Hannah didn't sleep well last night. Neither did Jeremiah for that matter. Having gotten the short end of the stick on the sleep thing, today I am not my most productive. I spent a not-nearly-relaxing-enough 10 minutes at the sewing machine finishing up a purse I was playing with yesterday. Usually sewing is relaxing but when Hannah is yelling at me, not so much. : ) This was another expirement into pleated fabric purses. It is almost round. I kinda like it. Wish I went places where I could carry it but unfortunately Walmart, Kroger and the Post Office seem just a little plain for this beautiful red and orange purse I named "Alice."
The one quilty thing I've done today, with Jeremiah's help!, was to get out all my churn dash and friendship star blocks made from civil war repros. I participated in a block swap for both in recent history, making 50 blocks for each swap so I'd have enough to set the quilt 10 blocks by 10 blocks--making it king sized. I've rearranged them throughout the day, here and there. I actually had to stand inside the closet against the back wall to get the whole thing to fit into one picture. I am fairly satisfied with this arrangement of blocks/colors/whatnot but since I have no plans to take it down tonight it will probably get more tweaking. I might see if Tony wants to mess with it a little, he enjoys that. : )

Oh I love it! I have some churn dashes still. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI might have to incorporate a couple other block styles since I only have 10 or so. I really need to get a quilt done for our bed. Thankfully mine is only queen though

I love the layout on the quilt. The churn dashes look great with the friendship stars! Great Job.
ReplyDeleteI really love the purse! Actually, the last two purses you've done are my favs, I think. Hard to choose, lol. But, I love the shape of these last two and the color choices are right up my alley!!
As always, great work, Des!!
