The last time I posted I had finished a project and was about to start Jungle Magnolia. I started it on February 1st. I tried to keep up with the number of hours put into the project. On February 24th, at 66 hours, I quit counting. Since then, I have worked on this project 6 days a week for at least 3 hours each. I'm happy to say that the top is complete. And it is beautiful, if I do say so myself.
In the meantime, I completed the quilting and binding on the 2025 SAHRR hosted by multiple bloggers. This ended up being the "story of my life". Read the life story here.
I quilted this Irish Chain made with fabric a friend inherited and didn't know what to do with. This was the project that I left at Thursday Stitchin so I didn't have to haul a project back and forth. I will bind this tomorrow.
I also quilted this customer quilt. It's two sided. She had a quilt top that she didn't like. She considered taking it apart and starting over but decided to use it as the back.
Other things that went on are.....my refrigerator quit so had to purchase a new one. About a year ago a friend gave me a package of dragonfly tattoos from Urban Elementz and I couldn't decide which machine to put them on. After the new refrigerator was delivered, DH said what if we get a big dragonfly (dragonflies have significance for my family) to put on the front. Well, what do you know, these look great.
Then, my Panasonic cordless iron quit so I had to bring out trusty old Black and Decker.
It's so old it doesn't have an automatic shut off so I had to come up with a reminder. And since I turn the lights off at the end of each sew day, I added a reminder to the pull chain.
And finally, the A/C unit in my sewing room quit. So, while the repairman was there and it was too hot to work on Jungle Magnolia, I drew projects to fill the tubs anticipating the completion of the current project so I can start rolling the dice again. That will begin as soon as I get the binding on the Irish Chain!!!
So, not an unproductive 2 1/2 months. Just nothing post worthy. Well, none of it was post worthy until I completed Jungle Magnolia. HaHa.
Until next time, wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.
Rose.
