Project 366- July 10, 2008



CRAZY DAYS!!! They started in town and therefore the Garden Center was so busy that I could hardly see straight and the hours flew by as never before...well, not really. It was busier today than it has been, but there were moments of homeward desires. I got to do some funeral plant preparations and orders. I also got to hang out with Jackie, Connie and Ray. They've been gone so much that doesn't happen very often and I enjoy the "gang":) Hehe, Jackie brought in this lily and told me to smell it. I did and she and Connie erupted into laughter. As soon as I looked at Jackie's nose I knew why, it was bright orange. Mine was too, the pollen really sticks. We had to scrub quite awhile before the yellow tint came off!

I only changed my shirt before heading to Bunco this evening. I usually use Bunco as an excuse to get a little dolled up, but not tonight. I've been fighting sinus headaches for a few days and today was no exception. Bunco was still as fabulous as ever though. Carrie was our hostess with the mostess and we had fun. Kathleen and Rachel came with the Hajda's which was a treat, the more the merrier:)

I won! I received the "Last Bunco" prize and it was so cute! It is a little wooden piece that says, "Because Nice Matters." I love it, it's something I would say;) Amelia won the game Yahtzee and was quite excited about it, not quite as excited as Lisa though.

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times I had to stop and find more squar

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended up receiving it wanted something more.  She f

Hello, Jellyfish Wedding Quilt

Image
My babiest brother got married in March! So crazy! So happy for them! They were planning to get married this coming August but decided to just have a small courthouse wedding earlier. I thought I had time to get a wedding quilt made but not with the change. I asked for their preferences and got started. Request: he likes green, she likes pink and wanted some jellyfish. Here are the fabrics I went with, plus white and teal rocks. I found another quilt I liked on SuzyQuilts website. It was a bit more of a modern pattern, which I thought fit my sister in law a bit better. Ready, set, go! These pictures are a little out of order, oops!   I tried just figuring the pattern out myself so I wasn't sure how my measurements would come out. It came out really long! I ended up trimming part of the top and bottom as well as adding a vertical border. Simple blocks! I am feeling so much better about the tension of my quilt parts on the rollers. It gave me the confidence to try a new design! Yay!
