The quilt was finished and given on time! I was finishing up the border at 1:30 a.m. and gave it to my parents at 2 p.m.! I finally finished a skirt I had been working on for 7 weeks. It usually only takes a day or two, but because life is so hectic around here these days everything takes a lot longer. Christmas is coming too fast and I need to start sewing for that, but I have some embroidery to do for a client. That and mending piling up. I need some more skirts too. Hmm, can I hire a stunt double for my life?
Here's how far I have gotten. I am going to embroider a big 50 on the top as the cake topper. I am also going to embroider their names and their date of marriage and the date of their anniversary. I also am either going to embroider or applique the berries and leaves to match the material that I am using for the border I need to add. I am missing the names of two great grandchildren because I can't get hold of any one to find them out. Even my Momma doesn't know these names. Close family eh?
Our little beekeeper turned 12 on Friday and we ran away for a couple of days.
My sewing for this past week consisted of a trip to the fabric store to admire fabric. I didn't buy anything. I am on a mission to find some home dec fabric to make new curtains and possibly a comfort for my bedroom. Yes, we are going to move bedrooms around again.
My only sewing project this week was embroidering this sweater for some one. It took over 74 minutes for just the embroidery to sew out. Next week I doubt I will get any sewing in. We are planning a short trip to the beach in honor of our youngest's 12 birthday and our oldest heads back to college next weekend. He is heading into his 3rd year! This year will be a big year for him.
