Yet Another

-

Quilt that is, the other a king sized quilt, this one is more of a full/queen size. Again, not a quilter so I have not a clue on the name of this particular block either. After talking with Jay he said this might actually be a bit older than his original guess of the 40's... his grandmother was born around 1900. As you can see Indy is here helping out by supervising the whole process, Lizzie kept trying to walk all over it so she is off somewhere else trying to find trouble


Again the other side here. Indy apparently lost interest in the whole process and ran off to shred yet another of his toys into a pile of stuffing and a piece of rag :)

    I beleive the quilt pattern is called "Grandmother's Flower Garden" When I did a sampler quilt we did a "Grandmothers Bouquet" which is similar but it's 3 flowers together. It's a lot of fun, but also a lot of little pieces!

    I'm not a quilter either - far too mathematical for me :) BUT I do love them - wish someone would make one for me :) I will have to settle for buying one!

    Very pretty. There is such a lot of work in those, it's great they found a home with someone who appreciates them.

    Very pretty quilt. My aunt and grandmother quilt and I want to learn but since they live in Oregan and New york and I live in Germany we are just too far away, lol. I am going to learn on my own someday.

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.
