motenema motenema friday february 16 2018 wedding quilt flimsy done well almost it s a bad picture but it s really just to show that i ve sewn it together the living room floor was probably covered in toys or blocks or dog hair so quick throw on the couch and tadaa proof that it is a wrinkly flimsy except i guess it s not a complete flimsy because i m probably adding borders shh it s a big accomplishment for me til next time posted by tess at 8 33 am no comments labels flimsy quilt wedding tuesday february 13 2018 wedding quilt i love the difference taking a picture makes when i first laid these out it looked like a random hodgepodge of blocks but looking at the picture the chain of squares really pops out making me feel much better yay progress til next time posted by tess at 10 40 am 1 comment labels quilt wedding friday february 9 2018 tshirt rug done so remember how i said it was a sombrero look how much extra braid i had stuffed in the center of the rug before this lighting makes it look sort of bluish the last picture in the post is more accurate for color it almost reaches all the way around the rug s outer circumference no wonder it was buckling so i ended up splicing the extra braid into the end of the original braid to get an extra 2 of diameter on the rug and i finished it i ve done a little more since i took these pictures like the place where i changed colors at the bottom of that previous picture and the medium gray fabric is sticking out from the braid that got tacked into place along with a few other spots around the edges i ll get some more detailed close up pictures of it in it s new home soon and get the official diameter for you but i m super excited and it s flat i promise the colors make it look wavy but i swear it s not see no waves all flat most importantly it s done til next time posted by tess at 11 00 am 4 comments labels braid rug tshirt wednesday february 7 2018 tshirt rug 3rd time s the charm sooo i didn t get a picture but this rug had turned into a sombrero when your son uses it as a ramp for his monster trucks you know it s not a great rug i think it was the stitch i was using to sew the braids together because at one point i changed my stitch and from that point on the rug was fairly flat i ve been told that i am using a blind hem stitch and it s working sooo great for me after telling my husband the options he suggested i finish sewing it to the end other options were to rip it out and machine sew it or rip it all out and start again from the center instead i ripped out the center of the rug until it laid flat i started resewing towards the center with the clearly better for me blind hem stitch it s laying nice and flat now so i ll keep circling in til i get to the center strange enough it doesn t feel backwards to sew from the outside in wish me luck if it goes wrong at this point i think i may just keep it a doughnut i m losing a little steam with this one i m very glad i didn t rip out the whole thing definitely saved me time and sanity til next time posted by tess at 8 57 am 2 comments labels braid rug tshirt saturday january 27 2018 goals for 2018 for some reason my phone

these are all things i definitely want to do i have a stack of projects that i have started throughout the years and not finished that i am unsure about they may get recycled they may get tossed they may be redesigned they may be completed as originally planned they re not as high priority so most will likely be dismantled and used in other ways but who knows you may still see some of them on this blog til then posted by tess at 4 14 pm 1 comment labels 2018 goals tuesday january 23 2018 train blanket the beginnings more train fabric from the friend who gave me the train book panel my son wanted to do another job project with me when i got this i figured it was perfect i asked him what he wanted to make and he said a blanket the fabric s not very big the above panel is 32 x41 i haven t decided if i ll try to put some more borders around it to make it bigger or just leave it and have it be a toddler bed size quilt i ll probably ask him as well it is his blanket after all he helped me trim both pieces we hold the rotary cutter together and we each have a hand on the ruler then he got distracted by racing monster trucks down my mini ironing board leaning against the couch love that kid til next time posted by tess at 10 00 am 1 comment labels blanket chuggington thomas train saturday january 20 2018 wedding quilt slow slow progress wedding quilt i love little stacks of fabric
