Project 366- August 21, 2008


Another ending for me has come. This was my final day to work at the Garden Center. My time was not wasted either. I finished all my allotted "chores" and did some basting to my purse/bag. Looking good, huh?
Libby got left alone with me for a little while and so she watched for Connie's return with sad eyes. Poor sad Libby, she's been a bit sick lately with some puppy allergies. Glad to see she was well enough to come greet today:)
Yes, this was my last day. You see Dr. Hackel's wife works Thursdays at the chiro and she's having a baby in a few weeks or less. I'm going to be working there on Thursdays now in her stead and will not be carrying on at GC. I'll miss hanging with the Squiers, the plants and this swing. Isn't it an awesome swing? I almost told Connie she could give it to me as a wedding present, but I decided against it since I don't have any clue whether I'll ever get married:)
It was a hard day of leaving. I felt some "tension" for some reason and it really upset me. I tried to go look at fabric at Alco and I just couldn't do it, I was really in a funk. I don't want any hard feelings in my leaving and it really worried me. I had to go home and defunk. So I picked some tomatoes. Really, I only picked a few!

I made this with some of them. Yummy! Tomatoes, feta cheese, basil and balsamic vinegar. It was a delicious meal.

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

I'm Still Here!! Kim's Quilt

Image
I have been missing in action here on the blog but for good reason! My husband and I sold our house at the end of June and moved to our unfinished basement in the middle of nowhere! We lived for 3 months among all our stuff(which is alot) as we pushed forward on building the house above us.  We are now upstairs, hurray! Although far from finished it feels so good!! Anywho, I still had a few quilting projects with deadlines to complete. Here is one! I kept out the few necessary supplies, my modern little New Home Janome, and made it work. First it was on/beside the bed in our little sleeping corner.  She picked a pattern from a few I suggested but in a forest green colorway. I loved the pattern as it was simple, straightforward halfsquare triangle blocks. They were fairly large, 9.5 inches and it went together so quickly! A great quilt for a less than optimal work space. Haha, my toddler has learned the fun of digital photography. Worked quite nice here to show the next work space. I ha
