My quilt is finished
"1930\'s quilt blocks"
"Queen size quilt"
Well, it 's finally finished. I am pretty impressed since most of the blocks lined up with each other, pretty much the same size AND I managed to quilt it on my sewing machine (Topaz) since I didn't have at least $200.00 to have it quilted. (It's kind of wrinkly after being bunched up to get through the sewing machine to be quilted)
I started by tying the corners with embroidery thread and then I thought I should quilt the sashings which turned out really well, then I started quilting the blocks, I added the date with embroidery thread. I added the binding. I did have to take out one of the blocks quilting since it bunched up the block and then while I was ahead finished.
Sometimes when you keep going after a good run it turns into a mess. I stopped myself by taking it upstairs right away and called it complete!
I just need to find some cool stuff for the walls. My daughter has my antique bed which I will get back next year and that will really set the quilt off.
Well, Sage is now in the kitchen with gates since she hit the puppy time frame of "I forgot everything about going potty outside." This is the same time that Buttercup just wasn't thinking.
Dummy me. yesterday as she was sitting on my kitchen rug said "Potty" and she went right on the rug on command. Great listening skills huh? I was about 5 minutes behind her potty schedule and kept missing her time. Not a good day so we are going back to square ONE!
"Nap time"]
I knew in the back of my mind not to paint the butcher block but I did and it is becoming a shabby chic piece of furniture. I didn't realize how much it is hit and now chewed so my paint job is looking shabby and scabby. Which I like the look in books but to me in my home it looks like it needs to be painted what to do?
Thinking of glazing it, or taking it outside and spray painting it with a more durable paint. I think I'll wait till Sage is out of her chewing stage. Her nick-name is Scrappy! She is a handful!!!
She HATES the word no- after you say it she jumps in your face and bites your nose. A little terror!!! She looks sweet sleeping though doesn't she????
