Day 324 of 2020

As you know when I am looking for something, I often don't find it. 

Sometimes, like tonight, 

I find one thing I have been looking for on another occasion

 but couldn't find then. 

I also tend to find things I forgot I had, 

forgot what I was doing, or just have no idea. 

This would be an example of that. 

At first I couldn't even figure out what it was. 

It's on the design wall now and I can see what is going on better. 

I'm sure I was waiting until I decided on a border fabric

 to finish all the outside edges of the blocks.. 

I can also see that there are seams that I have taken apart. 

Now I remember there was some issue that was going to result in missing points

 that I could not immediately remedy. 

This is probably the reason it had to go to time out.

I have no idea what pattern this is or how I cut the pieces. 

The result is likely to be a fairly small quilt. 

Now that I know sort of what is going on here, I'll probably put it away again. 

I need the design wall for a top I'm currently working on, 

I really prefer to make larger quilts right now, 

and I have way too many projects that come before this one.

 

Day 323 of 2020

You may be thinking that I got a new refrigerator. 

I did not, 

but I think it looks like new after a much needed deep clean.

 

Day 322 of 2020

Is anyone else ready to skip right to decorating for Christmas? 

I have been thinking about how to make it simple this year. 

Here is one of my favorite Santas. 

He lives in the china cabinet all year long.

 

Day 321 of 2020

Earlier this evening I had one side of binding to finish. 

Now it's done. 

Pictures will come when I can get outside and get some nice light.

 

Day 320 of 2020

It has been extremely windy all day. 

We lost power before 10:00 this morning due to a downed line. 

The temperature dropped all day. 

By dinner time we still had no power, the house was cold, and I couldn't cook dinner.

We opted to get take out. 

We decided to eat it in the car to give ourselves time to warm up 

and charge our phones in case we were still without power when we arrived home.

This was the scene as we turned the corner onto our street. 

There were no less than eight utility trucks lining the street 

and we were afraid we would not be able to access our driveway. 

Luckily we could and power was restored shortly after we arrived home. 

All is well. 

 

Day 319 of 2020

I usually do handwork at night and machine work in the daytime. 

Chain piecing is my favorite. 

This is my happy place.

 

Day 318 of 2020

The binding is going well. 

I have completed four corners and one side. 

Three straight sides to go.
