Curiously Intertwined

"Make new friends but keep the old."

The little girls are happy to show me the strawberries they are eating.

This quilt was in the basket of three.

I put the borders on today and now it moves to the quilting queue.

Today I finished the quilt from yesterday's post.

Since I didn't want to bore you with yet another picture of it,

I decided to wait until it is bound and show you then.

Other than finishing the quilt, nothing much that was picture-worthy happened today

so here is a picture of everyday life.

As Lucy has pointed out in the past, sometimes "real" ironing has to get done.

I was hoping to finish this quilt today.

I did not.

I have just four blocks to go, but it's too late and I'm too tired.

Tomorrow.

All my pieces have been pressed and I have begun removing all the old threads.

I am working on a microfiber cloth.

This cloth grabs the threads and does not let go until you take them off.

It is working out wonderfully at controlling the potential mess.

I also have one by my sewing machine to catch thread clippings.

Each clip holds the pieces of one deconstructed block from this project.

There are 28 in total.

Next step is to press and measure the blocks.

Reconstruction starts soon.
