Slow Sunday Stitching! 13 November 2022

Happy Sunday! The weather is my kind of weather! 38 this morning with 50% humidity and an entire week of the same – YIPPEE! I can say that I love it! I have been dealing with Verizon everyday this week after we upgraded our phones and my Apple Watch. My neighbor’s problem was resolved Wednesday evening. That was 2 weeks of drama. Life goes on.

Now to what I was able to work on the last 2 weeks (not much). I am almost finished with the border for Boo’s and Bat’s cross stitch! I will complete another orange row and finish with a black one and call it a day on this project!

Rebecca has all 12 quilts to quilt, I have 4 LARGE quilts to bind, and about 15 more for me to quilt. I am sticking with my decision to not make any new quilts the remainder of the year until I finish with all of the above! Kathy reminded me of how to make Continuous Bias Binding. I plan on looking up a video on YouTube today since I will have over 400 inches of binding for each of the King Size quilts that need binding. (Fun in my future). These are quilts that I made in my early days of quilting and they have been very patient waiting for their completion! Each of the quilts have a story, but that will come when I complete them!

This is the no name quilt – as I cannot remember the pattern

I will continue to work on my Moda SAL Xmas embroidery project along with preparing 5 blocks remaining for In My Garden. If only my life would be free from drama and interruptions. I am realizing that I can control some things, but others I cannot not. Life is just like a roller coaster sometimes. I pray for peace and quiet all the time and only get drama. HUM. I remember when I prayed for patience and then God decided to test me on that one. Maybe I won’t pray for peace and quiet! LOL.

I am now going to head out for my morning walk. It is nice and cold so it will be enjoyable, and I can wait until 8:00 AM to do my walk.

Of course I cannot leave without my Election Response: I wish I had the money that was spent to just come away with the status quo at the end. I will accept and go on, but again those who think the Republicans do not stand for Democracy need to look up the meaning of the word in the dictionary. Abortion, I guess that was more important than Freedom, Inflation, oil, diesel, food, interest rates, being able to purchase a home and vehicle, etc. But it is what it is and I know that God has a plan for this Country and I firmly believe that we who love Democracy and the Free Will that God gave us will have to sit back and see how the Voters enjoy living in a 3rd World Country for the next 2 years. The youth of this country will reap the benefits as they grow up and realize that there is a big cruel world out there that they have voted for. They are Happy Campers now but that will change one day when their freedoms are gone. So for the next 2 years we will continue to have one of the most incompetent presidents EVER and the most incompetent group of cabinet members EVER.

Clay and I have had enough personal drama and man made drama in our day to day lives the past 2 years. We are secure in our lives and I thank God that we had parents who had great work ethics that was passed down to both of us. The next 2 years will be very difficult for many, so as the Bible says, You reap what you Sow!

Hugs, and have a wonderful week having fun!

  1. Nanette you are a MASTER quilt maker! My gosh, those quilts that have been patiently waiting are gorgeous. You are doing such a pretty job on Bats and Boos.
    You sound exactly like my husband and me as we have watched election results. At first I was depressed, then I was angry at all the negative reactions from the liberal press, then this morning I woke up with more of your attitude. There is nothing I can do about it. People have a right to vote the way they choose, and if this is what the majority want, then I will just bide my time until things (hopefully) get better. I refuse to be bitter and intractable and will instead just do my best to make my little world a better place.

    1. Thank you so much Linda. I used to make BIG AND BIGGER quilts! Trying to make them a little smaller – it is a bear to put 400″ of binding on a quilt.

      At least we won the House. I am glad that President Trump announced Tuesday – now the idiots won’t have anything to get in the way on 3 January 2023. At least the Wicked Witch from California is GONE FOREVER! YEA. Clay still gets upset, but I am determined to just watch the 3 programs on FOX, and some I try to watch, but Paul Ryan is such the AH on the Board of FOX, he has his RINO pets and I try to not give them a lot of time! I do believe that Trump will win in 2024, but it will be a hard hill to climb. Hugs

  3. Hi Nanette! OMG – Folk Art Christmas is just GORGEOUS. I love everything about it. Does it have a home already or do you have a plan for it? I hope it will be enjoyed by you and Clay. Should you EVER get tired of it, and don’t have a clue who might give it a good home . . . I hope you think of me. HAHAHA! I love your pumpkin cross stitch piece, too. I haven’t done cross stitch in a while – we used to have our own CS shop. We have so many framed pieces that some are stored in the closet (gasp). However, I do still love doing it! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. Thank you so much Rosanne! Wait until you see the other one when Rebecca finishes quilting it. I will be keeping it. I will put you on the list. LOL. I am a newbie to cross stitch and love it – it is very relaxing for me. Appreciate the sweet words. Hug

    1. Thank you Karla. I have 2 Christmas quilts – one is with the Longarm quilter. The fabric is from Robyn Pandolph 2000-2002 fabrics. I think I have enough to make a smaller quilt. I learned how to needle turn applique with Robyn. She is great. Hugs and come back again.

    1. It is just so hard to not want to make a new quilt top, but….. I am going to charge forward and be so happy by New Year’s Eve. I may have a lot of little UFO’s completed. The hand braces will come in hand to get all the hand work completed! Hugs and come back again!
