I loaded a new quilt on the frame-more on this one later.
I have been spending a bit of time in the sewing room. I have ignored my first love of garment sewing for ages. It has gone well......
A mantle scarf is coming forth.......
I finished the cursed pair of butterfly socks! ....well, finished knitting them; I will hit the dye pot today as I have quite a waiting list for color. (See the ink stain......hoping to reduce that with some spot remover before the dyepot.)
Bill has added the fireplace header! We had the usual husband/wife language barrier for adding a fireplace to this room. It has been remedied at a structural level and tomorrow we go to the fireplace store to do some visuals!
A very great start to a new month!
Seeing the patterns reminds me of my mom. She was a pattern maker for a factory in NJ when I was a kid, but she loved to buy Simplicity patterns for us kids. She would have me sit and cut out the patterns it seems like it took hours.
ReplyDeleteYay, on all counts! You and Dad are both turning out good things!
ReplyDeleteSuch cool stuff going on with you!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric and the patterns in the first photo. Curious to see what will come of it all!
Good luck with the fireplace thing.

A quilt with satin??? I can't wait to see that quilted. Ohhhh a fireplace! I'm thinking that would be put to better use in north Idaho, than in FL. ;)
