Just got out of shower. So I thought I share my day. Yesterday I post about our community is going to show PLANDEMIC if I gave the impression I will be seeing it. Statement time....I will not.
Work was pretty routine.
I did manage to get a short walk in this morning. But had a little trouble resisting cookies, although I came to my senses. I need to get batteries for my scale. It simple I need pull them out and I can check at super one store. I hardly go in there. The non mask wears seems to congregate and I need to pick up Regis pills. Usual he gets them on monday but this monday is labor day. I will grab his pills, half gallon of milk, druno, and for me it will cat treats and battery for my food scale.
I started to cut strips for what call a POSTAGE QUILT and what I understand there made from 1 inch squares. Well I'm doing mine in 2 inch square. I got my blue fabric tote and start to cut out my strips. Well I believe I got about 8 strips done. I start to think. Something isn't adding up. Well let forget the chase and get to point. I thought I need to got my strips 8.5 inches. No I need to cut them 10 inches, so I was off by 2 inches. Then also I like to figure out a quicker or let say smoother way of cutting the strips and blocks. Soon as I figure that out. I will be glad to share it.
Regis and I stop our lovely little book store. One thing I was looking at some of there coloring books. I also mention about doing a sampler quilt for my granddaughter is to toss in a few blocks of embroidery. Not sure how many. The one above is one I have. Regis picked coloring book from Alice in wonderland. I also liked the coloring book of Aesop fables. Well first I want to get postage stamp done. I did brief research on transfer the picture on to fabric. I done it with graphite paper and that was way before printers. I starting to lean toward getting some type of transfer paper and iron on the designs. Ages ago I embroidery and entire day of weeks dish towel for an Aunt of mind.
Coffee is on
Good luck with the Postage Stamp quilt, I couldn't possibly do anything so fiddly. Same with embroidery, not for me. My mum was the crafty one with her knitting, crochet and embroidery, but I would rather read a book.
ReplyDeleteStick to your guns re resisting the "Plandemic" calls!
ReplyDeleteIt's been hard to get out for walks with all this humidity. I love your new coloring book. I have a bunch of them. Just sent for an Autumn coloring book. Can't wait to begin.
ReplyDeleteI had a look at the link for the postage stamp quilts Dora, they look gorgeous but looks like so much work with the small squares, I definitely wouldn't have the patience, but I would buy one ready made 😁
ReplyDeleteThat postage stamp quilt sounds nice and that coloring but looks like a good one!
ReplyDeletePlandemic is one of the reasons other countries pity us right now
ReplyDeleteNice colouring page!
ReplyDeleteAre you using those rotary cutter thingies? I love those.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad thing. One of my cousins tried so hard to get me to watch Plandemic. It's a case study in how people skilled in filmmaking can manipulate emotions so easily. This person is a highly educated teacher and if she could be taken in by it (not her fault!) just think of the average person. Happy you are not going to watch it. I am not a sewer. A crocheter, yes, but not a sewer. My Mom was such a skilled sewer until she developed RA. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
