First, I finished the Tutti Fruiti socks-they are definitely a smile on your feet!
I quilted Mom's QuiltforKids......
I used a sunburst pantograph in gold.
I pieced the block portion of my second quilt and we will get together to sew on the borders in a few days.
Then I loaded my first quilt on the frame so I can quilt that in time to sew on the binding on our next sewing day! I am good about getting my homework done on time .
I also finished my bag of mending for a friend. I make fast work of the odd assortment she collects for me. I find it a good challenge to fix things-purse handles, to holes in clothes or toys that
need a stitch or patch. How do you feel about mending? Do you let it pile up or get right at it?
I also made a purse organizer for a friend's daughter who fell in love with her mom's!
I ended my day with a batch of lemon juice for the freezer ( I put it in baggies measured for a 2 quart pitcher of lemonade.)
And some lemonade! Now for my recliner and some entrelac knitting!
'Wait,' you say. 'You are retired, every day is like a Saturday to you!' Well, it is definitely a mental jump of creativity on a Saturday when I can be home and spend it in the sewing room. Give it a try!
Lovely socks!
ReplyDeletei don't do mending any more!
Please come and load a few quilts on my frame! ;-(
I still do most of the housework on saturdays, even though I'd have time enough during the week:( and no lemonade for us - more like grog in our weather:) but I do like your socks, they look like spring! mending, hm... I mend my handknitted socks, usually immediately. not so good about mending other things, whenever the sewing machine is involved I tend to procrastinate:( bad habits....
ReplyDeleteYou know my answer to the mending pile question...because mine always piles up until you come to visit and conquer it all for me!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's almost time for me to come and do projects with you -- I can hardly wait!
I envy you your retirement - you get to have so much fun being creative.
