Midnight and everyone is in bed TBTG
My balance of free productive time is uneven. Tonight I tried Accuquilt piecing for the first time.
I have had the machine and dies for at least 9 years.. I have used it for applique, not piecework.
This die has a 2.5 inch square, 2 triangles that make 2.5 when sewn and a 4.5 inch middle block
I wonder what other blocks I can make with this combination.
A few years back, I was gifted this blend of fabric. Good thing to start on fabric not favorite...where waste will not cause heart disease...
These blocks are on my portable design wall.
I also need to know how to store them...I have seen others with little boxes, etc.
I am hopeless at organization...so looking for help.
Since I decided on this midnight project, my sewing room is a total disaster.
I clean, I get distracted by lovely fabric and UFOs and new ideas...OMG.
Where is a personal assistant when I need one.
Everyone has their own passions. Now, Lynsey is busy on her new Christmas phone learning new Tik Tok dances and, by the way, sign language..Dylan is forever on computer games.
Tomorrow, I will check out ways to store these pieces
I will check out ways to use the pieces in different blocks.
Let me know which dies you all use...if you do.
Maybe I will clean and maybe I will sew.
Maybe I will do my 25 bi-cep curls with my number 6,,,,such a brave lady.
Maybe I will read a book.....or maybe I will make dinner....again..
There are only four of us now in the house. But, one would think there were 40 with all the eating and snacking and the food bill.
Midnight. I can clearly hear that only my son is asleep. There is furniture moving upstairs, There is probably a sleepover with sleeping bags...food hidden where it should not be.
Maybe after my second Covid shot, I can hire cleaning help....For some reason there are chocolate cake crumbs all over the floor.
No, guess no hired help yet.....with the new mutations. We have to clean the house ourselves. The dishwasher goes 3 times a day and so does the washing machine.
My son is a smoker and children all over are getting Covid more often.
Time will tell.
Meantime, we have a nice house in the woods, we are warm and together and so far...mostly healthy.
Life is still good.
