I don't know why I have so much trouble with these posts.
I attended a pin cushion workshop. We took our containers ahead of time and the gentleman provided the insides for each of them. Some were tomato pin cushions that were recovered at the workshop and inserted, and some were dryer balls.
I took a teacup and the inside was a wool dryer ball. One of the attendees had an old quilt that was not repairable and she was sharing, so I cut a piece to wrap my ball in. The dryer ball fit perfectly in the teacup until I wrapped the quilt piece around it. I was trying to push it down in and the cup broke. The man glued it back together but while the glue would take some time to dry, I worked on someone else's container. When I got home, I picked the batting out from around the edges of the piece of quilt, and it fit much better. Then I glued it into the cup and glued the cup to the saucer. One of the ladies that attended talked me into making a tea bag to act like the strawberry attached to a tomato pin cushion.
The quilt colors couldn't have matched any better. The teabag has fine sand and shreds of felt inside.
I finished the binding on the Irish Chain quilt posted about here.
This will be a donation quilt.
We had our QOV presentation. Eight veterans attended. Several didn't make it so we will deliver theirs.
It's always amazing to hear their stories.
The QOV presentation opened our in-town retreat. Sorry, I took no pictures.
The next week DH and I attended our granddaughter's high school graduation. I can't believe this is happening. She's still a baby.
Her momma didn't get her t-shirts to me until the first of May so I told her maybe I would get her quilt done by the time she went to college.
My sister sent me a text and said this was in the next-door neighbor's yard.
The video showed it much better. She said it was there from 11:00 am until sometime in the night.Kinda scary when you have little dogs.
We are about to break into home repairs in the next week or two. Did you know you can't replace flooring if you can't see the floors? I have been cleaning closets, laundry room and UGH the sewing room. So far, I have made 4 trips to Goodwill.
I've been rolling the dice since I finished Jungle Magnolia, and I've worked on a few things, but I think I should finish that baby girl's t-shirt quilt first.
And our furry baby girl has been fixed. She's not happy that she can't go to the sewing room with me for another week.
And, that's my month in a nutshell.
Until next time, wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.
