september 2018 val right now skip to content val right now month september 2018 catch up time published on september 1 2018 by valrightnow 7 comments all we can do it the best we can do whoever said this was absolutely correct i was feeling pretty pleased at the time of my last post july 23 that i had been keeping up with at least one post per month i know that isn t much compared to many bloggers but it is all a process right i am not going to beat myself up but just try to catch up a bit today having not been blogging you might guess that i was not keeping up with my monthly planner either you would be right that doesn t mean i have not been busy in my sewing room or other places since my last post i have completed all my stash bee blocks and another round of wonky stars swap these are the wonky star blocks i sent out i just love these crazy things and am getting quite a collection i think a few more will be arriving as the swap deadline is this month so i won t post the collection i have yet in august i was queen bee of the stash bee hive 5 i selected a simple 9 patch block so it would be easy for everyone during the busy summer month i was so lucky to receive 17 blocks some folks made multiples so it almost fills my wall originally i had planned to cut the big blocks up into smaller squares and make a unique arrangement something like this at this point after putting them all up on my design wall i am not sure i love the simplicity of these blocks just as they are and the pops of color i am going to have to look at this for a while and play with the blocks in august we also went on a cruise to alaska it was a time spent with my son in law and his family we had been before but it was a different kind of trip for them as they would usually choose to travel to a tropical climate the highlight for me since i had not seen it on our previous trip was the glacier they got very close for such a big ship this was the dawes glacier and they take you up the arm of the fjord slowly because of the icebergs once they get as close as possible they rotate the ship 360 degrees so everyone can see even if they want to stay inside this time of year it was quite cold we stood on the bow of the ship for about 3 hours the boys were more interested in playing basketball actually i guess that is to be understood but their parents did make sure they stopped to be part of swinging the ship around and they made it a game to get to all sides of the ship as it turned i do believe they thought it was pretty cool after all a few other pics from the trip since the cruise i have been trying to use my time to clear out some works in progress that ever growing ufo pile can be daunting in no particular order here are the finishes so far i am not sure how many months ago i asked photographer ric ergenbirght if i could try quilting the picture on the right above he kindly allowed me to give it a go something i had been wanting to try and have had no lessons on i guess it came out okay for a first try i think i need some training i call this lap quilt caribbean courthouse steps i am thinking of donating it to a good cause perhaps a hospital cancer center or senior living home this little piece has been a thorn in my side as they say it started out to be part of the sienna sunburst qal with then came june i really just couldn t get into it so i asked my hubby to pick some fabric he only asked for something very plain and simple well he got that in the fabric i got the bright idea to make it bigger and that was another thing i had never done it was not perfect but he liked s it i guess that is a good thing he also want no batting no quilting and he even said no binding he just wanted that unfinished flimsy hanging on a wall that was not possible for me so i compromised on what you see no batting but it is backed in a simple fabric and slightly quilted with a variegated thread phew another one out of the stack fall always seems to bring many projects and i now have two projects in the works i expect more to come my friend and sewmate jude and i have started a charity quilt using these beautiful marcia derse fabrics above above is a peek at a special request quilt that is in the works more to come as these and other projects unfold this fall today is september 1 i am so happy to have fall in the air it is a favorite time of year for me i got a good start on the month by completing the september stash bee hive five blocks cute little kitties aren t they this year is the first time i have been in a bee and it has been great i hope
