on the office floor.

We are about 3/4s of the way done and then there is the closet. I may start painting in the sewing room tomorrow. When the office is complete, then we can move stuff in and out of the way to work on the sewing room floor.

Mr. Wonderful bought me these:

Living up to his name! LOL!

I would like to start painting before work today but there is housework to be done. Darn laundry and dishes keep piling up!

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

That’s how a quilt is made or a basement remodeled. I finished trimming triangles.

I ended up with about 180 of them. They are cut to 2″ so they will finish at 1 1/2″.

Lots of filling of holes, cleaning and putting up new drywall happened in the basement this weekend. There is a lot more to go. We also purchased our flooring and started putting it down in the office last night.

We chose vinyl planks. If the basement should ever flood again (the horror!), we can take up the planks, dry it out and put it back down. They click together. It sounds easier than it is! Yikes! It took FOREVER to get this little bit done!

And thankful for this one who serves. Thank you , Annie.

I went looking for a box of HSTs I had cut to go with the 4 patches I was making, but they did not appear. I did find some bonus HSTs that were left over from this project though.

They all needed pressing and trimming which is probably why I hadn’t done anything with them.

They are all pressed now and the trimming has begun.

They will finish at 1 1/2″. Not sure yet what they will become!

This week I listened to the audiobook of Killing Jesus by Bill O’Reilly. It was very interesting and I enjoyed getting a better understanding of the politics of the day. Now I am listening to this:

So far, this is good as well. It is written by a doctor and shows some of the incredible situations faced by doctors in our hospitals every day.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
