nishes _2015 finishes _1996 2014 finishes wip free stuff _free patterns _tutorials _quilting by anne marie one monthly goal stories from the sewing room featured slider jimothy wednesday september 16 2026 last week i was trying to plan out my projects i m happy to report that i made a small amount of progress i was able to piece the jimothy block he s going to be turned into a pillow cover we need to decide if it will be a bound pillow or a stitch and turn out type and he needs to be quilted first but it s progress something to remember for next time is to really reduce the stitch length on the tiny pieces the pattern is from getting jazzy with it her instructions were good and i really liked that there were alignment marks on the bigger units so you knew where to line up adjoining paper chunks i have decided on a pattern actually a mash up for the dress to wear to the wedding and ordered appropriate fabric and have had the patterns printed i m waiting on both to arrive i ve decided to tackle the smaller of the chicken cross stitches first and have made a small amount of progress for some reason i d stitched one comb and a little bit of body on each project before setting them aside anyway i figured if i started with the smaller easier one i d feel like i accomplished something because it would be easier to finish i ve considered how to recover the dining room chairs and might go with the easy selection there as well i ll need to remove the seat from one of the chairs to measure how much fabric i might need and go from there no further progress on anything else i did order a quilt kit that has a six week stitch along starting next week i thought maybe i d try to work along with that so that i m not left with yet another ufo i m not that into halloween but somehow i always get suckered in by cute halloween projects see ghostie girls runners still not sewn speaking of halloween i found a pumpkin vine growing in the rock retaining wall behind my house the pumpkins in the garden are ready to harvest i have made zero progress on my omg i have one week yikes thought i had two weekend plans perhaps i m still trying to make my way through my quilting queue here are the quilts that i ve worked on since last week first three more memory quilts for annie quilted with diagonal plaid bias these all have a strip of t shirts down the back as well which you can see in the first picture i still need to make the binding from the backing and bind three of the four memory quilts next annie s other quilt quilted with abracadabra i quilted cloud nine petite on trish s quilt and lacy loops on her other quilt jae decided on ground cover for this one other than that life has been happening my husband requested help with the blown in insulation in his barn ceiling he thought it would take about two hours to put in 30 bags of insulation he would be up on the ladder and i would feed the batts into the hopper despite wearing ppe i was covered in dust i was sweating profusely and my nose was running and my mask was soaked in sweat so it probably didn t really keep me from breathing in the dust my eyes were in misery and are not yet fully recovered the hopper did not work well and i had to break every bale into little chunks to get past the safety fencing and push it down in with a stick plus i m still not at 100 health wise i made it for two and half hours in which we got 14 bags installed his boss kindly came over and helped him finish the job in another 2 5 hours at this point half of the ceiling insulation is in place i m not sure how i feel about having to repeat this process to complete the other half of the job we met up with my son for lunch on friday while leaving campus we saw a delivery robot he also came home briefly friday night and we brought him a camera lens monday evening i enjoy every second i won t get to see my daughter for another couple of weeks smoky the rooster has started to do some really creaky crowing most mornings we re taking that as an encouraging sign because they stay silent when they re ill henry leaves the coop most days but has to be put back in at night peanut had really been struggling and we unfortunately lost her last night here s a picture of her and smoky from back in april before all this started monday morning i heard some weird noises and looked out the window towards the coop the three bigger hens were in the garden and they were making alarm noises at a much lower volume than the alarm noises silkies make because there was a fox nooo smoky wasn t alarming but he was patrolling the area under the coop luckily henry and peanut weren t out the other hens penny poppy and nugget hopped up into one of the garden tanks and froze i went out two separate times and circled the entire area hoping to scare away the fox ugh not how i wanted my day to start the entire area is as reinforced as we can get it above and below ground but i would hate for a clever critter to figure out how to sneak in and kill our pets finally this gem from kroger the lemons weren t even on this table at all ️ linking with quiltery and alycia quilts posted by anne marie at 8 00 am 3 comments labels chickens garden jimothy longarm quilting quilt planning stages wednesday september 9 2026 i ve been thinking about all the things i need to do or would like to do i probably spend more time thinking about what to do than i do actually doing maybe you can relate i have two pieces of mending for one i haven t been able to find the right color thread the other isn t immediately urgent but would be nice to have done and out of my sewing room i have plenty of projects that are half done and several small new start projects to complete my daughter wants a jimothy pillow from getting jazzy with it i had pulled part of the fabrics about a month ago and one of the times she was home she picked a background from my stash however the fabric i had selected as the main raccoon fur was too close in scale to the background she picked she really really wanted to stick with the background fabric which is a debbie mumm print that should give you an idea of its age anyway we went to the fabric store over the weekend and we eventually agreed upon a new fur fabric the new fabric is a linen print that they had in the cotton markdown section i ll need to wash it before i can get going on this one the original and the replacement are the bottom two fabrics since my daughter was home i made her help me switch out the quilt on her bed thankfully the sides are long enough to cover the mattress at least until i wash and dry it at some point in the future here are a few views of it in place one in natural lighting dark and one with the light on as you can see she likes her stuffed animals she is the personality type that likes all her things to be on display outie and i m not innie so i usually don t go in her room unless i need to since it s too overwhelming for me it s hard for me to get used to the purple in there she had a very light pink quilt for 20 years and four houses plus a rental or two i m trying to remember but i think we ve had three different paint colors in the various houses one more thing from her room this thing is just about as tall as she is she puts her clothes on it i still haven t started sewing the ghostie girls runners that i cut out a few weeks ago i haven t been able to drag myself down into my sewing room the last few weekends i did organize all the pieces to try to make it easier to find each one i am in need of an evening handwork project so i pulled out a few knitting projects and a few partially completed small cross stitch projects to pick from or more realistically to rotate through one of the knitting projects is a blanket on size 8 needles so that will be a major commitment i guess i m kind of missing the utter mindlessness of the selvedge rugs i need to replace the fabric on our dining room chairs they came with removable slip covers i can only find two of the six and they are just light natural canvas so they show everything we bought these chairs over 15 years ago and i put laminated cotton on them since the kids were little half of them are stained and torn now it s hard to find laminated cotton these days i d prefer that since it s a quick job otherwise i d need to recreate the slip covers and then i d still have a hard time finding suitable fabric since jo ann is gone i really miss jo ann finally we have been invited to an outdoor wedding with a semi formal dress code i have about two months to figure out something to wear since nothing ready to wear ever fits me correctly i need to choose a pattern find an appropriate fabric do all the fitting and complete it i d kind of forgotten about or blocked this event probably at least partially due to the dress requirement i found it really hard last week to get any work done i didn t feel all that great until thursday and i also had 14 people stop by during the week with their quilts i did finish a few quilts somehow these are from wednesday to tuesday i completed trudy s quilt quilted with star spangled banner i quilted cinnamon swirl on heidi s quilt i bound carole s t shirt quilt that i shared last week i quilted winterfest on heidi s other quilt i quilted diagonal plaid bias on the first of four memory quilts annie made these will be a bit of a challenge for me with the pieced front and back and the wide variety of fabrics included i decided to do the most challenging one front denim overall pocket with snaps first i m supposed to bind all of these i need to measure and see if there s enough backing fabric left to do the job paula w agreed to in the swirls for her quilt and wanted purple thread jumping over to the great outdoors my husband harvested a few tiny bell peppers and a watermelon i ve consumed one of the peppers we haven t cut open the melon yet to see if it s even edible we made jalapeño poppers with our 11 coolapenos they were quite tasty definitely better right out of the oven than reheated though we d been discussing how the street sweeper hadn t been through our neighborhood this year friday it did come through but it wasn t the normal one it didn t use any water mostly it just seemed to be blowing the dirt around and redistributing it i couldn t see any of the brushes actually turning the sky was rather dramatic saturday evening i have a video of some lightning within a cloud but i m feeling too lazy to try to upload it all the clouds we could see had lightning during our walk but only just flashes within the clouds never any bolts or anything this cloud is lit up mid lightning flash not as fun as the actual flickering but easier to upload our cruddy hot weather finally broke sunday morning it was perfectly sunny in the morning and then rained heavily for a few minutes it got hot again yesterday and it s supposed to be hot today as well then cool back down a bit healthwise i m finally to the point where i can breathe easily and the cough seems to be lessening i m still tiring pretty easily i m making it most days til about three and then i m just wiped out meanwhile the eye doctor has me trying bifocal contact lenses i was surprised how good my distance vision was almost immediately i m still adjusting to the close up they had me doing a mono vision combo the last few years so it s quite a change aging is fun ha as my mother says beats the alternative and with that i shall wrap things up see you next week p s i think i m all caught up on the omg link ups wordpress
