Howling Wind
The session in the studio went very well. I don’t do a lot of sitting. I bounce from the sewing machine to the ironing board to the cutting table. When the furnace is running, the heat vent in the studio hits between the sewing machine and the ironing board from on top. It doesn’t take long the hair on my head feels as if it has gone through a whirl wind.
Though I have several projects in the works right now, I really want to stay on top of getting the seven placemats bound. I have two left. Having gotten the knack of getting the binding joined cleanly with the 45 degree stitch, I’d like to see it through. If the appliqueing of the snowflakes onto the placemats stalls, at least there would be seven placemats to use when and of the need would arise.
I do watch quite a bit of quilting via YouTube. I am not in enamored by the print found on fabric right now. The colors are loud and the designs on the fabric are huge. That speaks to my age. The fabrics in my stashes are easily paired as the colors are cohesive. The matchie match is not trending right now. That also speaks to clothing. Putting stripes with plaids can be seen. That is all fine with me. I will keep my likes to myself as I am no longer in with the latest of the latest.
Our crockpot meal of last night was a winner. This evening’s fair is leftovers. I chopped up the two leftover hamburger patties. I used the gravy-like contents of the crockpot and mixed in the chopped meat. Supper will be known as hamburger gravy over a batch of instant mashed potatoes with a side of the creamed cucumbers that were left. Sweet indeed.
We are prepared for a change in the weather. Right now the howling wind can be heard from the southeast. We had not put our shovel aside. The leaf blower is still in the accessible if needed to blow ourselves out from the back door if incumbered with snow.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
