My Sally Post Garden blocks in project bag |
Blue carpet, blue chairs,
little kids table with crayons....
Wait, does that nice tiled floor in the background
have a car on it? Corvette car at that!
If you've not guessed it...
car maintenance time.
Besides the routine maintenance, also a wheel bearing going.
Parts pick-up time included, only 4 hours wait time...
not bad. I had packed for 8!
Like any good quilter, I had my stitching with me.
Actually, I had THREE partial projects with me...
Sally, Lucy, and my Garden.
(: I know I over-packed, as usual,
but just in case I somehow
got "Flash-speed-stitching" in my fingers today, I was prepared :)
You can see one of my Sally Post blocks in my project bag above...
I finished hand quilting that one,
and finished the binding on another.
I also spent some time with Lucy -
finishing up the center of another block:
center of block - Patchwork of the Crosses/Lucy Boston |
Gardener's Alphabet - "b" block |
NOT the eight I had hoped packed for,
it sure was a nice way to spend
a snowy, windy last day of February.
Hope your February was nice, and productive, too!
I'd have been stir crazy after TWO hours, and you WANTED more???!!! Way to make a positive from (an in my book) negative! And, love all the blocks.
ReplyDeleteYou made good use of otherwise wasted time. Waiting for car maintenance can be sooooo boring.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely project! May I ask what you used for the background fabric?
ReplyDeleteHopflower: the background fabric for my "Gardener's Alphabet" stitchery is by Andover/rene nanneman/Needle Love/Itsy Bits #3947- It's a cream with little tiny rows of green "2's". It reads as a light green fabric. I'm loving it for my coloring and stitching!
