Here is a photo of my RRCB on my bed in my room finally. The curtains are newly purchased from Ikea and have all of the colours that are in RRCB and Easy Street. I am sure my Orca Bay would not clash either. The great big black hole is MJ's giant tv that will stay in the room until he is back from Thailand or wherever his travels will be. It is not in my way. The dog can stay with the DH as far as I am concerned.
This is a photo of DS on his way to the airport Feb. 19th to begin his travels to Thailand. He went from temps of -40C to temps of +30C. He says it is so hot he want to vomit unless he is in air conditioning or under a fan. He had a minor motorcycle accident the second week and has been healing from scrapes and bruises. We miss him.
This mess is a future rug for my bedroom. It is done by making the rope by spool-knitting fabric strips then sewing them together. I started it way back when, at least 10 years ago and I finally picked it up again to finish. It will make a good sized bed side mat. I am sure that the dog will take it over. I tried to figure out how to attached the coils together by crocheting them with pearl cotton but my pea brain could not come up with anything that looked decent, so sewing with doubled quilting thread was my solution. I want to finish sewing it together soon so that I can finally work on the puzzle DH bought me for Christmas.
Well it is a bright sunny Sunday and I should be out enjoying it but I do not like going anywhere on the weekends. Too busy with people. DH and the dog have gone for a nap already. I think I will either grab my ipod and sew on the rug some more or go and prep the baby quilts I have quilted so far for binding. I am just turning the backing over and machine stitching down. I have four quilts ready to sew bindings and four more that can be quilted. I have two on the flannel board that are ready to be stitched together. You cannot see the top of my cutting table for scraps but I do not have the concentration right now to figure out what to do with all of the smaller strips. I am sure ideas will stew around in my head and I will figure something out. Meanwhile this week I will work on the embroidered quilt belonging to Lois. Feathers and more feathers are the answer.
Happy stitching.
