After all the problems, the Teal Quilt is finally finished. Whoo-hoo! 

This was more of a challenge than I anticipated. 

First, it's a remake of the Black and Tan quilt I made last year, but making it monochromatic meant finding just the right fabric hue, value, and intensity. Shopping ensued. The placement of darks and mediums is crucial for the dark diagonal grid framework to emerge. Squint at the photo and you'll see it more clearly. 

Second, and more frustrating, the quilting was a nightmare, as I've written about in several recent posts. Thanks to much troubleshooting ...

 I've gotten the snake's head done, and started on the rounds.

It's cold! It's 26 now, and next week could find us in the teens! Yikes! 

Plan for today is to stay in. I want to get into the sewing room and read the directions for the tree skirt pattern. 

It's been too cold to walk and I miss stretching my legs.  (I could walk at the rec center but that's early morning and I prefer to walk in the afternoon.)

When we left off on Tuesday, both sides of the purse had pockets and handles attached. Today, I’ll show you the finishing.

Next is to put in the zipper. I place the zipper right sides together at the top of one side of the purse. Stitch at about 1/4-inch seam allowance. Stop when the pull is reached, lift the presser foot and move the pull out of the way, past the point of the needle. Then lower the foot again, and continue stitching to the end.

Fold over the zipper to the wrong side, pushing the seam allowance ...

Good to know I'm not alone in my frustration with the call centers! To top it off, DH finally had a chance to look at the new remote last night. For whatever reason, he put the same batteries as he tried last time into the old remote, and it worked. I give up! I'm going to make that note for him - put it on the TV. I'm pretty sure he is authorized to chat on our account. If not, you can be sure I'll make that happen! 

Not my problem -- I'm done with that. For ...

 The last few days of October, I saw a quilt using this fabricAnd instantly, I heard God whisper, "Brenna". Brenna is a close friend of our girl's. They were once co-workers and although they have changed jobs, their friendship has endured. Brenna is like family and an honorary aunt to baby L. I've spent time with her numerous times and she's just a gem. She's also a bookworm like us,

There is a new block drive for Hands to Help.  I am happy to send some blocks. I wasn’t able to participate in the last block drive, but I have time to make a few right now, and I do like making “happy blocks”. My problem is reading directions! Seriously. I made some four patches, and I was so happy with them. I lined them up and took a picture.

2023 Block of the Month Club Where I left it

 Here I am!  WoW, its hard to get back to the normal routine after all the hoopla of the holidays.  I hope everyone found peace and happiness as 2025 ended.  Our family was blessed for sure.  Just getting a break in the winter weather to celebrate Christmas was amazing.  Spending some quiet time with my inner circle was a gift too.  It seems that lately, I'm getting less and less time to do that.  

 This morning, I woke with a sinus headache. Not my favorite thing to wake up with. I thought last night when I went to bed it was a migraine, but NOPE it was a sinus headache! Lucky me!

I took the day easy. I didn't feel in the mood to do much, so I enjoyed the morning watching my shows I had recorded. Patrick came home when I was done with the first 3 and he watched the other 2 with me. Now, I'm caught up.
