Plugging Along

Have you ever had one of those days where you just can't get your act together to sew?  I had a couple.  I mentioned in my previous post that I was trying to make a backing and I just could not get the math right.  Not only did i have a challenge with math but with piecing too.

I was working on the Aurifil Block of the Month.  I love the pattern but it just won't go together right.
I even double checked my measurements.

It is a hot mess.  I am actually taking it apart once again.

I got my backing ready for my quilt.


All pinned and ready to quilt.
DH brought me home some treasures.
These two old ladders I think we will sand a bit, varnish, and put up for sale as quilt ladders.  Love the hardware. 
My lettuce and romaine are looking mighty yummy.  Think it is time to harvest it.  I see some salads in our future.

  4. Those ladders will make marvelous quilt ladders! I have issues with math too - crazy to have that kind of handicap and be a quilter, but it can't be helped.... we can't help what we love, right?
